Nice game! I like the fact that it's made of "modules" which assemble together in a random fashion depending on the seed. The control feels nice and is quite addictive too. 

I was wondering whether the jump key should be 'up' or maybe another key. Maybe in the keyboard is no big deal, but in the case the player's using a controller, binding the jump key to one of the action buttons might work better. In my case I love using the numeric keypad instead of the arrow keys for some strange reason, but it wasn't supported here.

I wonder whether it was intended, but the player loses air control upon hitting a wall or disengaging from a wall jump (i.e. sliding down the wall, once you're off it you won't be able to move either left or right mid-air, as would otherwise be possible for example after jumping off a ledge). This makes dealing with some sections trickier as you must carefully avoid hitting a wall if you don't want to fall straight down into the lava after that.

There's a pit I feel into that didn't kill me; the character went off-screen and I had to refresh the page to restart.

I didn't find any parts where the 'slide' mechanic (pressing 'down' before landing) was actually useful - I died most times I used it. It's a cool idea though; I was thinking there could be low corridors that require rolling to get through. Maybe this rolling could also be activated from a standstill by pressing the right keys.

I was thinking there could be alternate kinds of jump, just like in the game 'Hurdler' by KNPMASTER and MasterRaichu - long jump, short jump, and so on (maybe with different jump keys assigned?)

Overall, awesome game with great potential! Will make sure to keep tabs on this one.

Thanks for the great post! I'll try answer all sections!

The chosen keys to move around is temporary. I would want to give the option to rebind keys to the player. Even play with  a controller at some point.

The fall from sliding a wall is something that just is right now(not intended). Im not sure what to do about it really. Jumping from a wall is intended that the player loose control. But it doesnt work the way i want it to yet. What i dont want is for the player to walljump back to the same wall and grab the wall on higher point than previous walljump.

the pit you fell into is just a few tiles i forgot to place down. its fixed already.

Right now the slide is just a time saver really. Since your final score is reduced by 10% of the time spent on the run. But im doing some changes to the slide and changing some maps so its actually useful in more ways. But right now its only useful to save time, since more time = less final score. Maybe instead of a roll its just a dash that can be used mid-air. idk yet.

I also want to have different jump heights, just havent figured out  a good way of doing it yet. It might be very easy lol but ye. Its coming. Holding jump will take you to a max height, but releasing the jump before the max will make you go down again.

Thanks for the post and for testing the game! <3
