I like it, simple but very clean. Overlay some nice beats and you've got a real banger.

Nice and simple! Perhaps the double jump on the first level/rotation could've been a bit more welcoming... or maybe it's just my bad:)

It's a simple game, done well. All it needs is some music. I can see this being really enjoyable on mobile - my only criticism is that it feels a little slow paced, at least at first.

Simple and fun. Really nails the theme, a clock and everything :). Good job!

Tiny arcade game indeed, but well done overall. Controls are smooth and the animations quite nice.

Reminds me of the worlds hardest game I like how the level is a stopwatch. took me a few tries to get the double jump down but once I did it was well responsive

Very impressive. So simple but so clever. Best interpretation of the theme I saw so far. Congrats! :timer:

Elegant and minimal design. Really enjoyable gameplay. Love the whole scene going backwards when you restart. Managed to reach 8 laps!

Nice little game. I think I would have preferred to have floatier lower gravity jumps so that I could have a bit more freedom and control with how and when I use my jump.

Really cool game! I think it could be a very good Android game with just some more juice!

Well done!

Love the concept! Excellent use of the theme. The double jump was also a great addition, much more dynamic than if there was just the single jump.

Very simple game with fun yet addictive mechanics, that's all I'd ask for from any good jam game and your game did just that! really love the idea behind it, and how the generation works, I had a lot of fun playing this game! also I think the pitch shifting sound when you restart the game is really satisfying, well done!

One thing I wish the game told me about is that the more you hold space the further you jump, I didn't realize this at first which would've saved my butt, all in all you did a great job!

Cute little game. I like the premise! A life system with health-pickups would be an improvement, I think. Then you could make the game more difficult. The problem with one-hit death is that you're always on edge since any hit could end your entire run.

Simple yet effective!

I tried the html5 version of this game on my phone and it worked really well! Was fun, thanks for this entry!

Really creative platformer, super simple take on theme which I thought you did perfectly.
Only issue I discovered was clicking the volume slider counted as a jump

As many people have said, this is a very neat and effective game. A nice idea, well executed. Graphics are very basic but informative and a nice little fast-forward effect for the restart. With one-hit death, I think consistent levels would be a better approach to allow you learn your way through.

Really solid, only issue i have is that the game is pretty difficult from the start, but other than that, really solid, keep it up
