Fun game, very simple. The only big thing is that it's wayyyy too hard. If that's what you're going for then fair enough. An easy way to fix the difficulty would either be to slow the AI down or have a slower difficulty curve (for example the third jump is really hard but the one with just the hallway of spikes then laser for AI is much easier. So put the easier stuff first then harder. This would mean you'd need checkpoints after a section, maybe just have it be levels-easy, medium, and hard). This gives me Geometry Dash vibes so maybe a practice mode and pairing the AI's movement to the music would be really cool (also super hard to finish in a Jam but still it's an idea). Overall, cool game just needs a better difficulty curve. :)

really hard but this make you feel that you need to keep trying. love the juicy animation when the player jump. Great game !
Great game, loved the music. Visuals are simple. Interesting idea. But the game is really hard to play.
I think the difficulty isn't nearly as much the problem as is the length of level(s. It took me long enough to get past a few obstacles in the first level only to then realise there's more.
But I'm a difficult platform enjoyer myself (completed Celeste as well), so I had fun. It's definitely a great gameplay concept!
The idea is great. It fits the topic. I like that there is a tutorial. Visuals could be improved, maybe add a few more colors or details here and there? The sounds are also very solid. The biggest problem is definitely the difficulty. I am not that good at platformers so it was very hard for me, but the game idea is there. Just too difficult. Also, the hitboxes seem weird but maybe that is just me. Overall, not a bad game, just, not for me :)
It would be awesome if you could play and rate my game as well!
Simplicity ♥
FEEDBACKS :
- no AZERTY controls T-T
- camera fast following us can make precision platformers harder
- cool music and SFX
- Wallclimbing feels good
- I can't swap. I guess AZERTY again...
Sadly, I can't really see the game because of the binds... :3
I wish you had a few easier levels at the start for people who suck at platformers like me!
Absolutely love the game though, super clever mechanic, clean visuals, and great level design! 5/5 good job dude!
So, agreed with the others that this is very hard. Having said that, I'm super impressed. Super clean looking, well put together, and I love the interpretation of the theme!
Nice submission, solid gameplay, maybe a little too hard but still ok ! good job, nice submission !
feel free to test mine :)
Still stuck on the first level but I'll try to make it :D
