Unsteady by guimoliveira
Another weird platform game for my collection. :laughing:
As usual, I didn't use any engine/framework/library, just JavaScript.
The physics is kind of weird and there are some bugs, but it's still better than I expected.

Try to get to the end as quickly as possible and put your name on the leaderboard.
You can restart from the first level by pressing [R]
Good luck! :slight_smile:

I especially like the movement mechanics needed to solve the later levels... It was a nice "ah ah!" moment when I found the solution.
Good job on your entry.
The collision was a bit funky on walls, and the game was pretty tough, but overall a fantastic idea and wonderful execution I enjoyed playing it and after I got the hang of it, it was pretty entertaining. Epic submission!
replayable with the speedrunning element and I'd say the mechanics are almost completely nailed down, if you tweak them a bit more I'd say you'd have a great base of mechanics for a full game. lots of levels with creative solutions, level 7 specifically was fantastic. I expected it to be a typical "shoot and have the bullet bounce off the wall" so when I realized the real solution it was a great moment. One of my favorite entries so far.
Sometimes there's a bug when you flip from the bottom up, but the controls haven't changed yet and you're going in a direction you don't want to go. Also when you just picked up a weapon, but for some reason it doesn't fire at the same moment, but fires at another moment at the same time.

**0:39.75** and **0:40.76**. Great times! I am very happy to see that you liked my game, and had fun playing it.
Strangely, I liked being defeated this time. Thank you for beating my record. :laughing:
However, I will try to regain first place later. I think 35 seconds is possible. :smile:
Removed some repeated entries to show more names in the leaderboard. ~~I hope you don't mind.~~
@ghostofsheriff About the bugs... The first one is on purpose, I can't explain very well, but it's necessary. When you flip it, if you release the key and press it again it will switch directions. The second one I don't know what could be, it never happened to me. Thanks for letting me know anyway. I will try to fix it in the future. :slight_smile:

I can't believe that a time of 35 seconds is possible. I think 37 seconds is what I can achieve, not 35.. But I want to see it.
I'm very impressed that this was made in just javascript that's a very cool way to make a game :D
