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

Thank you very much for the nice comment!

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

Developer

Thank you very much, I appreciate 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

The controls feel sooooooo good. Requested Feature- Wall Jumping

Developer

Hehe, thanks heaps! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I did experiment with some wall-jumping, and maybe I'll put it in another game of mine! Thank you! :D

Developer

Hehe, thank you for the feedback! :D

great job buddy. I loved it. So simple yet so clean and polished. You already have my scores :) 

Developer(+1)

Thanks heaps, man! I really appreciate the response! :D

Submitted(+1)

no worries. The controls were so tight it was a please to play. I've used your game as an example in other comments to people who have made simple platformers with lesser controls just show them what is possible. 

Developer(+1)

Aww wowww thank you! I feel so honoured, haha! Thanks heaps, I really do appreciate it! Hope you're doing well! :D

Nice game althought I do not agree with the interpertetion at all. We just got less in a good way we haven't got anything more. What I mean is that low res pixelart can be interperted as something the designer never thought of, but a cube will remain a cube forever.

Here and my screenshot.

ooh, that’s just barely faster than my best time (mine is 3:56)

Thank you for the comment, it's really helpful to think about! :D

As always, a wonderful game! If you want, please rate my game.

Developer

Thank you for the nice words, and yep, I will! :D

Fascinating!

- Well, the art is minimalistic, but fancy. Love those little particles a lot, it makes my eyes sparkle
- Sound and music - mmmmmmmmeditative (absolutely like)
- Game design - fabulous. I really like how the game explains how 2 play without even explaining. It lets you fool around each time when it gives you a new mechanic (obstacle), but few rooms later it becomes a real challenge for you.
- Another feature - it's re-playable. It suits for casual gamers like me, but also for rage ones, who love to compete, so they can compare their time results - cool!

- Hm, I'm not 100% agreed with "less is more" theme, tho I must say it's a creative way to follow this theme. Anyway, you got my 5 stars :3

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for this incredible feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed playing the game (even if it didn't 100% fit with the theme xD)

Thank you so much for leaving these great details and comments, it really does go a long way! Thank you heaps for playing! :D
