The idea is pretty good, but the game is too hard from the beginning. It should be easier in the beginning i frustrated quickly. Great anyways!

Very difficult! Feels a bit like trial and error.
Fantastic game! I need checkpoints though... XD
I COULD NOT BEAT IT!!! lol very nice! Very funny, good sfx and music, hilarious concept, and great gfx for 14 hours work.
Yeah, it definitely needs checkpoints or lives or something to make it a bit easier. I also found the walls obstructing my view at times, which was annoying. But the concept is great!
Good idea and presentation, but either tone down the difficulty or use checkpoints, otherwise it gets too frustrating very quickly.
Very cool idea, and I was impressed by the opening, but Jones' movements are kind of crazy. He'll turn in crazy directions or just stop at a wall. Would have been nice if he always moved up, but would turn away from walls, then continue going up after he walked away from the walls.
Definitely a solid looking concept though, good work.
Really hard, but shows a ton of potential that I hope is developed. My favorite part: audio goes slower when you slow down time. Awesome touch!
Thank you for the comments so far, everyone. I am currently doing a post-compo pass that includes a "real" difficulty curve, multiple levels, and one more power (drawing bridges over lava and gaps). I'll likely have a first pass ready to go by the end of the week.
This is a cool idea, with an unique touch on how to control the hero. but way too hard.
As others have pointed out, it should be easier in the beginning. You see a lavapit and die 0.1 seconds later :).
