Fun game. I like the fact that the targets can spawn on the platforms sometimes, forcing you to jump. This is hard though and can get a bit frustrating. Maybe allow for a bit tighter turning angle to give you a bit more control? And maybe a jump-mechanic that makes you jump higher if you hold space for a while and release.

Adherence to the theme is obvious and I like the music, it gives urgency. 

Graphically it looks good, just a bit bare bones. Some gradients or point lights might help?

Nice job and cool submisson!

Thanks for your feedback.

I definitely didn't get the opportunity to playtest the game and tune properties like I wanted to. The movement was tricky. I had to try to find the right way to always give the player forward movement while making collisions with the platforms feel good. I ended up using a force based movement approach so the player can better slide when colliding with platforms. This made turning too fast feel slippery with a weak forward force. If the forward force was too great, collisions became sticky again. Early in prototyping, I found a balance that felt right and just stuck with it due to time constraints.\

Also,  there is a variable jump height, but the effect wasn't too strong because I didn't want the jumps to be too short with just a quick tap. I think the solution here would probably be to just increase the jump impulse so the variable height effect can be stronger and offer a better range in jump height variation.

The visuals definitely could be polished a lot more. I'm not much of an artist or graphic design, and like I said, this was my first 3D project. I learned a lot about visuals, but there is still so much more for me to learn here. I'm happy the limited shapes helped make simple visuals fit.
