Lol I really wanted to play a racing game :P Well done, the controls feel pretty tight and the lies are done well. I do wish the vertical camera follow speed was increased - when falling you can't tell where you will land because the character is at the bottom of the screen very quickly..

Good game though :)

Love the aesthetic! I usually get frustrated at this type of game but the double jump helps a lot and gives you a way out when the game tries to trick you. I wish the camera showed further in front of the player, I ended up taking it very slowly, apart from that it was quite fun. Good job!

Art in the game is real cool !!! Also the gameplay was good !!! Great work  !! Rated!

The art is consistent and pretty well done in general. The animations are a little lacking, particularly on the protagonist. For instance, jumps have no animation that I can tell. The only incoherent bit of art is the PFX on the double jump. The particle texture chosen doesn't match the toony look of the rest of the game.

The game design is about memorising which doors lead to death and trying the other ones.

The capsule collider on the character causes him to be slippery near platform edges. This makes the platforming less enjoyable. There is no grace jump or modular jump height either. A generally pretty poor feeling character controller. The level design masks this decently, as platforms are frequently easy to reach with single or double jumps, which is a good idea, because this platformer is primarily focused on puzzles, not action.

The dialogue in the game sticks to the theme, but the ruse becomes old quickly. It's one thing to lie, it's quite another to do it to the point where it's impossible to distinguish deception from sarcasm. I ignored all the text bubbles pretty much from the off.

The game sells itself as a racing game, which it isn't. I would have much preferred to see a racing game within the theme. Obviously this was done on purpose, but, while it makes sense with the theme, I didn't really enjoy experiencing this.

Overall an alright entry. Once played, there is nothing to go back to though.

I'm a race bird here, so I was expecting a race game..... Until I remembered the theme of the jam was "THE GAME IS A LIAR."

So I got pretty disappointed. Good job, you've done good.

Aaaaaaaaaanyway, Really nice entry! Reminded me of those rage games I played years ago. I like where the exit of the final level is.... definitely made me face palm myself. Though, there might be too many in my opinion. Some people just don't want to search for too long before they actually quit.

Still, great entry you've got there!

If you've got some time to spare, come check out my game and rate it! It has 7 different endings! Worth checking out!

This was fun but platforming was a bit weird. I enjoyed it though!

Good art and graphics :)

This game is pretty fun but can be on the verge of annoying. The platforming feels really nice but having to search for the right exit left me feeling a bit unrewarded when i finally found it. Apart from that the music is amazing and visuals are quite stunning. The only other issue i had was occasionally foreground pillars would obstruct the view of a platform which would be a bit annoying when trying to pull off certain platforming sections. Overall nice game! :)

Really polished!

Congrats on making the game! If you have some time, could you check out my game as well?

At first, the game is really raging and a little boring. After that, it was fun!

Played through your racing game. It was a little annyoing at the start because everything killed you and then I was a little stuck. Your game does not tell the player that he can use double jump. Or at least I did not see it.

But yeah, after that it was nice to play. I just followed the rule "Don't touch anything" and hopefully choose the right exit. I have to say that choosing the right exit was nothing I enjoyed, because you have no idea if you would end up playing again or if you were lucky.

I think that it's over after it starts again with level 1, right? Because that's the point I stopped playing.

Would love if you find the time to rate our game. We also went for a 2D platformer, but our levels are a little longer :D
