Damn I suck lmao
The knockback is intense but I think the bigger problem you feel with it is how intensely strong the gravity is. You CAN NOT react to save yourself. Buuut I think it fits what you're going for still.
I think the presentation is great, I think the graphics work well and the CRT shader was nice
I think the height being tied to your distance was a good idea, it reminds me a lot of the SMB3 P-bar; and likewise I think it would have benefited from the character having visible acceleration or something like the p-bar to show your height potential.
Also yeah when you discover the tech with boosting through floors the game becomes SUPER fun, I know it wasn't intentional but yeah. I can't get a score as low as whoever got sub 1 minute tho that person is cracked
