Great game! Aside from minimalist graphics, I think you also proved that game feel can have a great impact on a game. I never like to speedrun games, but this game's feel made me want to do it.

One of my favourite games of the jam! I remember seeing some of it in the work in progress section of the btp discord!

Really love the minimalistic art style of the game as it gives the game a really clean look. The gameplay is also really clean, with the way the player character moves being very tight and responsive, overall feeling very refined. The small number of mechanics that you have developed for the game are utilised very well and lends well to players finding ways to lessen their time by utilising the mechanics in the best way possible. The timer is also a good incentive to get people to continue playing so that adds replayability which is good.

While I understand the adherence to the theme being the minimal aesthetic of the game, I don't it's a very creative use of the them but please don't take that to be a bad thing, I just think there could've been other ways you could have adhered to the theme. It could be argued that since you have a small number of mechanics, the fact they are utilised in multiple ways to create interesting platforming rather than introducing a lot of redundant features, could show less is more so there's that. Because of that, I felt I would mark down adherence to theme to 4 stars but as for the rest, 5 stars :)

It's overall a really simple but very refined platformer that I really enjoyed playing. If you end up developing it further, I looked forward to seeing where you take it as I think it could make for a very good speedrunning platformer. Great work!

It's really cool to have a speedrunner game in this game jam! And indeed, you can make a fun game with less! Really good job on this and the level design!

Thank you very much! :D

This game just makes me want to speedrun it so much.  The controls are tight, the level design is superb and the introduction of every new mechanic is awesome.  Some Feedback:

  • MORE LEVELS!! The game is awesome, if you hadn't told me it was 30 rooms I honestly would have thought it was 10.  Just another level to go through with the controls and difficulty curve.
  • The mindset behind the way you approached the graphics is awesome, I personally always enjoy mechanics and gameplay way more than graphics so it was great to play through this game.
  • One slight improvement I might mention is it feels as though the player is a little hard to control is some of the more precise areas.  It's just slight but specifically I had some trouble with the room where you're scaling an area with platforms and spikes.  Maybe adding a slight acceleration when you start moving to make it easier to have small precise movements on presses could help?  Just more of a personal preference though so take it with a grain of salt.

Seriously though, I'd play through another level of this if you could make it, in the meantime I'm definitely playing through this a ton though.

Thank you very much for the awesome feedback, my friend! I really appreciate all of these points you've covered and will definitely take it into consideration if I work on the game further! Thanks again, this means the world! :D

man! what a game! the platformer controls are excellent, super polished, the jumps feel awesome! adn the death -restart cycle is fast enough to not disapoint the player, excellent game really!

the level design is great, the game is designed around speedrun, but without a problem can be a game like supermeat boy or cat mario

here is my score, it was the first playtrough ....i feel like a noob for not completing it under 3 mins.


Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for the kind words! :D

Thanks again, I'll be sure to consider that if I make something like this again!

And haha, no worries, it's not the easiest game :P

A study in digital minimalism nicely done! The feel of the game is amazing! Really great piece of work.

My only problem is that the sound effects were a bit too loud..

Developer

Sorry about that, and thank you for picking up on it! :D

Amazing game, i got a new world record which i posted in the discord, which is a sub 2 mins :) i spent a long time on this game, its so addictive but also there is a thing about a jump i really disliked which is that you don't get a double jump if you dont jump before that, aka if you walk of the edge, your double jump just dissapears, very fk'in annoying, also there is a glitch where you just die randomly... the video of that glitch is posted on the discord.

Developer

Thank you very much for writing this all out! I'm glad you liked it and sorry for those glitches, haha! :D
