20 attempts, around 2 Minutes (the game says that) and a LOT of fun. Took me a while to figure out, that the lava coming from the left does not kill me instantly. With that insight, it was possible to beat the levels, which where great. Good balance of speed, altough it was maybe a biiiiit quick (I mean the player movement). What i really liked was the fact, that the score moved the camera and provided checkpoints. Nice idea.

But overall: Great job. congratulations and thank you for providing this experience!

The game is very hard. I think that at the score 13 should have a check point, I am a bit stuck

This game has a polished, fast-paced presentation and felt good to play. I really appreciated the graphics, built-in tutorial at the start, and the pretty solid use of the limitation of score advancing through the levels.

 I think the difficulty curve was a little too high for me personally. I got to score 13 and then couldn't manage to jump between the lava on the floor and ceiling. A dash mechanic would allow such designs more easily, but I understand not wanting to play too much into existing platformer tropes. Either way, great job for a one person team!

great game! I like the clean graphics and responsive controls, the mechanics are straightforward and easy to understand, but a challenge to master. This has good replay value , overall I enjoyed playing! keep it up!

I think I'm too old for this game. I managed to keep going without moving the camera very much, then got sent to a checkpoint to the left of the camera and got stuck.

Fun game and good mechanics! Loved the music and the sound + all of the visual candy like the screen shake which really made this feel like a well made game. I did however accidentally walk too far to the right on score 4 and got soft locked since the wall went over the point before i had the time to get it which made it impossible to progress but otherwise it was a fun and well made game!

66.1 seconds first try not bad I would say =D


The Best thing is the quick restart transition which is very convenient in games where you die every 5 seconds.

Neat game. Very enjoyable.

I tried downloading it but my computer said "virus detected" and it didn't let me proceed.

Developer

Sorry to hear that, can you disable your firewall and try again? It is not a virus but anti-virus programs detect it as a virus.
