I wish you made a downloadable version or fullscreen cause i can't play it very well. Whenever i press space, the browser scrolls down. If you have a workaround for this let me know so I can come back and give it a better rating. The music also starts over when I go back to the main menu from collectables and doesn't stop the previous sounds resulting in stacked and i guess looped sounds, but that's just a minor complaint. Cool idea tho!

How does your game utilize the limitation and theme?
in my game you run to the end and then start running through the level backwards and blind going there and back. it has collectables what else should i say lol

Interesting idea, cool name for the idea too. It was really very challenging, lol I thought my game was hard. I've never played a GDevelop game before, never even heard of it, so I'm interested in looking into that.
I found that the audio is balanced to the left side more than the right, that was the only real technical issue I found.
Good job 👍🏾

Great work! I was really enjoying it, but I couldn't get past level 7. I tried so many times and just kept dying. I'd suggest to make that level a bit easier.
Good concept. Nice character and game. It’s great that you did everything by yourself it’s really cool. If you will improve the art in the future I think the game will looks better. Anyway congratz!
Very interesting idea. It was a bit hard, would be nice if the game showed you what killed you so you know where you made a mistake
Tried the game again in chrome and got it to work! I don't know what everyone is talking about level 8 is a piece of cake ;) I've actually found a method that works for every level but 8-10 but I won't spill the beans, figure it out for yourself. Suggestion, don't make the music stop and start over when you die! Another nifty little game from the mind of Malek, congrats brother!
The concept is so awesome!!! Get someone for art and audio and you have a new addictive mobile video game! I can totally see this becoming the next flappy bird. So simple but so brilliant! Congrats ^^
Can we really call it There and Back IF I NEVER MAKE IT BACK! *Throws Controller*
Joking aside rage platformers are some of my favorites and this was a blast to play with the clever lights out mechanic. Impressive work tuning the jumps to be pixel perfect - it made it feel that much better when you make it to the end.
Never got past the last spring jump on lvl11, but it wasn't for lack of trying! Cheers, great submission to the jam!
I couldn't play because every time i press space the itch.io page went down to the comments, I will try again later
Cute, if a little frustrating for the player to play.
The music strangely fits better when looking at the game, than it did in the discord. :P
Problems are:
-Some of the jumps require way too much precision.
-Other levels I straight up just beat by holding jump.
-Not having a "3, 2, 1, go" at the start meant I was guessing when I was gonna start moving.
-There wasn't really any juice. Adding some would have made it more fun to play and maybe even more fun to lose.
-Using the space bar for jump sometimes scrolls a persons page in a browser game. Giving an alternative next time would be a great idea.
All in all,
It's a cute and fun little game that's a little frustrating and could use better art/music.
This is a really cute game! I loved the simplistic graphics and the gameplay was fun if not someone frustrating lol. I got to level 7 but I just couldn't get the timing correct at all. Getting all the bonus collectibles was also super fun. I think letting the player do smaller than full height jumps would make the game feel perfect.
That was great but level 8 was too much for me :( Definitly made me very ANGRY so good job!
