I was able to get pretty far (I think) by riding the sides. You need to set your sprites to Point filtering by the way so they don't appear fuzzy. I thought the theme was very interesting!
Thanks for the advice, this is my very first game, so I am quite new to lots of different parts of the process.
An interesting idea, the game frustrating a bit. The visuals are too blurry and the sound is a bit loud
Thank you for your feedback, not quite sure what you mean about the visuals though?
On my side, the visuals look blurry as if the pixel art faced compression.
Also, consider checking out our game too!
I will make sure to! Sorry about the compression issues, I will make sure to look into it.
Challenging game, music was a little too loud and collision was sometimes a little funky, but the idea was cool!
Thanks, I hope you enjoyed it.
Quite challenging indeed, but I had a lot of fun with it! I think the concept is super clever. I felt bad leaving my fellow bits behind. I think the difficulty is in the right spot but maybe there could be a benefit to saving a bit like a small speed boost. Also moving backwards when getting caught on the platforms later in the game was difficult. Cheers!
Thanks for the great feedback, a reward for collecting bits is a great idea. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
immense, however, I found it was pretty difficult.
Found it extremely difficult to get many bits without dying (quite possible I just suck and precise movement games) But had to comment to applaud the nerdy play on words with byte back :D
I'm glad you appreciated the word play, unfortunately the game is really difficult! We were trying to make it easy, but a friend really enjoyed the challenge and got hooked so we left it as it is.
Oh I understand, there’s definitely a market for infuriatingly difficult games, this would definitely meet the standard :D. May come back and have another crack at it later today.
I hope so! There might even be another joke at the end, but who knows?
