Good music/sound design pretty good controls, but not very clear win conditions if there any so it's not so fun at the end

I think you did a good job with the starting scenes. I don't know if the floor was suppose to start going down once it hit the top but nice job!

I didnt know you could wall jump for a bit, because the sprite didnt change. Got to the top then I quit, cause I saw it all :3

I like the symbolism of the hourglass, and I think the idea behind the game is really cool. I wish his sprite changed to reflect his deteriorating condition. I really like the music too, but I feel like I'm only hearing the beginning of the song on loop. If the beat dropped or the melody really started then it would go so hard. I got to 300 seconds before I stopped playing because I didn't think anything new was going to happen.
Also, Godot FTW!
