Great platformer! Maybe I didn't complete that one level most didn't complete, but I enjoyed the platforming and the way you handled your mechanics. It was a good experience.

Theme
Yes
This game follows the theme "Escaping fate".
Message from the creator(s):
Implemented through the countdown timer in each level. The idea started as "I don't have enough time for [insert a deadline related thing]" and then I realized that we're essentially fated to inevitably run out time. Just as like a general sense. Real deep and philosophical I know.
So then I was like "Why don't I add a timer to the game." That way, by completing the level before the timer runs out, you're essentially escaping your "fate of running out of time". Also once I saw the irony of adding the timer given the game mechanics I thought it was even better.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking, It definitely sounded cooler in the planning phase then it does right now.
You would be completely right.

I think that's a good idea, I'll add a link to like a walkthrough for the last level since it seems like that ones the biggest issue

Sure, could you elaborate further what you mean? Like, you want me to put the .exe in a zip file first?

like, you're using game maker right? There's 2 options when you click it, you packed it as installer, but for smaller games i think zip is better since it's easier to install

Oh right, I've been doing it as a .exe for so long I actually forgot that as an option. Thanks a bunch!
