A really polished entry and a fun game- nice work all the way around. It made me keep playing to uncover the secrets, and the gameplay was very intuitive and responsive and I consider myself a klutz with action gaming. I think your entry checks all the boxes. Bravo!
Great work, kinda remind me sonic games. As a Unity dev, I would love to make game in Construct myself someday.
good fun to play, easy to learn but hard to master, really nice to replay as you develop knowledge of the course. well done for getting the wildcards into the game as well!
100% one of my favourite games from the jam. Super adicting and very fast paced - not only because you're running fast but because the progression is nice a zippy too!
Art-style, music, gameplay, everything comes together in a satisfying way. Incredible job.
My PB is 2:29. Guess I'm the greatest there ever was? 🤷
Greatly thought out game, the Cheat Mode with the level design are brilliant, I really liked how everything is implemented, from the very first seconds gameplay is addictive. I managed to pass in 3:13. It amazes me that this game is made alone. Thanks for the game
This was really cool. It felt like a blend of sonic and mega-man kindof. Kinda got mega-man vibes from the character but sonic vibes from the level design and movement. Love being able to grind on rails that’s always cool and getting up to speed felt good too. Enemy auto-targeting felt really good and allowed me to easily maintain my speed.
A highly enjoyable fast-paced platformer! It immediately puts you in a state of flow, and once I realized there were branching paths and hidden passages, it became even more fun to replay. A delightful experience overall, with special praise for the background music—it fits perfectly!
the bass kicks in
There are nice little pockets of fun secrets in here! It's interestnig how you can run it multiple times and find a new secret. Well done!
Neat little game. Impressed by how much variety and little hidden areas you crammed into such a small space. Cool that you reward exploration and finding the secret areas too. The game ticks the Theme Interpretation box very well.
I like the very bold and opinionated Art Style and Music choices. Adds to the games uniqueness.
The fastest time I got was around 6.65 (possibly 6.55?) seconds. It involved lots of button mashing.
Nice submission. Good job!
Really fun! A good base idea and a great execution, and it's cool to see how the optional themes have inspired you!
Love this game, 5.54 is my time 😭
This is probably one of the most fun ones i've played so far really well done!
