Project Q-PidCongrats on finishing your game! It looks like there's a lot of content here, well done.
This is a neat take on the theme, turning the platforming into a sort of race/timed even and adding a nice bit of pressure. However, I think the game overall is a little bit unforgiving. As other comments have mentioned, wall-jumping isn't quite intuitive. It's in a good place for a game jam, but it probably needed a bit more time for refinement. The biggest hurdle here is visibility. The camera could be a bit more zoomed out to give players a better chance to plan and react. And the spikes should really stand out more. Anything that results in an instant loss for the player should be easily readable at a glance. Making them yellow like your water/acid pits would be perfect. And likewise - making your jump-pads a different color than the yellow that you've already taught your players is bad might help.
Still, this is a great little game for a jam. Very impressive, especially considering you're so young! If you keep making games and keep practicing, you're going to learn a ton and make some really cool games. Keep making games!

Passed & PresentWall jumping is really hard, and spikes are not very noticeable, but the idea is good and the game is fun

Ghost HoverCool game! The concept of escaping from yourself is cool, but wall jumping is too hard!

Team'in DownCute game! It took me a long time to figure out how to wall jump correctly, haha. I will say I couldn't discern the spikes from the regular ground very well, it might've done you good to make them a different color or something. Over all, fun!

Passed & PresentReally cool! Nice graphics and nice sound. I love the fact, that I run away from myself :D but please make the player last longer. If I hit something I´m instantly dead, that´s a little hard, I think.

You´re not aloneThe spikes are not visible enough for somebody to see. It quite affects the gameplay. But overall its average.
