This is so cool! I love the fact that you can unlock new abilities and stuff to make it that much more engaging. I found myself falling a lot lol but that could be a skill issue. Also, I found myself jumping naturally to the rhythm which could be a cool mechanic to expand on and make it more of a focal point. Nice work!

very interesting concept, I really liked the metroidvania-like map... being able to explore adds to the depth of the game, though not much to do atm except collect coins.

the controls could use a bit of an adjustment as it feels too slippery, and isnt as precise as id like it to be. the switching of the platforms being based on in-game time also kills any momentum... I wonder if having the switch based on your jump be better.

art-wise, i think it looks really nice... having slight variations with the tiles and making some moving parts to the levels might make the game more visually interesting, as currently everything does look static.

This interpretation of the theme was very clever, and applied to the gameplay in such a fun way with the binary numbers switching around! Your use of the sound effects was super intentional and clear. I really liked the movement, Pico-8 Celeste vibe. I really like the jungle drums you got going here too, straight heat

Aside from the polish of the clean art style and the great movement, like others have already said, adding checkpoints would have made the experience even smoother... But on the other hand, it does fit that old school vibe of a less forgiving & challenging game lmao. I really enjoyed playing, super well done!

Damn really creative idea using the binaries, The game is hard but fun kinda of hard, Had a great time playing it.
The polish is great as well. I would have appreicated some checkpoints as other people have said, but other than that, Great game.

oh my the level design was crazy good and hard but this is a solid game, i mean no offense at all it is a simple good old metrodvania but the polish you have here is CRAZY, suprised this was only 1 week's worth of work cuz wtf u did a good job here

Unique take on the theme! The sound effects were integrated seamlessly. I thought it felt very natural.

I will partially agree with the comment on your page though. While going for full completion and collecting all the coins, making one quick mistake can lead to having to play the whole game again. And honestly that's a fair challenge, but it did demotivate me a little. But that's a tiny nitpick with the post-game. Overall the game is really cool!!

Great game loved the idea!

The movement was great and responsive the level designs

were really good!

i felt like the music didnt really feat the vibes

of the game, it was too intense.

i also feel like there could be more going on visually

maybe a small background or more interesting tiles.

overall its really good! i liked it
