How does your game fit the theme?
The game gets faster and your character becomes harder to control as the Madness gauge increases (whenever you are hit). You need to lose some control to get through most levels though.

Really cool! Love the involvement of the music. Good job!!!
This is such a cool concept! This is one of the few games I've seen that intentionally makes the player hard to control that does it in a way that's still fun to play. Great job!
Amazingly polished for a jam game. Really nice!
Level 12 is where it got too difficult for me to continue, but the game's got a really interesting premise. With better, more forgiving level design, as well as some polished visuals, this could be something really special.
I loved this one so much! I really love the idea! The music choice is also amazing! It is hard, but not too hard, and I really love the fact that at points you have to be hit by some music to complete the level! The effect around the mushrooms is also very nice! I didn't find any problems with the game. No glitches, no problems with it, nothing really! I just simply enjoyed it! Good job man, you really deserve to be in Mark's video!
Very challenging, but I’m sure with a bit of difficulty tuning this will turn out great! I would recommend decreasing the slipperiness of the controls, perhaps less so in mid-air, but much more so on the ground. Well done all around!
Loved the game. Too hard for me, will try to paly ti later
Really nice idea and great game. One of my favorites so far, even though it's pretty hard sometimes.
I really like the idea, well done. Game looks great as well!
Really loved the idea of the Character having more mobility the lower hp he has, it really gave me the decision of taking a hit or not.
Amazing Pixel Art and game feel, especially those mushrooms dancing to the music :D
Tough one - some of those jumps are really hard to make, and I often found myself *on* the exit, trying to get in... and dying D:!
But got to the end, in the end. Whew! Though I gotta say, I'd not have lasted more levels than that. The character is SO slippery!
Wow, congratulations on making it to the end, I don't think many people have managed that! We did mess up the difficulty curve, I think that's the game's biggest weakness. Thanks a lot for playing!
I fully admit some levels I only managed through dumb luck, like the one that starts with all the shrooms on the platforms so that you basically can't get up there with any shred of sanity. ^^
Really cool entry and game! Great work. Had a lot of fun playing it!
Really love the game, the audio was really nice! and the mechanics were just as good, I feel like this would be a really fun game to speedrun. Great work here!
I'd also really appreciate feedback on my game (Only if you want to) https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/695512
loved the game, music is awesome, one of my favourites
i hate this game
the title is very clever, the art is good, i love the way the animations flow with the music.
the main problem with this game is its level of difficulty and its platforming. if you gave me these same levels with any other platforming character, id be able to do it no problem. but with this guy, he's really slippery and its really hard to control him. this is due to the fact that course correction is not a thing and instead you have wildly going out of control, just in the opposite direction. its also because theres no variable height, jump forgiveness, or jump buffering. a lot of games can get away without jump forgiveness or jump buffering, but this game cant. at such high speeds, you need these features to give players a window of opportunity to jump off a platform. otherwise they only have a single frame or two to make the next jump. you cant expect your players to be able to pull that off. Also, not having variable jump height is a BIG SIN for platformers. It makes the character way harder to control.
also it has too many levels. actually, i only say that because its a game jam game and it is way too hard. it requires the player to remember 7 different jump heights and 7 different run speeds, and be able to switch between them at a moment's notice. this kind of thing could take weeks of fulltime training to do properly. no one has that kind of time to devote to a game jam game. thats why i think this game is too long.
anyway i think your execution is phenominal but the concept was not a good one. changing jump height is rarely a good idea in platformers, and ive only seen one in this entire game jam that pulls it off properly. i hope you dont ever make a full release of this game.
it is really fun, the music and the visual is very nice, i really love the part the more damage you take the more madness the game become lol.
Really fun and hectic. I honestly love how you just gain more speed for being in music and jump height, and how you need it to pass levels. A bit to hard a bit to fast though, as everyone else has said. Well done.
Same opinion to a lot of the below comments, difficulty ramps up too quickly in the stages. Consider trying to organize some less experienced gamers to help with play testing in the future so you're not only balancing for the top of the skill curve.
Liked the game idea, although controls can be a bit hard at times. Great visuals and music, Level design could do with a bit more work but for the time allowed the game turned out great. God job.
Really fun game! The idea behind it is a super cool interpretation of the prompt, and the feel is on point. It could use some playtesting for some of the later levels because they're way too hard, but of course that's hard to come by in a jam. I think it could benefit from having more open levels.
