Use of the limitation
Knives in real life don't have superpowers. In our game, a knife forgotten behind a counter is blessed by the "Blade God", and is now able to jump and leap through the air, with the final goal of returning to the knife holder on the other side of the kitchen.

That's a really well executed game! I had lots of fun flipping the knife and moving around. Though i didn't quite figure out how to change directions. The knife seems to roll around a bit when I use arrow keys, but it's not always consistent with the direction it rolls in

All in all, a very nice and fun entry

I like building up momentum with the knife. The music is soothing. 

I think an indicator to let the player know which button boosts which side, and to let the player know that the boost for that specific side is ready for use would be helpful.

A tough knife-flipping game.

In such a short time the game is well developed, nice graphics and addictive gameplay that I enjoyed spending an evening playing. Great job!

Loved your comment, that's basically what we were looking for :) We were basically inspired by "Im Bread" and "Getting Over It".

I will play your game tomorrow and leave a review. I'm about to sleep now.

What a unique game! I really enjoyed controlling the knife, even though it was really difficult! 🔪
