Nice game! cool idea to give a "shortcut" that takes time lol. Nice particules effects !

Game play is bad, but the concept is good while there are the slower and faster way to go on most levels, so the player can "play with the time" as the resource: You just might need to balance mechanics some more.

Simple and minimal, as it should be. One thing I'd change is that the camera lags behind the character instead of showing what is in front of you. Cool screen transition.

Solid entry, all feels to fit well together. I would have hope a little more risk on the design side of things but the game plays nice and feels complete.

Pretty fun! The platforming controls work well. The levels make interesting use of the disappearing terrain. I managed to finish the game. Graphics and audio are simple but not bad. I like the animated stick figure. I think the excitement could be stepped up by reducing the timer and also showing how far through the game we are. And maybe the jumping was a little floaty for my taste but that's subjective.

I would love to love this game but I just have trouble finding fun with games that use leap of faith so heavily. I did however beat it and realized that the most egregious of spots was the final level so there is that. I did like the game's simplistic art style, though. I really wish you would have leaned into the endless runner aspect rather than bring the game to a stop so you can try to memorize which spots are best to fall down, however. The running and trying to time jumps part may have been my favorite part, tbh.

Cool game! I like the fact that there are multiple paths where one is safer but slower and one is faster if you can pull it off. Adds a nice dynamic to the game.

Pretty good game. The graphics are minimalistic, but they work nicely, and screen transitions look pretty damn good!

As for the levels, those jump traps could've seen use in more than just 1 level. I do have to agree with sir_onionknight that the final two levels are rather cheap; I suffered a time-out and had to play the game all over again because I ran out of time on the final stage.

Apart from those last levels, this game is a good one. And you managed to finish it.
