I don't know if it's just my computer, but when I move left and right, I move reeaaaallly fast, haha. Thanks for adding checkpoints, it makes it easier for if I fall off.

I also really like the music! It's kinda goofy in a playful way? Makes me happy.

Definitely recommend adding a Windows or a Web build if possible, as that'll help others play it too (not many people have Macs like you and me, lol). I'm pretty sure Unity can build Windows versions even on Mac OS?

Hey Foo! Cool game there, I see you've worked alone so extra points for that ;)
I didn't rate in graphics because it doesn't have graphics, but I've dropped a few stars in the rest.
As feedback, I think the movement has a lot of acceleration, so I've ended up falling most of times because of this. I loved the green tubes tho!
Keep it up ;)

Thank you :) The green tubes were actually an idea by a friend who's house I was staying in while making this

Hey! This was a super difficult platformer. Loved the tubes and stuff. I need a little bit more feedback as to what I was earning and what each death cost me. I made it to the end but only with $0.1 :(

Hey congrats on finishing!. The game needs a lot of polsihing but it's a start! If you hold D you can mostly skip the entire level super fast. You should probably add a speed limit. I'd use another key for jumping, also the jump mechanic needs some polish. Keep up the good work! You're on the right path.. (I finished as 0.5 :( )
