Holy crap that was great! loved the soundtrack
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the soundtrack! :D
Very fun, polished game! Sound effects would be nice.
Thanks for playing! And you were absolutely right about the sound effects, I added them in the latest update! I also added a second level. If you have some time, I'd love to hear what you think :D
Wow! The second level is amazing! Also, the sound effects are absolutely perfect for this game! Did you make the soundtrack yourself? This is a complete game now!
Thank you so much! I'm really happy you enjoyed the second level!
I didn't make the soundtrack myself, the audio comes from royalty-free assets. Everything else was made by me.
I'm glad it feels like a complete game now, that's great to hear!
I enjoyed this game; it had a fun unstable mechanic to it. However, it can benefit from a possible bar meter representing how long you held the spacebar for. Moreover, it should include some sound effects especially when charging up and jumping. Otherwise, it is a perfect cozy game!!
Thank you for the feedback! I ended up adding sound effects and a few other improvements in the latest update. I also added a second level! Thanks for helping me improve the game :D
That was really fun! Controls and checkpoint placement were perfect and it felt very rewarding to progress especially toward the end with the double narrow spikes and the final challenge. Super nice!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the controls and checkpoint placement. I just released an update with a second level, so if you have some time, I'd love for you to give it a try!
Challenging but quite entertaining—a really good game!
Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the challenge :D
Very hard game :D
Haha, thanks for playing! I just uploaded an update that improves the character controls. Let me know if it makes the gameplay experience better. Thanks for the feedback! :D
It was a good move to minimize the death aspect. It's much better now.
