As a big fan of ghost runner, neon white, and mirror edge, I must say I really like this game, the movement is fluid, the entire vibes are so cool, and there have lots of parkour shortcuts!

Not really sure how can you perfect the movement system in under 48 hours, but you did it with flying colors.

And, I like the twist of Roll Reverse in the end. Will try to finish all levels in under a minute as a challenge when I'm free, for now, here is my time!

Just thinking give it one more try before I move on, and... wow, that was fast.

This speaks loud how consistent and good your movement system is. Once you get it, you can truly get it. I would like to see this made into a full flesh parkour game if possible.

Oh wow, those are some nice times!

I'm not sure if we'll be able to turn this into a full game (even thought a lot of us were really hyped about  trying to do exactly that), as we have just started working on a larger long-term project. But we have been and will continue to work towards releasing a postjam version of the game in the coming weeks.
Glad you enjoyed it this much =)

Flow; Nice game , verry fun game good feel of the movement simple but solid , runs smooth , the simple pure level and art style work well for the game too.  On point level design as well works well with the character movement; CCongrets !!!!

Really satisfying gameplay! Reminds of Ghost Runner. Also really well cool level designs. Well done for a 48hr project!

Feel free to hop into my game as well, and share your rating and comments if you have the time!

im a pro gamer. beat this first try.

This is pretty great; while the tie in to the theme is tenuous it made for a hilarious joke upon beating that first level. Well done.

Really great sense of momentum in this game, I love that there are multiple routes at some points in the levels. It took me a little while to realise that wall running was based on mouse look rather than just when you join the wall, but once I got the hang of that I replayed a few levels because its fun to try and get a good time. I did not expect that interpretation of the theme but hey it works and its funny! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the game =)

It would probably have been helpful if we had included some explanation on how the wall-running works in the game, as a few people seem to trip over that on their first attempts. Definitely something to look at for a postjam version.

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to look at the vod again in the future here it is timestamped to your game 


Played it a bit more after the stream and beat the dev time for tutorial


Developer(+1)

Amazing time!
I think the best time that we know of is 08:47 right now, but it's definitely up there and quite a bit better than my personal best.

And thanks for the timestamp, much appreciated =)

best game ever, no competition

Developer

Haha, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it :)

That's my favorite so far! Literal interpretation of the theme and irony of a toilet roll along with a dynamic runner gameplay is a masterpiece 👌🏼

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted(+1)

I'm so glad I managed to beat it! The last level was my favorite. As soon as I figured out wall running, I was unstoppable.

Developer

The stream was so much fun! Thanks for playing =)

A really polished and nicely presented game,  but man am I bad at fps parkour.
Hat's of for the "cat's owner" thing!

Submitted(+1)

Really cool idea, a bit buggy but apart from that its really polished :D

Developer

Thanks!
There is definitly a bit of jam jank, but we hope we'll be able to clean that up a bit with a post jam build :)

Very nice game! A lot of enjoyment even tough I'm terrible at it xD

Gameplay is simple and easy to get, good level of difficulty on the levels even tough it wasn't always clear where to go and the music is awesome and feels good with the action.

Considering the 48 hours, it is very impressive, well done!

Developer

Thanks!

48 hours definitely meant skipping on an hour or two of sleep, but it was worth it =)

I love this ! Speedrun strats, let's go.... Roles go OUT for crying out loud. Also the cheeky menu option to allow you to pick the "correct way" is hilarious. Well done, the music is indeed "slapping", everything is smooth, well done ! Especially impressive considering the time limit. Everything felt fair, if I fell down, it was because of my epic speedrunning skills being too much for the game to handle, not the mechanics :D Thank you for submitting this to my stream on twitch !

Developer

Your stream was a ton of fun!
Thanks for playing the game, glad you enjoyed it =)

Pretty nice game! definitely gave me an adrenaline rush. Could use a bit more polish, to make it more obvious why the character slows done when they do, but I could easily see this becoming a full game :-) I mean it is a jam game and I spent more than an hour in it xD

My best times so far are: 8.57; 17.55 and 39.38

Sub 40 hype for the  Golden Heights time :D

Funny interpretation of the theme, it made me laugh every time.

The game is also very satisfying and fun to play, the difficulty is perfect and the soundtrack is fire. Well done!

Beat it! That was a really enjoyable speed running game and the whole "rolls reversed" gag caught me off guard and gave me a chuckle

Submitted(+1)

Submitted(+1)

The game has a solid base for 48h game, it's 3d and nice, well done! and I managed to get 01:23:56 on the last level it's not that good but it gets the job done! can you also play my game please so that I can get feedbacks !
