Really liked the game, the art and all the mechanics were pretty great. Nice job overall.

Developer

Thank for playing, glad you enjoyed it!

I liked not dying in stupid ways, nice idea!

The boost might have been better as a separate button.

Thanks, our team was talking about that just the other day XD

This was great.. I tried for quite a while but couldn't survive to the end! I also didn't notice much effect from the right arrow. Nice submission. :)

Developer

Thanks!

I love the auto WASD to Arrow key remapping! Great idea!

Also, thank you for not having places I can fall to my death... I hate that mechanic in platformers.

I feel the same way about death falls XD

This was a fun one but I had a hard time with it. For critique, I didn't notice the effect of the speed boost at all, it felt like it made it slower to be honest. I also would have liked a reset button. Great job otherwise!

Developer

Thanks for playing and the input!

Great art and sound design here. I enjoyed playing this and trying to find the best route.

A very literal interpretation of the theme. ;) I like the unconventional resolution. I was a bit confused by the fact that I'm running away from a black hole and also have a timer? And I had problems to get into a flow. But other than that it's a cool and solid entry! :)

Developer

Thanks :).  The timer was supposed to give you an idea of when the blackhole would overtake the wormhole.  It wasn't completely implemented :(

loved the character. Game could use some addittional mechanics, like a  speed boost. Nice game!

Developer

There is! Hold left and right  (or a & d) while on the ground..

I had fun playing it!

The art aesthetics is dope and music really nice. I would like to play a more complex version that engages better the player, its a nice game.

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the feedback.
