Fun game. Good job making it.
Pretty fun. I think you should add checkpoints tho.
Thanks :)
Yeah a few people have asked for checkpoints I will look into adding them when the mini jam voting is over.
Really fun platformer! I played it yesterday too and I think the addition of coyote time makes it feel way better. The character kinda feels like they're teleported forward a tiny bit when you start moving cuz the sprite is longer, idk if I'm explaining it well.. but I think it'd be good to offset that a bit. Awesome job on this though! My time was 42 seconds.
42 seconds is the fastest I heard about yet! My record is only 50 seconds haha. I know exactly what you mean with the sprite I think I might have misaligned something there and my head kinda got used to it so I forgot to check it when I was ready to submit the game :D
Thank you for playing and for your comment! :)
Really enjoyed playing this, was really fun and just the right amount of challenging that made me want to finish it. Got a time of 51 seconds lol
Thank you :)
I wasn't quite sure about the difficulty since it's such a short game and just one level
super fun- nice work!
Thanks! :)
Really nice platformer! The controls and gravity all felt really nice to play and I definitely felt the benefit of the coyote time in my playthrough.
Although this might defeat the purpose of the timer here, I did feel like checkpoints would have been nice! Didn't feel so great to restart at the beginning.
But I did manage to get to the end after a couple attempts!! It'd be nice to have the game timer pop up in the "You Win" screen as well, but I did manage to snap a screenshot right before so I got my speedrun on record! :)
Congrats on your first itchio game!
Thanks a lot for the comment :)
I did consider adding checkpoints but I wasn't sure about it since it would have made the game even shorter than it already is haha. I do want to update the game after the voting period of the game jam is over and the high score win screen is the first thing on my list!
Its fun, but it would GREATLY benefit from implementing coyote-time https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJOpkFIEwCA
Agreed and done! Thank you for the feedback! :)
