Nice idea! I kept accidentally pressing dash too many times and having my computer ask me if I want to turn sticky keys on haha. Was fun, liked punching walls and finding shelter.

I think the controls are a bit clunky and the ending was abrupt, but overall a good game with a good idea!

Love the idea. Punching stuffs is really fun. Love the Tyrone's look, he is a cool guy.

The controls were definitely the weak part of the game. Pro tip I've learned: Make the player's gravity higher on the way down. The wall jump got in the way a lot of the time when jumping over a tall wall since I would stick to the wall. The punch felt sluggish since it stops you when you use it. Though since there's no combat, it feels fine.

The every-ten-seconds thing added to the atmosphere and keeps the player better focused. Whatever you do, you have to make sure you're back in time.

Overall, it was nice and short. But I would try to improve on the feel of controlling the player.

Great entry! The character control was a bit frustrating at times (getting stuck on walls, not jumping when you expect, etc), but given the short time frame its pretty good! Keep on making games :smile:

It took me a few seconds to move at first and so I wasn't close enough to the rock to take shelter when the timer ran out. And the meteors scared me so much haha. But the game looks great, and overall its a nice entry, good job!
