Good game

Submitted

Definitely felt like a rage game at times with the unconventional controls and how far you could fall if you made a mistake. I couldn't clear it because of the timer. Love the art and music though!

Submitted

Creative controlls for the character. Cool game man👍

Submitted

Really fun and interesting game, the movement was super unique and fun to use, got a bit frustrating at times as I found myself trying to instantly put out the fire when I landed on a small platform, just to have it not turn off and for me to fall off. I don't think its a design flaw, just something I'd need to get used to as a player. Outstanding visuals, great level design and amazing mechanics!

thanks for the feedback! Definetly a design a flaw dont worry, we will be improving this with a buffering timer

Submitted

fun game plz rate mine too

Submitted

Very nice game, good job! Also try my game please:))

Submitted

Fun game, well played

Submitted

Fun and different game. I loved it, keep it up!

Submitted

Really unique movement mechanics that integrate the theme very well! The jump controls are a really unique idea but I seem to lack the skill to use them consistently. Might be too hard for me, but I enjoyed it. Solid entry!

I think this is better than jump king :). Honestly, the best level design i have seen in any of the jams I participated. 
But here is a few things you must do to make the game not feel unfair(hard doesn't mean unfair). AD button should have a buffer timing(if you don't know what it is look it up), also there should be a coyote jump or the boxcast for the ground should be a little wider.  You should definitely remove that timer, it is impossible for a  normal player to finish it in that time frame. I have tried for 3 times(30 minutes) and I was able to reach the level after the moving spikewalls and the level with a lot of platforms on the air.
I don't think anyone would be able to finish this since it is a jam, but if it was on steam, this would be a great addition to the rage games(as i said i think it is better than jump king).
I would like to see polymars suffer, so I am definitely giving full ratings for this. Amazing work!

Developer

Thanks! Really appreciate the kind words and the feedback!
We were already discussing on implementing buffer timings(for A,D and SHIFT) so it will definetly be implemented in the future, coyote jump we felt it would be unnecessary as time slows down when you are jumping. The timer is definetly controversial lol, i wonder how many people would be on the leaderboard if time didnt run out. Will definetly remove it later

good game

Submitted

Both the music and the graphics are great! I like that the game slowed down when you choose jump direction. One suggestion is that the mouse can be anywhere on the screen when choosing trajectory. Either way, it's fun that you can bounce on walls. The game might be difficult, but the controls are excellent. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! More people mentioned this so it is definetly on the plans to implement this

Submitted

Great game! Loved bouncing the little dude off the walls.

Submitted

The controls are pretty fun to learn not gonna lie, Good job doing the visuals and the music by the way it looks Great!!

Submitted

Cool game! The movement is very unique and fun once you get used to it, and the visuals are gorgeous. Just great overall

Developer(+1)

Developer

Thank you!No need to feel sad. it was made to be very hard

Submitted

Great game

Developer

thank you!

Oh man having to click the player to jump even when they go off screen can be so difficult in the window, I would really make it so that you can click anywhere on screen, I beat the game with 7 seconds left and the experience made me actually shake from trying to focus so hard.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, we discussed this issue but because the arrow spawned from the player we thought it would be more intuitive to click the player, but maybe it just makes the game a lot harder, will definetly improve on this

Submitted

Great Game ! Very Unique Idea with good mechanics and nice art style!

Developer

Thank you! glad you enjoyed it

Submitted

Really cool game!

Smoetimes I cant jump don't know why.

Good concept and art!

Developer

thanks! To jump you needed to be on fire, when you are stationary you can’t jump. We had a whole idea of representing this with a weapon ( it needed to have energy from the fire to shoot you up) but we didn’t have time
