Suuuuper aesthetic game, love the music and how it changes when you get the triangle. I found the reloading at checkpoint controls a little jarring, as I'd often be holding a direction when I died, and expected to keep going in that direction when I reloaded. Other than that, really neat take on the theme, very well executed, great job!

Nice entry! It's a neat concept, and the minimalist graphics and sound work well for it. The trailing arrows are a really nice visual effect.

I agree with the above comment that it would be nice to have the keys be a little more consistent when respawning. You could also afford to add some "juice" like particle or camera effects(Google *The Art of Screenshake* for an amazing game design talk).

Well done for 48 hours!

Nice clean minimalistic style, I appreciate that. Very simple and just the right length, well done. My only feedback is that you seem to have to re-press the arrows when you die instead of holding them down when you are about to be out of time.

I really liked the sound, the pacing is great, and it's a clever idea. The only thing I wished it did was maintain your input after each loop, it was kind of jarring when I'd be holding A and S (for example) but the movement stopped. Nice job!

Really cool look to this game. I was having a problem where I kept resetting and didn't see how I could possibly bring the triangle back in time without using the checkpoints and without getting hit. I'm afraid I was missing something.

Excellent game! The aesthetics are on point, and I love the detail of the music change after picking up a triangle. I would only say the same as @listonos about the re-pressing of the buttons after dying.

Nice cute game, great simple art style, I think this game has some potential if you continue working on it.

neat game, the mechanics were simple and fun and the music really compliments the relaxing mood. My one complaint would be the screeching sound effect which played every time i died which was really annoying.

Short and sweet. I liked this one. The only bad thing is the controls seemed a little bit weird somehow, like they didn't respond right away when I respawned. The mood is really good; I liked the music and minimal art style. The color changing on the trails was cool too. Good job!
