Gameplay, graphics and music are all very well done. But this game is sooo hard especially the last part of level 5.

graphics and gameplay are good. Wasn't sure how the gameplay met the overview of the game.

Not the most unique thing, but really well executed. Excellent graphics.

fun but hard as hell. Also addicting as hell. Nice graphics too

Good game!

Cool intro. Level design is good but really hard, you really need to add some checkpoints. Musics is good. I'd really like to see what else is here but I've tried level 2 like 30 times and it's just way too hard. I feel like I could struggle for 10 more minutes just to get past level 2.

Hard but fun.

Really well put together game!

Very well polished. I would have enjoyed a tile set change up, but all around good work

Loved the graphics, nice concept too. Good job!

Loved the neon color splash choices.

Very good endless runner! The second level can be really unforgiving but this was quite fun to play.

This game is a cohesive whole, very solid. Good job man!

I loved the thing with gravity!

Great art - particularly liked the character. Fun gameplay as well, though even some of the earlier jumps are tricky to time. Some tweaks to the difficulty ramp might help, or checkpoints. Nice work overall :)

Really like the art and the shifting gravity so you walk on the ceiling. By shifting gravity I felt like jumping wasn't really as important so maybe you could use that 2nd action button for something else. Good job!

cool!

I like the graphics and the game is easily understood and very well presented.

What can improve?
- Level 1 (tutorial) is maybe too long.

- the barriers and lasers don't look too dangerous in the first place. When you I meet the obstacles I'm not 100% they're dangerous.

- I'd like to have a faster pace, it feels kind of slow.

Well done!
