None, but I ate a lot of donuts.

Pretty fun platformer, but I think that the millisecond timer thingy is considered as random, because you really can't control it.
The music is great. Obviously the art style has some room to improve. In my opinion taking the number of milliseconds is basically same as taking a random number. There are a few problems with the gameplay. Taking the shrinking box sometimes causes player to get through the platforms when falling too quickly. Player can get stuck to the sides of platforms. Vertical moving platforms cause the player to jitter causing the jump to not trigger sometimes.
Thanks for the feedback! Those bugs are definitely things I need to work on. I also feel like there might be a better way to implement moving platforms as a whole.
