I enjoyed this game, and completed all levels. I love the new element to a classic genre, which kept me hooked from start to finish. The simple mechanic works great, and with some clever level design and polish, this could be a good one.

I like that the checkpoint spawn time is almost zero. I like the splatter marks remaining after we die. I wish the camera movement was a little bit smoother, and that we could see more on the screen (the zoom is a little bit too high.)

It would be nice to have a cooldown or similar, preventing the player from teleporting several times in a row. Well done.

I really like where you were going with this! The teleporting mechanic was a really fresh take on a platformer for me and there were some really neat tricks/puzzles using it. The biggest downside for me was that it felt like the game ignored my jump inputs quite a lot which made the platforming a lot more frustrating than it would have been. The camera/overall game speed also feels way too high as it was hard to track my character a lot of the time. With a little more polish on those things though, and I think this game would be really incredible.

Hi!

Passed the game!

Quite innovative! I noticed that if you constantly jump and teleport, you can easily pass the level ;).

It would be nice to be able to mute/unmute the sound.

It was fun, congratulations!

The teleport ability was cleverly used in this little game. Very cool.

It' really fast at running and dying. The level was littered with my dead bodies as I try to pass using just the teleportation power.

Submitted

The gameplay mechanic is really interesting, I'd recommend to add some cooldown or delay on teleporting because I could beat the game just by holding "D" and spamming the teleport. Overall, nice entry.

Very polished and solid platformer. Clever take on the theme and really like the teleport mechanic. Well done!

This is a very solid platformer/puzzle game. The grafix and sound are excellent but the level design is what really makes it. The clues are in the visuals so minimum instructions makes perfect sense. Took me a few minutes to figure out how to get past the canyon. Unique take on the platform similar to “indie game: the movie” classics.

It took me ages to realize, that the teleportation target is that "ghost" :-) 
What a nice polished game, this is! Excellent graphics, music and gameplay 

Developer

that's awesome to hear.. thank you so much..

Neat concept with solid graphics that creates serious implications for how to approach platforming. I will remark I'm not a fan of the level with the wheel cutter, since it emphasizes the need for cutting edge reflexes with a player character whose ability you generally need to time right to use correctly. This leads to unfair deaths.

V COOL, I liked the unique teleport and the music was BOPPIN. Some small bugs like when u die like.. 20 times as u respawn on the saw, but other than that, good game :0

Developer

I caught that in development  but thought it was fun and hilarious so I left it in as a feature.. lol..

Cool game! Super creative game. I love the concept of teleportation and the animation in the game; especially how you handle the gory details lol.

Cool game, and mechanics i want to assume that the main idea is to calculate the timing of the teleportation to do it, so that any error has a consequence, and so that it can also be played only with a keyboard and such, but i think it would be better if it were only playing with a keyboard and mouse and with the mouse you select the place where you will go, (at least that was what i expected when being able to use the mouse in the menu) otherwise a good, fast and entertaining game

great game the idea is great and so is the implememtation gg 

Submitted

Cool game with an interesting core mechanic. I think it would of helped if there was a delay between deaths, so that if you died at your respawn point you don't rack up 10 deaths a second. Good game, would play again.

damn certainly a fun concept, i was absorbed in the gameplay until it had to end

Submitted

Flying cutter certainly was a pain to deal with - it killed me multiple times in the spawn point </3. Teleport needs a bit of a cooldown imho - otherwise you can just spam it and pretty much complete the level :D!
Other than that tho - really cool game! Nicely done!

Developer

oh no.. the flying saw was my favorite part.. lol

Submitted(+1)

I DIED 15 TIME IN LESS THEN 1 SECOND, no way that flying cutter is not chazing me total death 400+. GOOD GAME!! BTW

Developer

that's my favorite level.. lol
