Your link is broken for your game.

Hi, cool game! The graphics are amazing and the concept of it is also well thought out. The slow acceleration made it quite difficult at times to get over obstacles, but overall amazing game.

Good: Love the visual style. Reminds me of old-school indie computer games. Jump feels great. Solid level progression and tutorializing. Love the level transition.

Less good: Would be nice to see the controls in a single page, not sure why they show up one at a time. Same deal with the credits. Dust and explosions are neat, but take forever to animate and disappear. Are they not time-bound? Jump and shoot sounds a bit too loud, especially with multiple shots.

Not sure: Forward speed increases while jumping. Is this intentional for bunny hop speedrunning?

Overall a neat little platforming experience with a fun computer style. Good work!

Nice little game. Really good level transition. The "shield" enemy sometimes simply stopped attacking. Not sure it was intended. The "kill" animation was so funny lol, tumbling away. That boss battle as EPIC ;)

@mrjoshuamclean I made it like that exactly for speedrunning, thought It'd be a neat little thing to add and i wanna see how fast people can play this

Got a chance to play your game! The polish is beautiful, real nice work on the pixel art and animations. I heavily question your control scheme choice. I use a 60% keyboard so holding the function key, using WASD, and pressing z to jump felt like playing twister. Really the only feedback I can give is to speed up the level transition; when you have levels where pressing restart is essential, it gets annoying to wait 4-5 seconds every time. As well, something like coyote time on the jumps would make the game far more forgiving. If the game is ever expanded on I would hope to see more use of the fast forward/slow motion. I only got each once and neither really had an effect on my gameplay. Overall, super impressive polish and very solid gameplay.

This is a fantastic jam game. It is easy to pick up, it adds several new mechanics as you progress through the game, it looks great, it sounds great, it has some extra polish to it, and it has an epic final boss. Very well executed. Look forward to seeing what you do next!

Nice game~It looks like a well done game more than a jam game~ The slippy foot,the translate animation,Cool~ Followed you and waiting for your new games~

Great little game! What it lacks in length it makes up for in how polished it is! After beating it for the first time, I immediately went back and beat it again. A super super specific thing I liked was the puff of smoke that appears when landing, idk but it stood out to me lol

My wife said Billy looks pretty much like me. I use Arch too, btw. :D This is a decent platformer which is tricky to master. I loved the transition effect and an overall aesthetics.

Here's a playthrough: https://youtu.be/lgZccXSMTgg

Wow! This is a great platformer! I loved the little touches, like the controls in the main menu, the transition, the particles, the danger timer, and especially the final boss! This is really well put together and a very impressive entry!

This was a pretty funny game, I enjoyed the computer humor quite a bit. The jumping was just difficult enough to make it a challenge which was fun. Good music and all over the theme of the game.

Nice work! I really like the effect of lock vanishing.

Looks like the game that I will really like to play, thx for sharing! But if I were Billy I just asked the help of a specialist or downloaded the anti-virus to fix this problem. That is not the best decision to go to your computer by yourself, as I think. You can read [more](https://howly.com/) about the computer help service that I prefer to work with on the following link.
