Really cool game! This is exactly the genre I love and the theme is a very good idea. Also, it is not too hard or too easy. The controls work really well (even if I had to get used to jumping with W instead of the spacebar). Also, you polished the game very well. E.g. I really appreciated the invincability after I took a hit or after using my power. The art, music and sound effects are all very good! I got around 25000 points.

Thank you so much for playing. The score is really good too! I still have some ways to go with mapping controls, and this feedback is surely appreciated, thank you again!

It's a banger, I got a score of 64248 ! The game feel is very well done, it's enjoyable and difficuty curve is at the perfect spot. I could really feel that you either played your game a lot or got nice feed back to balance it. The only thing that it takes to enjoy the game to it's full potential is understanding that the jump should be hold for a long time to jump higher, at my first two runs I did not understand that and felt that the platform were unreachable, but when I understood ... BANGER !

Developer

That's a very impressive score! Great job! Even higher than my best

Thank you so much for the feedback and we're fixing some unclarified stuff for the next planned update. Cheers!

Great game and I loved the art style!

I really enjoyed it, but also have some advice on how it could be improved:

I wish you could pass through platforms if you're already holding S while landing, instead of having to time the button press, and while I like the variable jump height based on how long you hold W, it can make the double jump a bit inconsistent. If there were 2 set jump heights - one for tap and one for hold - it would be easier to know how high you're going to jump each time.

Finally, this is purely visual, but it would be really neat if you defeated enemies you run through while your powerup is active, the same way as shooting them.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback and the suggestions! They came in handy while we're working on an update.

Many thanks for playing!

Really liked this game, and i respect the time and effort placed into it. I created a infinite scroller once and the hardest aspect is getting the obstacles just right so the player always has a way to skillfully navigate them. It was not done perfectly in this game but it was definitely done well. Great work, 4 stars for enjoyment and 5 stars for theme implementation.
