This is best games in days I played. Character is awesome, controls are amazing, because, some may think after walljump you need to change direction, but after this thing is always behind you, it would slow most of players down, but you left it like it is suposed to be, in this kind of game, and I salute you. I beat your game, 4-5 levels after that I got black screen, I guess it is end. And I just can say: Amazing job!

Developer

Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm happy you enjoyed it.

After 4-5 levels you are at the end, but normally there is not only a black screen. You should het a "thanks screen"

 I will check this.

From the first moment in action. Addictive and great game! :)

Take a look at my game too, if you have time. Thanks

Submitted

Fun, and a really tough game. I couldn't finish it. For how punishing the difficulty is, the start up animation takes a while - I spent more time Reading READY, GO than running from the monster!

Submitted

Cool concept and really challenging. Great overall! 

Submitted

Interesting sidescrolling platformer

Pros, decent art and music, cool concept with monster following your exact path, levels are well put together

Cons: movement is pretty janky and a tad hard to control for how fast and precise you have to be, there's no death condition for falling off the map which I find particularly strange since there's death conditions for the spikes, maybe you just forgot to add it? I also would have liked to see more sound design.

Overall cool little platformer, gives me endless runner vibes even though it's not one lol

Developer

Thx for your feedback

Yes, you are right, I missed to add death condition when you fall at certain places. Will be fixed in next update :)

And I will try to rework the control. there is some cases where the wall jump is not working correctly.

was fun and stressful to run away from that creature! great job

Submitted

Geraet one. :)  Congrats on submitting! All the best.

Developer

Thank you for testing :)

Submitted

I like that you can trick the spirit by going in circles.

Developer

Yes, I didn't want to follow the player directly, it would have been too hard

Submitted

Damn that was fun! Got pretty tense at times when it almost got me, the movement was super smooth, great work!

I’d appriciate it if you could check out ours too!

Developer

Thx, I did it

Submitted

feels very fluid to play, thats always appreciated from a platformer, i like how the wall jump was implemented, it felt intuitive and the game looks consistent, well done!

Developer

Thx for your feedback. I'm happy you liked it

Submitted

Pretty cool concept :)

Reminds me a lot of Celeste's chasing scene :)

Developer

Thank you

Great job! Would love to see an expanded version after the jam.

Submitted

I jumped and fell into an empty space, you should fix that after the jam period. Despite of that good game :)

Developer

thank you for the feedback. 

Do you have some precision on where this happend ?

Submitted

This game is pretty hard! I like the idea of this as a difficult platformer, very unforgiving but for the right audience they would probably really enjoy something like this. My only complaint is I thought the wall jump felt a little weird at times but aside from that I enjoyed my time with it

Developer

Thank you.

You are right, I need to rework the wall jump and the difficulty.

I'm thinking on some mechanics to block/slow down the shadow for a little time.

Submitted

I'll be honest, I didn't make it very far before the shadow caught up to me! He's so fast... But it's very fun and exciting that way, feeling like you can't make even a single misstep. Good job!

Developer

Thx for feedback. Yes, mistake is punished vey quickly.

Maybe I need rework a little this part to have the shadow less close to the player.

Keep it up. Great work.

Developer

Thx

Submitted

This is very action-packed. I don't know what or why the red spirit is chasing me - but I must run!

Developer

thx and keep running :D
