Too hard for me, couldn't go through that fast moving platforms

Good game, I liked the music. It did take me around a dozen tries to get past the moving platforms though.

I played the post-jam version first, so I'll say I was sold before I played the harder jam version. Great scores all around, especially for audio and mood! Would have given an extra star for fun if easy mode made it in for the jam. ;) Really well done all around!

@zatch and renegadeninjanl: thanks!
it was the first time I tried to do level design like this and I guess I did the same mistake as everyone does in the beginning: make it too hard...

The controls were very difficult to understand at first for me. Probably not because they are so difficult, but because they reacted with a severe lag...

The moving platforms need to be slower!

@gebirgsbaerbel: it's not a lag, it is a rhythm game. did you turn on the music?

Pretty hard but I really liked the rhythm-based platformer mechanics.

Gosh that is hard... even the post-jam easy version. Very creative however and fantastic music. Apparently I'm just to bad :/
