After LDJam?
I decided to continue to develop the game after the jam, it will still be avaliable at the same link and the jam version (1.0.0) will still be avaliable.

I'm working on a easier version of the game, like an 1.1.0 version.

Also, you should probably get rid of the "mood" category.
Make the first part of the level a straight path so you can get a running start. I noticed sometimes I would get unlucky with getting a gap right in front of me at start.
Make the countdown less, like half of what it is.
Otherwise, no problems! I liked it a lot.

alexis-cheron: I've got you fam.

The main problem is that it's super frustrating mainly due to the timer at the beginning. When you die after four seconds three times in a row it's really annoying to have to wait 6 seconds to even get another go. (Especially because you have to wait one or two seconds after you die to hit the restart button...)
I found that jumping wasn't actually very useful, because it's so hard to actually land on a platform, and even if you do land on a platform, you almost always fall off immediately after you land because it's hard to get oriented.
I also would like to be able to change the difficulty without restarting the game, to see what some of the other difficulties are like.
As it were, I'm not even sure if a difficulty of 6 is possible, as I only got to 27 meters running basically straight.
