Quite a polished game which looks great. I think the enemies look very cute with their little wheels rolling around, and the whole aesthetic and ambient music makes it feel relaxing but very cool at the same time. The ability to build momentum and even use physics to propel yourself feels awesome. I think it could use some invulnerability frames when getting hit, so the player doesn’t get unintentionally damaged twice, or thrice when moving. At least a split second of invincibility would be nice. The mute sound option at the top can get in the way and the player can sometimes accidentally click it, so I would prefer it to be placed in a separate menu or hotkey. Lastly, I think that the enemies took a tad bit too long to kill, especially the boss which is a little bit bullet-spongey. Great effort, really digging the feel of this game!

Great game! I love the lighting effects, the laser beam boss enemy, and the little hacking minigame to unlock all the levels (yeah, I did it). I'll admit that I found the controls a little hard, but that's coming from a left handed person who never uses WASD so that might just be me. Just a very pretty, polished and well designed game! Well done!
Loved it. Totally cheesed the boss, not gonna feel guilty about it. Nice level of challenge, and not a game that outstays its welcome. Lots of visual polish. Great stuff.
what engine are you using? can you do a web build?
Great game. Loved the look of the game and the physicy movement felt great. If I died I could just catch up to where I was by sprint-jumping across the level. Only the boss wasn't the best but still a great use of the assets.
Very good. Highlights for the Neon style, the music and the gameplay. It could be more speed orienbted like Sonic tho.
