Love the gameplay, the visuals and the atmosphere. Like someone said on the comments before, a scoring sytem or timer would fit perfectly and it would encourage people to play the game more. Nice one!

Developer

Hello! thank you for your feedback it looks like a lot of people agree with the timer or scoring system which we would definitely like to add in the future

Good job, I like the concept of movement, and the art is fantastic. Due to my own mistake, I fell a couple of times, haha, so it felt a bit long for me. Maybe placing the quicktime events earlier could help. Very good job, congratulations!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it! to add more Quick time events is something we would probably do later on along with a timer so just check the page every so often to see if we have developed it since

I made it to the end. :)

A simple scoring system with a timer would probably make this game much more game-y with minimal effort. It looks like there is more than one route at times, so players can be motivated to try out different ones to see how it affects their rating. Sometimes it felt that I managed to find an unintended route by running up instead of running to the right, so maybe some paths can contain extra coins for more score.

Hey im glad to see your comment, it really helps as we wanted to add a timer so that there was some speedrun type of element for replayability but some issues came up before upload that we had to fix. Maybe we will add it in the future!

I really liked the visual style. Also, the gameplay was addictive, I was stuck for a while. This is a really interesting idea that can be developed.

Developer

thanks dude it means a lot! Hopefully we can develop this more later on and maybe put it for mobile phones

This was a really cool 2D mirror's edge! Really loved the graphics, color palette and animations, the dystopian city in the background. The music was pretty great too, especially when it accelerates within the vents. Loved the fact that you could go through multiple paths. There was not a ton of pressure for me to go fast so I ended up taking my time, but maybe that's something that could add a bit of spice to the game :) Great job overall!

Developer

yeah we were thinking of spicing it up with enemies but we just didn't have the time to add them in, we were thinking of making this a bit of a speedrunning type game so i'm glad you've said to spice it up a bit since we wanted to make it a bit harder originally too

This was a really nice game! I liked the aesthetic, I will say that I maybe needed a little bit of a challenge here. I see that you wanted to do quick time events with like typing keys quickly, so maybe add more of that like adding enemies that if you touch you have to do a quick time event to dodge their attacks/etc. Overall was nice to flip around on the walls though!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, we both appreciate it.  We were originally going to have 3 levels to do where there would have been an increase in difficulty with the plaforming and QTE's but we had to change to 1 level, we were definitely create more of a challenging level and we were thinking about enemies but I thought it wouldn't have suited the game so i'm glad you've said it would be a good addition!

The character had an ability of scale, but isn't funny to use because it is only pressing a button to automatically run in the wall.
