My highscore was 11. Inversed controls are so brutal.
My first try, the first platform moved slowly to the left and no other platform arrived :(
The other times it worked better! And damn was it difficult at times, especially when the keyboard got reverted, impossible for me. But it was a fun game, albeit too difficult for me :D I like the variety of the effects (both gameplay and visual), and the sound was neatly done too.
Thanks for playing, glad you had fun!
In hindsight we probably did make this game a bit too hard, we'll make an easier one next time!
I had fun and the best I got was 10, but the controls/char controller stopped me from playing more.
Namely
To be fair, If the controls were tighter I would probably still be playing.
Also, the layout is a bit to RNG dependent. The start (before the player can jump on the fist platform) can take up to 8s and the text icons were quite far away from the player to check them mid-play.
Hi, I'm glad you had fun, and I'm sorry to hear that the controls didn't meet your expectations. Figuring out the platform physics ended up being much harder than we expected, so we had to make some compromises to finish on time (e.g. the icy platforms were the last effect we had to implement, so they're far from perfect).
Thanks again for playing, and we promise to improve next time!
Sorry if I sounded like a dick. I do mean well.
Making a solid controller is def no easy feat and I still haven't done so in bevy.
This twitter thread from the maker of Celeste is def worth a read (thought some stuff is pretty advanced).

And this is pretty cool too.
No worries, constructive feedback is mandatory for growth and improvement :)
The thread you sent has some amazing advice! I will definitely revisit this in my next platformer.
This is really fun! All the mechanics works together beautifully and though it is hard to get started once you do it’s so enjoyable! I couldn’t do more than 10 ahaha, you can keep your record!
Thank you! So glad you had fun playing!
Fun game! It took me a couple tries to get the hang of it but once I did I really liked the fast-paced challenges! I only got to 12 so your record is safe… for now ;)
Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it!
