Loved the game. The gameplay, though simple, never managed to get boring or repetitive. The one-bit graphics alongside the banger soundtrack are however the main focus, I find. I do wonder how the theme is exactly suppose to relate to the gameplay ( maybe the shadow behind the player was meant to mean limited view space? ). But nonetheless, the game managed to be above all: really fun!

Good game, I just feel the wall/ceiling coming should start appering more slowly, because when it appears there is no much more time to do anything

Loved the game. I liked how dying didn't mean I had to restart from the same place but continue from where I died. The one-bit graphics is simple for very effective and the soundtrack is great too.

Felt really good to play, got a bit repetitive, but was still fun! Really nice job! :)

dude is that ladder to ladder part even doable? or maybe iam bad lol.. i had to give it up after a buncha tries..

Really enjoyable, quite liked the idea that it was never ending but would've liked more levels. liked the audio aswell!

Played it for a bit. Very hard to jump from ladders, otherwise quite fun! Is there an ending?

Really liked the black and white style. The sound of the screen movement is THICK lol. I did had a rough time with jumps form the ladder. Cute game

Cool game! I recognize the shadow light from construct, glad to see another game using it :)

Super fun game and cool main loop! I liked the score-attack style and the screen-sized levels. The platforming feels good.

Really cool game idea! Combining endless-runner type gameplay with platforming is a great idea. :) The ladders were a little awkward to jump off of sometimes, that ended most of my runs.

@joymagine I can confirm that all the levels are indeed possible, albeit I left a few admittedly sadistic jumps in a couple :)

primed-pixel 2023-10-03 21:45

@spooncats ladders are definitely something that I would've liked to improve; even just a few modifications could have really helped, I feel. Thanks for playing!

Cool game. Jumping off ladders was kind of tough for some rooms. I also didn't notice that it's endless for like 5 minutes, I wondered why I kept seeing the same rooms lol

Good job!

Nice game! i like how the levels fit together to make it a procedural game !

dan-burns 2023-10-09 01:12

Really cool! strange/cool visual effect with the "shadow" behind the character. Good balance of fun/challenge. Nice work!

Great game! I really appreciate that the whole game doesn't start all over when the player dies and the level and timer counter are a nice incentive for highscoring. I think the walls collapsing effect could be a bit slower, as it's hard to recover when it's about to start. I also had some room transition that directly lead into a pit, which felt a bit unfair.
