Super cute and fun game. I don't have a screenshot :(, but I died like 95 times in like 30 minutes, so I think everyone else is just built different
My first attempt was about 2 minutes, which is surprisingly good! Unfortunately, I didn't take a screenshot of it.
that was unbelievably entertaining :D
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it!
I'm planning on putting out some more stuff in the future, so stay tuned for more platformers! Thanks for the follow!
is there a prize
Holy shit no way
Omg
The prize is in your dms
Very nice game. Finished in 6 minutes, though I didn't explore the entire map. Was so confused for the first minute what I was supposed to do.
Lmao some people get stuck there. They don't expect a platformer with no jump and assume it's broken. Thank you for playing!!!
Very fun! Seriously, for a short game it's very well polished and feels fair with a little light challenge. First attempt was about 5 minutes with 21 deaths, second was a couple minutes with 1 death, and the special challenge was 2 and a half minutes with 10.
Wow, 5 minutes for your first attempt is really good. Most people get about 15 minutes. Great job for grtting the special challenge! 2 minutes is fantastic. I really appreciate you discovering more about the game! Thank you so much for playing!
Such a polished game xD
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
What a nice little game! Beautiful ambience and music! I finished in 10 minutes...with 47 deaths...😅
That's pretty good! Most people get about 15 minutes or more on their first try. Go for the secret diamonds if you're feeling adventurous! Thank you for playing; I'm glad you liked it!
Is there any meaning in the gem colors?
Yeah! They're the same color as the powerups you get. Red is for jump, Yellow is for slide, and green is for double jump. Thanks for playing!!!
Very very cute and satisfying
YaYYYY thank you!
Excellent game! novel approach to a platformer, just the right amount of increasing difficulty
Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it!
i'm actually so washed i can't get under 1 minute grrr grrr the world is cruel
great game tho ^_^
YAAAAY thank you
Try again tomorrow you'll get there
Can I have a gold star sticker
HOly shit
Check your dms
WTF; you never went down there, never got double jump?
How do you even human, man? :O
okay, jsut tried, it aint actually that difficult, you jsut die pretty easily from the damn character facing the wrong direction when running or running into spikes.
Platforming king strikes again
I am the platforming peasant
This game is so sweet
Thank you Boomie
