Didn't expect a late reply haha! Glad to hear you found all secret coins!

Btw, there is a secret in the first room to unlock a secondary difficulty :>

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nice platformer and cool use of the limitation. I liked how you made ‘being stuck on a changed brick’ a legitimate technique :) Although interesting reading there were secrets, I missed maybe all of them… back I go!

Developer

Try searching for fake walls :)

A very nice and simple way of using the limitation, but the platforming is extremely precise and frustrating, especially when you have to jump under a low ceiling. I think I got killed by the same spike 30 times before giving up :')

Really great game, with a good presentation and fun to be had. It's probably a pretty basic use of the limitation, but it is used very well, and the game turned out great.

I wish there was a couple more checkpoints in the lava section. Nice game. I missed 4 coins, 885 seconds, 170 deaths lol.

nice pico 8 game! The shifting blocs is well executed, with simple sounds and colorful visuals to make it extra clear. Difficulty was too much for me though 🩻 Still got 8 coins!

Really great and addictive game ! I struggled a bit at the difficulty/timing but it has good level design and gameplay overall. Great work !

Very nice all around! I did struggle at the difficulty, but I appreciated the frequent save points. Spent a lot of time playing this one :D

Hey the first game i have ever played on the pico-8 nice :D The checkpoints are mostly very forgiving but the game is still very hard. Unfortunately I am very bad at games like that and had to give up after 8 coins, 1200 seconds, and 319 deaths xD Even though it is just a single bass instrument, it still creates a nice vibe with the different pitches, really cool idea.

Very nice game! The levels are very well done, and the gameplay is very fun, good job!

Love this game! Took me 22 minutes 300 deaths and I only got 13/16 coins. I did find one secret room on level 8, but it didn't seem to lead anywhere. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Now that you have beaten the game, you might wanna know that there is a secret game mode that you can activate by finding a hidden area somewhere early into the game.

The secret you found on level 8 might have another entrance in another level a little earlier 👀

very cool! Managed to get through that version a bit quicker, but I think I'm still missing one coin in somewhere. There is one point where you can get under the lava, but I didn't see  what to do with that. Couldn't do it anywhere else so doesn't seem like a bug :P

Developer

wait, where can you get inside the lava? that's not intentional

Submitted

On the 4th screen, there is one tile of non-animated lava under the blue block that you can go through

Developer

ohh thanks for pointing that out, i just misplaced that one tile my bad

Really hard, I wasn’t able to finish the game. XDD But the rhythm is quiet on point, listen to the beat can help a little.
