A fun little game well-designed.

I'm very charmed by the graphics.

The no-jump gameplay was good in concept, but made awkward by:

  • a very long dash cooldown (even on v1.3) (it only needs a tiny cooldown)
  • dash distance seeming to depend on framerate (could not beat third level, even on v1.3)
  • platform edges being glitchy
  • and slow moving platforms forcing a lot of waiting.

Regardless, great work!

I noticed some stuff being frame dependant, but it was too late to fix it. Also the platform edge glitching is pretty annoying!

Thanks for playing!

I'm playing v1.2 and tried both fullscreen and small window. The mouse control is inverted on X but not on Y, which is super confusing for me.

Yeah, the camera control was still inverted in that version. Don't know why it seemed normal to me while I was testing it.

I just added the option to change the camera direction in 1.3
