This concept is nice, but very challenge! Haha

I'd like to see a sound that become faster as you got faster too. Would be nice!

Nice entry!

This is cool!  So, so fast for me though.  That poor dwarf!  I loved your game description, haha.  Great work with the puzzles, scope, and the color limitations - this all fit the genre perfectly, IMO.   This was really good! :)

Pain... So much pain... I died so many times )))

That is an interesting concept for a platformer. Speed boost is really an unexpected and scary effect :)

super fun loved the game! couldn't get past level 2 admitantly...but still had fun!

wish there was some audio, that would have really wrapped the project up nicely

Nice idea on increasing speed by turning, it makes some interesting puzzles. I think some of the timing on jumps was a bit unforgiving, but with a bit of tweaking this could be really nice. The color is pretty too.

Really awesome spin on classic platforming! I can't say I've ever seen it done this way. One thing I noticed was if you repeatedly change directions you repeatedly gain speed! Would be interesting to mess around with speedrunning this. Good job! Having fun messing around w this!
