Well executed idea. Visual style was very similar to Celeste, which is one of my favorite games.

Thanks for playing! Sadly it looks like you hit the same bug as lots of other players, sorry about that.

Overall great game!

I got stuck here sadly, maybe a hitbox issue or because the speed became zero?

The collision bug claims another victim! Sorry about that. Fix coming as soon as the rating window is over! I hope you still enjoyed it.

Nice concept, impressed you put this together in such a short time. Didn't read the description beforehand, so unfortunately I did get stuck on the fifth level. Keep it up!

Ha ha! The resemblance is uncanny isn’t it. I didn’t even know that was the character sprite when I downloaded the asset pack!

This was actually a really good game. Your level design made this a lot more interesting than it originally seemed! Great job!

This is a cool platformer mechanic, but I also feel like the levels demanded a lot of precision from the player very early on. Good effort!

Good feedback! In retrospect I wish I’d added a few easier levels to start with. I fell for that classic trap of getting too good at the game while developing it.

The hover mechanic with the boxes was a lot of fun to control, and the levels were really well designed! The difficulty curve was fantastic, and I'd love to see more of them!! This was an awesome game. Good job!

Took me a second to grasp how the blue zones worked, but after I figured it out it was really great.  Nice work!
