Even just the beginning was quite difficult. But it's a neet idea for a platformer, alsways needing more time to live. Nice!

I'm not good at this kind of platformer and the precision required by the 3 second timer did not help with that. Cool concept, liked the artstyle and the song, but the movement felt a little too floaty and if you miss a jump or move even a little too slowly, you're screwed. I'll take beating level 1 as an accomplishment. Good game, but not for me.
The game is really cool, I really liked the feeling of the movement and the simplistic sound effects sounded awesome with the game! The levels are pretty interesting too! Overall, really nice game!
I really liked this game, the controls are simple and effective, it reminds me a lot of Super Meat Boy, but I had to give up on stage 4 because I have too much pain in the hand because of dying in loop so fast, the timer forces us to speed run the game whereas you have to be pixel perfect, good job but the game is really tough
I hate these wall jumps but I really like the game. Srsly it would be one of my best precision platformers in this gamejam if I wouldn't have to switch from left to right with my controls every time I change direction when wall jumping (+ maybe smaller collision boxes on spikes).
Good job! Playing it was fun, I appreciate "the plot" and ending :)
Great game. No bugs, levels are nice and the background music is good. The only issues I saw are that there is no camera following the player and the controls feel kind of slow. Even if the idea isn't very creative, I had fun playing. Also, I did notice that you tried to make Sonic The Hedgehog like tiles. I'd recommend try to make them more unique. Anyways, good job!
Very cool game, I enjoyed quite a lot playing it, keep up the great work
Very cool precision platformer with simple, easy to grasp mechanics. Smooth controls, calming audio (which comes handy after the 27th restart of a level :), the gampeplay scratches the Meatboy/N++ itch well.
Nicely done!
The main mechanic was a great tie in with the jam's theme, the levels were tough but quick so dying wasn't as bad, both of the endings were nice, my only complaints that level 3 has an annoying bug tht makes you start off with a dash often leading to dying again and the lack of any sound or music. otherwise it was pretty good!
movement and systems are good, jus the browser limits the framerate to the point it is unplayable. But.. Good game!
I like it. The movement takes some getting used to, and there is one bug, but apart from that I think this is a good game. Great job!
Nice game! It was a bit hard at first to get hang of the controls. But once you do, it's very fun to play. The timer in my opinion drains down a bit too quickly. Overall a really solid game.
Very good game I will say. Perhaps a tad difficult, could have maybe done with some play testing and maybe either moving pellets closer or increasing the timer by slowing down the count, though I suppose that's cheating death hah.
I do certainly feel acomplished after playing, albeit my wrists now hurt.
