Really awesome, game, the graphics are amazing. The game is really hard though, but it is still really good! The audio was great too!

Thanks mate! Really appreciate that. Game indeed need some balance, but we haven't much time unfortunately.

This is great, I love the graphics and how the platforms appear.
I had framerate issues (though my pc is prehistoric) and it was kinda hard to control the character while in the air, but I got to the end anyways and enjoyed it a lot.
Good work!

Thanks for your input!

Wow this game is absolutely gorgeous! (It did look like there were some weird artifacts as objects popped in from the distance though) Great music too. Gameplay-wise I wish there was more incentive to go faster rather than just having it be standard platforming. I would love to see this fleshed out more. Great work!

For some reason, starting this game on my windows computer causes it to log me off ??? Anyways, I did not rate it because I was not able to run it. Just letting you know

Very nice and makes fun and its hard.
But on my Lenovo T400 too hard. When i press Space to jump it needs too long to react. Maybe its because my bad laptop, but i dont know

awesome! one of the best i think! but very dificult ! like that :D But where is the theme?

Very pretty! I think it would have been more fun if it was continuous forward movement rather than needing to navigate around and platform jump.

How can you make such a pretty game in such little time?!
Very fun. Very pretty. Audio was pretty great too. I don't really know what to say.
Great work!

Good mood and art but the controls are frustrating in a bad way, I mean like they feel sticky when you are at a halt.

Really nice graphics

I can't download this, it just keeps stopping and giving me an error, I'll try again later =/

Thanks guys!

5 stars for the visuals, great pace, I think you should make jump on one of the mouse buttons, I have struggle with using WASD, space and then the mouse, tricky control scheme. Well done :)

This is very beautiful, stylish game, and audio matches well!
It needs some controls tuning and, I think, will be better if you urge player somehow to run without stops.

The graphics are AWESOME! The music really help to put you in the running like hell mode. The last level was kinda hard because of "ground checking" (sometimes I pressed jump but was kinda early, I guess, and then the jump was weak) and the midair control. But really fun... I think you need to keep working on this idea. :)

Very nice visuals and music and overall a pretty fun (albeit somewhat frustrating) experience. It has a very unique feel and conveys that sense of speed rather well.
The controls are quite.. special? :D Works well in the first level, but not in the second one (for me at least). And after I finally made it past that small single platform of hell after 20ish tries, there was a broken checkpoint or something so the game kept respawning me at a place where I couldn't reach any platform and just fell down immediately.
Also, a minor thing I just realized, the game plays a sound when *pressing the jump button* instead of when actually jumping. This is somewhat irritating as it implies the feedback of "successfully jumped", but then I fall down because I pressed the button a little too late.

However, I don't want to focus too much on the few negative things, the game remains pretty amazing all things considered. Visually it actually reminds me of Rupture by ASD (demoscene stuff, it's on Youtube) and, you know, that's good. :D
