There’s an extra little reward for finishing deathless.
Comment your times! If you want to beat me at my own game, the time to beat is 2:21 (which I got because of practice during development).

Unnecessarily hard. I love it.
Pretty cool. I ended up not using Left/Right 98% of the time, especially because I couldn't move mid-air.
I replayed it (almost) not using the keyboard and I got 6:30 while my first run was over 15 minutes. I reckon with some tweaking, you could have a difficulty option that requires you to hit all buttons to open gates without dying.
I'm not going to try a deathless run. There's too many bottlenecks and the swing rope accelerates too fast.
Nice. The controls are super smooth.
im the the frigin spider-man
