You are falling. You will die. But when?

This game uses a simple dodge mechanic. Avoid obstacles and stay alive as long as possible.

Power-ups can be used either to temporarily slow time or to give you extra protection against obstacles.

Have fun!

1552 was my best score, but I think it was too easy, I decided to end the run as opposed to actually making mistakes. As a general piece of advice, make hitboxes smaller than the image for the objects. That way you never run the risk of the player feeling like they took a hit when they shouldn't've. Plus, it makes for some clutch moments of joy when you sneak past an obstacle.

Well, the gameplay isn't anything new or sophisticated, but the game is pretty well polished. I like the hand-drawn style with the parallax paper background and the effects when dying (particles colliding with platforms are cool). User interface is slick. Maybe you could try flipping the player sprite when he's heading to the right. And I agree that the game is a bit too easy, maybe you could make slowing down time less and less effective or something. Overall, pretty good job.

Nice little game!
The UI was really good, and the sylized graphics looked slick.
As others have mentioned, the hitboxes felt a bit rigid and led to the occasional unsatisying collision.
But overall, a pleasant game loop with a solid application of the theme. Great work!

I love the drawn art style. The gameplay is simple and fun, but I would have liked a bit more content. Overall a pretty good jam game.
