VERY good player control feel... I mean, sure it's a bit too hard to go up for me at times and it's not so nice, but it still works mostly. But combined with the great skateboard sounds it's just awesome. Great art (one example is the extra speed motion lines), and sense of puzzle, and meaningfulness that comes from trying to evade the dark monster. Although I don't quite like it how you can't do much anything at that point when it's coming... it's still something nicely unnerving and you have time to prepare for it emotionally, so it's not just arbitrary dying.

Really well done! Great visuals, bumping sound track. It feels like there's a lot of room for skill expression which is neat, tho I found it difficult to get a hang of the controls/momentum. Sometimes when I tried to go up ramps I'd collide instead of moving up the wall which was unfortunate. There were also a few times where the ghost was chasing me (out of light) and I managed to dodge him and hit a light switch but nothing happened. I would've felt really cool saving myself in those moments but it seems like once you're out of time you might as well give up.

Overall I loved it. The time + ghost pressure had me sweating and the mechanics made moving around super fun.

This game is a jack of all trades! Great mechanics, art style, music, and good use of theme and limitation. If a couple of collision issues were fixed, this could definitely be expanded into something more!

I love this, while I did find quite a few bugs, the art totally made up for it.

Amazing music and Art Style, the controls took me a minute to understand but the minute I got them the game became SO FUN.

This game deserves to win! I went the first 2 levels deathless and then finished with a time of (19:00:02) haha, I was dashing when I should've just focused on jumping instead. Perfect balance of difficulty (maybe let the player hit the light switch if the light runs out but they get to it in time). Art, intro, music, controls though all amazing easy 5/5!

The controls are amazing and incredibly tight, the only issue I came across was hitting corners and jamming into them sometimes. art style and music are great as well.

Love the intro, the whole game feels like something on the sega genesis. It feels great to control and the sfx for the skateboard are really satisfying. I was struggling with some of the jumps on shorter platforms, maybe some coyote time would help a little? Really cool anyway!

I really like the art style and color palette; the visual effects make this game very satisfying. The core game concept is cool, and I like the idea of using a skateboard instead of a standard platformer. Music fit the mood of the game well, and the sound effects overall were satisfying. One thing I had an issue with was the wall riding and bouncing wasn't as responsive as I would have liked, but everything else felt good. Good job!

This game looks and feels really cool! The monster is terrifying, the music adds to the tense but exciting atmosphere, and the ramp effect of the walls is really interesting. Well done!
