We are terrible at precision platformers here, so we had to, erm, speedrun the game before the first jump.

We loved the dark humour of it all, and the dialogue made such a speedrun still last 5 minutes due to reading time.

We enjoyed it a lot!

thanks! Glad to hear there's something enjoyable even for you cold hearted murderers out there

A pretty interesting game. I'm far from being good enough to be able to pass those challenges, but it's an interesting take on the whole theme and the superhero story. Will definitely recommend it to a friend of mine who's into challenge platformers!

Developer

thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

I generally don't like precision platformers and this one was no different  :)

Nicely done!  all the elements worked together well.  I got hit with some major mood whiplash.  

Developer

thanks! I think

It's like The Incredibles + that one horror movie that had the game thing

Developer

I think that's a compliment, so thanks!

Wow, this is a super interesting game!  The narrative and dialogue is easily the star of the show here.  The opening story got me hooked almost immediately, and the humor added a lot to the experience.  I also love games with multiple endings, so I had a really had a good time with this.  If there were a story category for the rankings, this would easily be 5 stars.  The gameplay was strong too, and the controls felt nice and fluid.  The game was difficult in a good way, and I could feel myself improving with each attempt.  The graphics are nice and fit the atmosphere of the game.  The audio was probably the most lackluster element, which honestly says a lot for how well composed everything else is.  I haven't been able to actually clear the second or third levels yet, but I plan to come back to it later.  Fantastic job!

PS: How many endings are there?  So far, I have only gotten the endings for when you take the "easy route" through each level and when you run out of attempts.

Developer

wow thanks for the kind words! There are "five" endings. I don't want to say exactly what they are, but they revolve around how many people you kill. 

I'm glad ths sound was your leas favorite part, as it was the only part i didn't do haha

I came here because you had the highest karma, and discovered your game is actually pretty good. 

You should add some screenshots or something on the main page, I had no idea what I was getting into and can see why more people haven't tried it yet. But you got a rating from me!
