Challenging is certainly the word! I didnt get far but I loved the concept and execution. I liked how the hazards were presented in a spaced out manner, then the difficulty increased. Very good game

- Immediately nails the theme and style, with it being both relevant to the level design, world design and gameplay mechanics. Continues to develop the mechanics and difficulty with minimal instruction right up to the "end" which then unlocks genuinely challenging levels and a speedrun mode. Top shelf.
- this is a STRONG contender! i really genuinely enjoyed my time playing hosehead, i even went for some of the challenge levels, despite having 1400 submissions to view, absolutely stellar, you should absolutely expand this concept, and make this a full release, id pay money for it! a couple upgrades or new mechanics to expand it once we get used to it, different environments and bosses. for real, you've got gold here.

Thanks so much for playing! There's actually a speedrun mode in level select if you want to save your times :D
