Very funny. I get stuck in some part, it would be great if the coins respawn after some time
Cool take on Sonic the Hedgehog type mechanics, controls felt very smooth, but it was hard to get going, one mistake and the coins are gone so you can't proceed.
Got a Rank B on my first time through, but had to stop because unfortunately my controller didn’t seem to be picked up by the game and the keyboard controls hurt too much. I think this would have worked better with the gem-dash being mapped to the jump button. It feels a lot like a sonic game. You might want to lean into that more, with multiple paths that are faster/slower and maybe more or less rewarding depending on skill level!
oh no it should work with controller its just it uses the d pad because i didnt know how to do joystick controls
my main controller doesn’t have a joystick (it’s an 8BitDo M30), but i tried all three kinds that I have here on two different browsers before giving up and trying the keyboard
I really like the level design! Had a lot of fun playing :)
At first it was difficult understand what to do but cute concept
Unique mechanics with simple controls but a really high skill ceiling. Took quite a few tries to get through the level, but I loved the music and the lil frog! I agree that maybe respawning the coins could make the balance easier but executing the dash and jumps made gameplay very rewarding.
This was really fun and speedy! Once I got a hang of the lightspeed dash I was really zooming which felt incredibly fun. Great job.
Sonic-esque. Very fun, fast, made literally clap my hands together.

Very well done, it's really satisfying to play.
Solid polished experience, especially for a game made in 3 days.
Once I understood the dash mechanic this game was very fun! I really enjoyed the start of the level, where you fly through the level with the coins and make some jumps in between! 5/5 on enjoyment from me! :D
Well done!
Pretty awesome.
Fairly solid controls (although, took me a few goes to “get” the dash mechanic). Although I think maybe the gems/balloons could regenerate with time as it’s quite easy to get stuck!
Really enjoyed this one! The fast pace and branching level makes many restarts fun. Only managed to get rank C ;-;
