this is really solid! so many combinations of things making for interesting gameplay. I got to level 18 before dying - it seemed like my shoes powerup slowed me down?? or maybe I had a lingering status effect from the green floor? I’m unclear. great game!

Seriously impressive feat of design in the limited space of a game jam. Really like the mechanics as they layered in - so clever and balanced. At a certain point every finish becomes a nailbiter. Screaming at myself to "DON'T JUMP WHEN THE FLOOR IS BOUNCY" :P Forgot to notice what level I died on the first game - but I will be playing this again for sure. [Level 24 on second play. Stressful!]
Really great arcade game.
Art is simple but effective. Although I don’t understand the swords and didn’t realize what the power ups did until I picked up rollerskates which replaced my no walls power up – for a few levels before, I thought I’d played 9 levels without realizing the ends looped around. haha.
Fun and challenging and does a good job of introducing new obstacles as you progress.
Made it to level 15.

One Bar, Two Bar, Void BarGot to level 24! With the way you've designed it, the obstacles never felt cheap and I only blamed myself for mistakes. The challenge level was a surprise. This is a very well designed game. Nice job!

Out of the VoidI think this is the perfect size and scope for a jam game. So simple but I found myself getting addicted to it.

You Die In The DesertI really liked the bumpers!
It took me a while to realize that I could jump. Usually I read the instructions, but I totally failed to. So that's on me. But regardless, I prefer to jump using the up key over X. But that's just personal preference.
The sound effects messed with my ears, but I think that's a me problem. I've had a lot of games do that with super repetitious sounds.
I really liked all the different gates, power ups, and the bumpers. Well done!

Void ScavengeThanks, @mapsandapps!
Earlier I did have ⬆️ also work as jump but found that made it a bit fiddly to play on mobile. Trade offs! :D
And yeah, the sound effects can grate, they're more quieter and muted than earlier versions so it could be worse ;) There's definitely an art to making sounds that play repeatedly without messing with one's ears.
I'm glad you liked the bumpers as they were a late addition and I wasn't entirely sure if they should make cut or not 😅
