Wow, for being just a prototype, this was a delightful precision platformer! In general the construction of the game seemed high-quality: the graphics and presentation were very cute, the movement felt smooth, the jump mechanics were interesting and intuitive (and had some sweet hidden tech to them), and the level design was challenging and had multiple paths/shortcuts for the speedrunners. Once I beat it the first time, I had to go back and redo it a second time: it just felt that fun! I find it very promising and would love to see a full version of this.

In terms of feedback, the only bugginess I noticed was that if you scrape a corner of a platform but don't necessarily land on it, sometimes it can act a bit odd, refilling your ammo or ignoring your jump input.

So far I've gotten it down to about 2 minutes flat!

Thank you for your feedback!
Me and a team of classmates are actually working on a full version of this game as our final college project and are planning to release it on steam once it's done!

It is good and all but there is a point where you reach an area where you have to jump on 3 different enemies on 3 platforms with a narrow spike lane you must thread the needle with. At that point it got way too difficult due to the how difficult it was to reach the second part only to learn the checkpoint was above it and to get it you had to repeat the same difficult spike midair maze thing to reach the other side only to do it AGAIN to reach the checkpoint.

Intrest kinda died on that difficult bit but it was fun while it lasted.

cool game, cool music

Cool little game! I've been following you for some time and I must say that your content is very diverse and unique! Keep doing what you do and good luck in your future projects. (Is this Rin Kaenbyou from Touhou Project?))

Aside from the hitbox of the mobs and how fast you to left and right when you are on the air. I liked very much the prototype!!
