There is a wall which constantly chases the player through the stage. It can be both beneficial and dangerous to the player.Screenshot (6).png From getting crushed by the wall to wall jumping on it to get across spikes, this wall will be on your tail.

BTW... You cannot jump on the right/left of a wall in a row. This is to prevent "wall surfing".
Despite my revision for the upcoming exams, I still managed to make a game! Even though its 2 levels, well, I tried.

I hope you will enjoy my game :smile:

@blueblu I agree, the 2nd level is quite challenging xd

@leave Thanks for the feedback! Your game is also pretty challenging!

Simple but nice game. I really like the way you did the graphics!

2 minor comments:

Playing games on ludum dare this morning made me accustomed to use spacebar as jumping, and while I understand your choice for W it would be even better if both were mapped to jump (in my opinion)

And on your titlescreen you say to press Enter to restart, however when you die it tells you to press R. Probably a forgotten change?

Anyway, fun and nice game! Sound effects are on point as well.

The level 2 is really hard ! I did not manage to go further but otherwise I like the idea.

Nice work !

I also rage quit on level 2! The wall jumping controls could have been a little better, I feel. It was a very nice idea though and the level design was good.

@winnie33 oh wow I didn't even realize I made that typo ._. I meant to put 'press enter to start'

@ephoria maybe I should decrease the difficulty! oh dear

@rillep thanks for your compliments! I will try to improve the wall jumping then

The art style is minimal and simple, but works well!
It's really hard and challenging, and the idea fits the theme.

Nice entry!

Challenging, and I like the art. Some kind of soundtrack would've been a nice addition. I found the wall jumping to be a bit finicky. Otherwise great job!

Decent platforming and I love the concept of using your impending doom as a tool for your escape. Super neat way of handling the theme.
