cool game! Definitely has a nice retro theme to it with the art style and music/sounds! I like the unconventional mechanics you added to, definitely makes it more enjoyable to play & is pretty creative! Would have liked to to speed up faster, but otherwise good work!

That's the most common criticism I've gotten, but I'm not sure if I want to change it. My best run is 1.82x speed which is probably better than most people get, and that takes just over 6 minutes to achieve if I did the calculations right. For me personally, that's long enough to feel strongly invested in the run without being insane like the multiple hour sessions I needed to reach the top 10 leaderboards in One Finger Death Punch 2's survival mode (which is why I dropped that game). If I come back to the project I will consider some kind of dynamic speed adjustment, like collectible clocks that raise the speed instantly.
