Great game. Love the graphics and controls; very initiative. Would love for the first level to have no obstacles... ie. no way to die, so that gamers get used to the feel of the controls, sensitivity, the graphics etc. Fantastic game, and music really suits. We played it during the GitHub Game Off Live stream is you want to check it out: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1712466363.

Although I haven't finished all the levels, but the levels are challenging, controls and visual effects are really good, will continue to play the game when I got free, nice entry!

Good concept! Physics & controls feel very tight, level design is rock solid, congrats!

However even with all these qualities, it was quite a frustrating experience. For instance, you can't micro-correct your horizontal position when you don't have available the go-left or go-right move... so in multiple occasions, the micro-mistakes I normally correct in a classic platformer, i couldn't correct and it made the game flow very punishing. Maybe you could find workarounds for all these tiny cases?

Otherwise, great music, as I said the concept is very good! And it looks like it has a ton of levels which is impressive. Congrats!

The first jump seemed really strange, you couldnt get past it sometimes, and then sometimes it just worked.

Maybe you have some kind of variable jump height thing, but it doesnt work well at low framerates(eg browser)?

WOW! This is easily my favorite game of the jam! The idea is unique and fun and the level design is amazing. I love the addition of new mechanics over time that keep the levels fresh and fun. Plus the visual style and sounds are great. (Although the sounds got a bit crackly for me on the chase the boss level). Overall though, fantastic job 10/10

Really well done! From visuals and sound to gameplay all felt great!

I'm used to playing dificult platformes so levels didn't deel that dificult. Plus very quick respawn lets get back into action before any frustration kicks in :)

One of the best games I played so far, everything seems working good and the mechanics are ingenious

Looks super clean, feels extremely dynamic and responsive, and the "power offline" system is a really cool restraint. I could easily see some sadistic speedrunners completing this whole game in like 3 minutes, but I didn't manage to make it past level 6

arrrgh, I'm losing contol!! thanks, that was super fun and the game looks gorgeous

Nice visuals. Fun platformer with inverse power gaining dynamic

Submitted

Very well made game! I liked the idea to disable some of controls very much, this mechanics changes the situation on the level so much, and level design looks very thoughtful!

Hallo,

Thank you for sharing your game. I’ve already saved its RATING;

1. verified: GAME due to noticeable SPEED in EXECUTION; keyphrase: QUICK

2. notes: had at first opted NOT to verify due to NEON LIGHT effect, where: select brightness techniques cause EYE PAIN

3. observed: noticeable TIME used to PLAY GAME

4. remembers: select GAMES while PLAYING due to GAMEPLAY techniques; examples: Megaman X Street Fighter (PC), Front Mission: Gun Hazard (Super Family Computer)

5. observed: noticeable increase in DIFFICULTY, NOT as with select GAMES where it increases gradually

6. adds: shall PLAY AGAIN

Thank you. Health!

This game is so well made. Really good level design and trap design. It took me a very sad amount of time to get through that tricky spike jump on level one, but all the other levels design were so intense and captivating! The game infuriatingly makes you feel like some of the levels would be easy to beat, but when you go and try, the game embarrasses you:) It kept me coming back until I beat the entire thing. Plus, this is one of the most creative takes on the cliche theme! Great job!

(feel free to come check out my procedurally generated platformer if u have time:)
