Cool puzzle platformer. Had a bit of trouble passing the first spikes which I usually pass down to me being old and not very good at games but looks like I wasn't the only one 😅

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing my game! Yeah I didn't realize that that section would be that hard for people, I'm not that good playing with a keyboard which is why I included controller support

this is probably one of the best submissions in my opinion. the fast-paced movement gets you really hooked right off the bat. the music is incredible, and it's overall very enjoyable. good job!

Hey, thanks for checking out my game! I'm glad you enjoyed the movement and especially the music, I'm not that good when it comes to making music

Nice and solid game, the first spikes were a tedious. Still a nice and solid platformer. Glad you could participated! ;)

Solid platformer, but as everyone is mentioning, those first spikes are brutal which is a shame because they will gatekeep many players from proceeding what is an awesome game, I think making the platform above the spikes slightly bigger can fix that problem.

Hey thanks for playing my game! Yeah I really didn't expect the first spikes to be as big of a problem s they are for most players. The intended way is to wall jump after sliding down but definitely will fix later. Also you can play any level in the level selection in the main menu so if a level is too hard you can just skip it

Submitted

The level select screen is definitely a nice touch

This was pretty challenging but I really liked the shapes theme. One suggestion would be that sometimes the colors would change to pretty similar/low contrast colors and it was a little hard to see, so from an accessibility standpoint it'd be good to make sure it's always higher in contrast if possible. Nice submission!

Developer

Hi, Thanks for playing my game! Yeah when I was testing the color changing I noticed that problem so in the settings menu I added the option if you wanted the colors to be black and white or white and black. Will definitely make it choose brighter colors later

I've spent like 7 minutes on the first spikes. When I finally past them I've spent 10 minutes on the keeping speed mechanic

Developer

Aww man, didn't mean to make it that difficult. Sorry about that!

Submitted

That's fine, the game is cool! I was just writing it, being a bit frustrated :D

Love the idea, but I suck in this game and can't get past the spikes!

Developer

Thanks for checking out my game! I had controller support implemented but it seems like it doesn't register some buttons when pressed
