Game Description
2D Platformer

How does your game tie into the theme?
You play as a fragment of the void that has managed to escape, the premise is that you have to try to escape the void by running away as fast as you can while it always slowly catches up to you.

I really like the concept of this - panicking every time I see the void coming and I miss the platforms. But very fun game, I just really struggled with the wall jumping - it took me a long time to get that right

Dude, it's like the best AAA game I have ever played. I should really up my phantom tax.

It was kinda fun, but the wall sticking was pretty awkward. You have to hold the wall's direction in order to jump off it and quickly switch to the other direction, but as soon as I leave the wall I lose momentum because I'm pointing towards the wall

There's a good start here, obviously there is a music missing, the character felt really nice !

The cut songs too !

And for the platformers movements i would recommend to try adding input buffers (like when we jump before touching ground, we jump again when we are on ground !)

I would love to know what you think about my game !

Good mechanics, good use of theme, but I couldn't get passed either of the second parts, the timing for the tunnel made it so I couldn't mess up even once and the higher pathway felt impossible. I really liked the animations though and the visual style was nice also. My only problem is with the timing of the void, if it were tuned down a little, I'm sure it would be a great experience.

Thank you for playing! i was worried about the difficulty maybe being a little bit too high lol

could you take a look at the downloads for this game? I got this error when trying to launch in the itch desktop client (windows)

it stripped the image I pasted. the error said:

"Error: Couldn't load project data at path ".". Is the .pck file missing?

If you've renamed the executable, the associated .pck file should also be renamed to match the executable's name (without the extension).

Developer

Hi, it should be fixed now. You have to download both the .exe and the .pck files for it to launch
