In my opinion, the third level is too difficult. The difficulty increases too quickly.
Fun!
The controls feel really nice and I love the whole walking on walls mechanic. Fairly challenging too, the difficulty spiked up a lot once I got to the first level with the moving diamonds. Each level was really unique. I wasn't able to get past the level with the moving platforms. This is a solid platformer, well done!!
@willby @kremlebot I definitely agree that I the difficulty needs to be smoothed out - This ended up being a last-minute pivot, so I just plain didn't have enough levels to figure out a reasonable difficulty curve 😅 Spot-on feedback
Also, thank you for the reminder that I totally forgot to put the level skip code in the description! (Typing "cheatyface" at any time lets you jump ahead to the next level)
Nice! Great work finishing up such a polished game in little time! I love the rabbit art a lot! Gameplay reminds me of VVVVVV and was really fun ^^
It is a very interesting and dynamic game, I liked the design and mechanics of the game. It was fun to play))
Okay first guy was right about the third level difficulty jump. But super fun game, character controller feels both smooth and buttery, and then frustrating which is honestly the perfect balance. I like how simple the controls are!

It took me 10 minutes to complete the game. It's a very interesting platforming, and the game feel is very good! The sound effects are simple but just right, and it's very smooth to play! I like it very much!!!
Heck of a difficulty curve, but by far the most fun I've had in this jam. Solid design all around! Decent amount of commitment to your movement, but retrying is fast enough that it never gets frustrating. Great job!
It took me a bit of time to get the hang of the movement, but after that it is quite fun! As others have mentioned, I think the difficulty ramps up too quickly (the cheat code is very appreciated!), but the way movement is handled makes for a pretty unique challenge. Also, great art style!
Really fun platformer with nice feel to the movement. The wall walk mechanic is interesting and fun. Like others have said, I agree that the difficulty ramps up too quickly, but that doesn't really take away too much from the enjoyment of the game, I think. Great job!
Cute and fun, reminds me of N in some ways. I got a little confused by left/right going up when standing on right/left side of the wall, but eventually I got used to it. I didn't really use X for anything. Good job :) bun-run.PNG
Solid platformer, reminds me of super meat boy or celeste or something. Difficulty seems to ramp up quickly. Just realized I never pressed X on any of the levels.
The game was very difficult but addictive, I stuck with it for quite some time despite dying probably hundreds of times. Sound effects are minimal but perfect for the style. Everything looks great and is very clear. Controls are intuitive. I got stuck on this jump on level 5, I couldn't figure out how to get enough height to get over the spikes, any tips? Still really enjoyed the game though, well done.

@druven Thanks for the kind words (and for sticking through so many deaths :) )! The jump has a variable height, so if you hold the jump button down, you'll go higher than you would if you just tap the jump button - Hopefully that helps!

This is extremely hard for me, lol, dead so many times in my place, but yes, my finger can not stop trying lol
I'm not very good at these kinds of games. But this one has such nice controls, that I feel like I could get to master it. I played it for just a little while, but still felt my skills improve. I know people who love these kinds of games, and I have a deep respect for them. I feel like this is a really strong game because of the controls and level design. I also really like the character design. Good job!
Hell ya that was sick! love your games xD you always have a a really simple, juicy, and consistent style that I look forward to playing every time <3 BunRun.png
Hey, im the host for Score Chasers this year and wanted to ask if youre fine with me using gameplay from the game in this LDs [score chasers tournament](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/56/$405421/ludum-dare-score-chasers-qualification-begins) intermission video. (Would play in the breaks of the tournament on my stream). Last LD for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuddhZScWxo
Fun little speedrun :D Sub-1's def possible—there were a couple of cycles that were definitely avoidable.

Edit: Got it (with a death D:)!

@ategon Absolutely, feel free! :) Fittingly enough, the score chasers tournament is what gave me the kick to finally add in a death counter and timer this time around!
@meep Woah, awesome run! My best time so far has been just above a minute, so you've got the record there! I'm really glad you enjoyed the speedrun! :)
I really liked this! I wish there were some easier levels because I am bad!
I'm no good at this sort of game so I didn't progress very far but it worked nicely and felt like other games of the genre so great job! the sound was really nice but it would have benefited from fast paced music motivating the player to continue
Finished the game in a handful of minutes with "a handful :smile: " of deaths. Good fun! I remember your game Eye Fly. Following to catch more bangers you put out, since apparently I missed a few. Will have to go back and check them out. Good work!
