Nice look and feel for the platformer.  Got all 4 achievements.  Last one was funny as I got curious with your instructions.  I collected the soul one and then tried to make it back without dying... made it through the rocks but then I couldnt make it our the other side, lol.

Just music/sfx would have made a big improvement

Fun little side scrolling platformer. I got a couple of the endings. May have to come back and find the rest we I have a little time. Seems like some of them are off the beaten path, which is pretty great

Submitted

Good stuff! I got three of the achievements: Standard, Hidden, and Soul, but couldn't find the last one! I enjoyed playing it, though it would benefit a lot from even some simple sounds and music.

Developer

Thank you, yeah I know but didn't had time to put it in.

cool game. player movement and animation was smooth. jumping was also satisfying. wen cant jump that high in most of platformers. thnaks for the game

Submitted

A beautiful game. The character control is great. And it's fun that the character is so fast.

The theme is super integrated into the game concept. I have almost nothing to complain about.
The only thing that doesn't feel great to me is jumping into space without knowing where the next platform is. But that's part of your concept.
Great work.

Well, that was a last-minute change :-D its nice and pain at the same time 

Submitted

Very nice low poly style!

Submitted

The game is made very well. The controls feel good. The character is responsive and the animations are great. The puzzle is fun. I had an issue where I had two characters on the screen at once not sure if that was the way it was supposed to be or a glitch. It felt like a glitch because one character kept running off the screen and dying. Over all it is good game and pretty fun. Great Job.

thanks for your feedback.👍😁
in some rare conditions i had 2 character but i didnt find out why :-/

I thought the 3d models were very cool. Nice polygonal designs. Simple short game. I did try to get all 4 achievements but I could only get 2. I was trying to get the one where you turn into a ghost but the platforming was too difficult after the 23rd attempt. I gave up :(. It was difficult to jump on one of the red platform jumps because you can't see where you were landing. But it was pretty cool. I liked the little hidden secrets! :)

Great game! Loved the way you've worked the theme.

I liked a lot the aesthetics! Just missed some sound and music, but nothing that gets in the way. 

Submitted

Nice game and it was very fun to play. It took me embarrassingly long to find the soul goal but I got there in the end :) Your player controller also felt very polished. Well done

Developer

Good job! Yeah i invested a lot of time into the controller.

Submitted

This is a solidly put together game. It would be good to have included some music and sounds, but the gameplay is good for your first game.

Developer

Thank you. Yeah music/sound is still on my notes :-)

Submitted

Sadly it seems my browser doesn't support webgl2, so I couldn't run it.
But based on what I can see in the screenshots, it looks ABSOLUTELY amazing!
I love the art style and think it has a lot of potenitial!

Please consider also rating and reviewing my game when you have a moment to spare.
I would love the feedback and opportunity to grow.

Submitted

I was trying it out on chrome.
If it will run on firefox or another browser I'll gladly download it and give it another try :)

Developer (1 edit)

your on MAC? It should work now i had to remake some penels :-(

Submitted

I don't seem to be able to get your game to run, the buttons are completely unresponsive for me, but I can see others have managed to play, I'll check back again later it looks really cool!

Developer

did you play it in fullscreen? if so try not to :-) i heard the play button is not clickable when in full screen :-/

Submitted

Just tried it on my PC and managed to get it to run! Very good looking game, I love the visual style! Great work! Rated accordingly!

Submitted

really cool! I love that low poly look.

A fun runner game! Reminds me of the trex on google chrome lol. I love the visuals too! 
Very satisfying when you clear a hurdle ^w^

Submitted

Nice runner! Though i did not understand what to do when i reached standard goal.

Developer

Search for the other Goals, there are 4 :-P

Submitted(+1)

Good Fun! I need to practice a bit more to get the flow but it keeps me wanting to play more!

Fun little runner! I have no idea what the controls do with Ctrl + ??. but my browser really doesn't like me pressing Ctrl with random buttons lol

Hi NorthernGamer93 
My Bad, 
its actually "Left Shift" and a hidden Key. The Key can be found in the source or this may help: It refers to a  samurai l suicide ritual.

I am not sure what happend when I reach the standar goal, but was fun
