Very nice, fast game. The controls feels really good. I'd like an easy mode for slow geezers like me :-) Too bad you didn't have to to add the black sludge.

Developer

Thanks :), and I'll be sure to take into account old geezers in the future. :)

Cool game, here's a suggestion:

Maybe add a wrap-around effect to the edges of the screen when the player gets near an edge?

Anyways, great game. Felt very responsive.

Thanks :)

The controls are great! double jump is actually a thing. although not quite sure what "thing" its running away from. overall fun game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks , the thing you are running away from was meant to be black sludge but I ran out of time to write the shader for it so its just a black square.

cool game + i actually would like to recommend addition of some usage of coins to make further run easier  and the scoring system calculated by  how high could the player reach (ik it just a 3h game jam but its a recommendation if u are thinking about updating it ) + thx for this cool game 

Developer

Thank you so much , I am also genuinely so annoyed at myself right now for not thinking of that sooner(the scoring system based off height and coins making the running easier), thank you again for the comment and I will make sure that I take your comment into account if I ever make this style of game in the future. :)

fun and very hard good for 3 hrs  going through the edge of the screen making you go to the opposite side and more holes in the platforms would make it more fun

Developer

Thanks , I'll be sure to take that into account if I ever make something like this again in the future

Nice game , i like the controls on the character , very responsive .
How the levels are design i feel like when you go through the edge of the screen left or right ,you should end up at the opposite side .
The game is bit hard , but it really cool for three hours .

Developer

Thank you very much, regarding the point you made about the how the character showing up on the other side of the screen when they go past the edge , I completely agree and will make sure to implement that if I ever make the same style game in the future.
