The movement felt pretty nice, doing a charge jump is pretty unique for a platformer like this but I think it worked well - especially with the powerups. I wish there were some kind of checkpoints in the level as it was heart breaking to run out of time quite far into it because you didn't know which way to go on your first time.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":857458,"author_name":"zhelding","author_uid":"zhelding","epoch":1664898683,"text":"As others have mentioned, the download link for the 64-bit version seems to be broken, but I was able to play the 32-bit version!\n\nFun series of \"race-to-the-exit\" challenges. Maybe I just need to \"get good\" but I did think that the fifth button (? the first one using the speed boost) was a bit of a difficulty spike -- and it's a bit annoying to get reset to start on every failure; maybe some checkpointing would make the challenge more enjoyable.\n\nAlso would be nice if there were some indicator as to how much time is left until your powerup runs out!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":857714,"author_name":"Arsvarg","author_uid":"arsvarg","epoch":1664900036,"text":"I like level design and gameplay!

Failing a jump or ducking a bit too late usually means failing the \"level\", and thus having to start over from the beginning. Also, the fact that you cannot see the whole level makes it difficult to pass them on the first attempt. \nHere are some solutions I can think of:\n- When passing the door, pausing the game during 3 seconds and zooming out. That would allow the player to already figure out the solution instead of having to discover the level and figuring the solution at the same time.\n- Having some doors be checkpoints, so that you don't have to start over again and again.\n\nThe animation of the character is pretty well done. The ducking visuals could have been a bit more different than the standing one. The music worked pretty well, and I loved the nice little melodiy changing to the fast-paced one!\n\nGood job ;)\n\n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":885755,"author_name":"EtherianX","author_uid":"etherianx","epoch":1665514487,"text":"Nice game !
