Cool artstyle and interesting controls
Really liked the creativity on this one, and top presentation!
very cool game! I got stuck on the level with the 4 platforms where the fire guys are going in a circle.
Same here
ended up on the lower right corner of the lower right block - character can only change direction here, not move or jump.
Comfy little game, no complaints
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars...
I finally Beat it Hell yeah Great Game
You should add Github link and license to the metadata of game.
"Edit game->metadata->Release Info->License for code"
"Edit game->metadata->External links->Source code"
When you ground pound at the edge of a platform, the game softlocks.
Nice sus easter egg.
fun
nice simple game, very fun
I love this!
fun to play. do you guys have any plan to add more stages?
Looks amazing and the controls rarely get in the way despite how sophisticated they are. I just have a little problem with some of the levels with the crabs and spikes, they just felt too unfitting for a puzzle platformer. Instead of allowing you to think about "How do I make this jump" you had to think of "Ok when exactly do I have to jump to not die here, and what do I have to do then to not be instantly killed by the crab-cat".
Though on the other hand at the end the levels where you just run to the star were a bit straightforward.
Finally, a good interpretation of one button mechanic
sophisticated game controls: press [bt]
Really cool little game, was fun!
amazing, love the simple mecanics and it isnt hard to learn how to play
It's really simple and fun. It's a good game.
Beat it after a few runs. Excellent implementation of the one-button mechanic and overall just a fun game. Here's my attempt at a speedrun:
T00000ooooo hard
whoopdeedoo that's a softlock!
It was difficult at first but i have beaten it twice now
kula world
very nice game!
i cannot move from here
oops
How...???
The thin edge by the star doesnt turn you, so if you go via the outside of the spiral it either does that or throws you into the spikes.
Ι like this, very simple mechanics and unique design!
Lmao one key control simple mechanics but kinda hart 9/10
10/10, very puzzley (made me want to shut my laptop)
cool game
Almost rage quit at the end...good game!
best game I tried on this website
really cool simple concept
Hard. Neat.
nice!
Great Game! The idea is really nice but the controls are sometimes a bit hard :(
nice idea!
Hey would u mind if i make a port for android?
noice
Who else got the Among Us Easter egg?
when I saw it I was like wait what but then I died so...
lol dang
I was about to comment about it, but then it went back to normal when I moved
Yeah, that's what it does.
i also got it
where is it?
Sometimes when you die, you'll be an Among Us character until you move.
You can also just start the level like that sometimes.
