So, here it is. Nowhere near as polished as I'd like, but all in all I'm happier with this than my last entry (partly because this one actually has some gameplay :P). Enjoy - there's sort of an in game tutorial, but it's probably worth checking out the Gameplay Hints section on the itch.io page.

I liked the art and the theme of this, turning into gas would sure be unstable :3

This game is fantastic, I love the wacky art and enemy design, the gameplay feels rhythmic and deeply satisfying, and the story was hilarious to boot. Excellent work, you should be proud.

Nice game. You've got to make the music sync'd up with the wall patterns!

Fun little game with simple-but-challenging mechanics. Loved the enemy style. I also liked how the checkpoints were set and how it slowly introduced different patterns/mechanics.

This is a great little game! Challenging yet simple to understand, with steadily increasing difficulty. Big fan, great work.

Nice game with nice graphics and great soundtrack, but it's way too fast for me. I had to press the break button all the time so it was awkward to press up and down buttons at the same time.

ARGH! My brain is melting!
I just need a second to think!!! I am Old!

No, but really... good game. Fast and frantic, right on target!

Excellent music!

I think the game is difficult, but interesting. It was nice to play!

Liquid would indeed be a hard work. :) Very challenging and frantic game. But at the same time, fair - I felt that hitboxes were fairly forgiving, which is important for this type of game. Nice job!

Just found out that my brain is slooooow.
Nice trick of coloring the character the same the obstacles :D

Wooow I'm dizzy, but maybe it is the beer.

Good design choice with the colors. Music was on point.

This was fun! the stage right before the boss I think could have used one more checkpoint (that last section was pretty tricky and long), but I was able to get through it. And I feel ya on not getting everything done that you would want, I think we all feel that way... That being said, this felt pretty complete for a game jam game, so nice work!

Made it to the end after reworking how my brain handled the gas/solid controls at least three times. The game was fun and encouraged a little bit of self-improvement lol

I like how you can use the left/right arrow keys to control difficulty in the first few levels,
and your music was also quite good, I would have liked to hear the ending you had prepared.

Nice job!

Damn, the music here rocks HARD. Really nice job on that, I figure it took you some time! Also pretty fun gameplay and text, the artstyle is not my cup of tea but it's not detrimental to the game. It was also challenging but in a fair way, it's my fault but I died way too many times at the final boss fight ahahhaha

The mechanic was simple to understand but it was pretty fast paced and fun! I think it could use a little more variety in the long run but I had a great time. Well done!

Cool game with a good concept and unique use of the theme, unfortunately it was a bit too much on my eyes when it started speeding up more.

Hah game about unstable man) like woman from ant man 2. Funny game

Excellent! The game was on point, and you did a good job with audio and art. Lovely submission!
tamdevs8 Oct 2021, 17:29
Hey!

This game was great. There's a story, audio, challenge, enemies, progressive instructions/gameplay. The art was grungy and fits perfectly. It reminded me of playing rockband but with translation.

Thanks and congrats on the game.

Very fun! I appreciate the checkpoints and the decelerate feature too! Really helps for people like me who aren't very good at faster games like this haha. Good job!

Really nice game idea! The music was really cool. Lots of that hero feel going on. It took me a while to figure out how to beat the last boss. Quite fun and appropriately challenging!

Nice game ! Gameplay is simple and effective, the final boss is a nice touch to add to complete this game ! I feel like putting the obstacles in rythm with the music would have been perfect :stuck_out_tongue:

Interesting mechanics for a runner. I wish you luck.
