Pretty solid submission. Music gets repetitive, but the sound effects are nice, and the graphics are simple but cute and have style. I like what you did with the lighting. The game works fine for me, the controls are good. Kinda hardcore and difficult, but I've managed to make it to the end.

Yes! Someone actually managed to finish the game! Thank you

Music and pixelart was good but the movement was a bit weird. You wrote in your comment that you had fixed it but I don't feel that way. Sometimes I press W 3 times and nothing happens. I am sorry but the controls made me quit the game before I was finished.

The music and art was awesome in the game, but  I couldn't get too far. What are the controls? i got to jump on things, but I dont know what to do after i stick to the wall.

Developer

This is a problem I'm really unsure how to fix. On my computer, the game works fine, but I noticed that when other people play it on their devices, that the player moves considerably slower than intended. It may have to do with my bad laptop, but I really don't know how to change it. With the wall, you're meant to jump off it to get higher, which is done by holding the W key and jumping off the wall. I thought this might have been easier to figure out than it turns out to be.

On my game i have a simliar problem I think it could be the use of the Update loop. Perhabs. 

I couldn't get over the first "spikepit" ... but nice game, super music!

Developer

I've updated the game so now you should be able to get further in the game. Turns out it was because I was using Update, and for rigidbodies you should instead use FixedUpdate. You should be able to complete the game now!

Developer

I've now found the problem and updated the game, so you should now be able to move the intended speed and get around easier.

I can't jump now. I'll press the w maybe 30 times and then it'll let me jump.

Your game doesn't work for me. when running the executable, windows directly throws an error.

Developer

what error does it throw?
