A very nice game. Took me a few tries to get the second medal and just in time to get the last spot for the first users to unlock that medal too all thanks to the hints that you provided to the guy below me :)

is ascend timer-related? the best i can do is barely above 2 minutes so if it's sub 2 that's real rough.

i was thinking it may be related to the platform at the top, but the problem with that is the platform already starts at "ground level", and it begins rising as soon as you collect the last collectible.
even if you were already near the platform it would be difficult to make up the height difference considering the jump height, so there's no way to make it up there in time even if you leave the highest collectible for last.

additionally, the game could really use a proper reset button. something that doesn't force to refresh the page if you want to restart from scratch

EDIT: i've circled the border of the entire map way more times than necessary, and moved the camera to look through walls hoping to find something hidden.
after throwing myself off the map an innumerable amount of times, i've concluded there's absolutely no hint whatsoever in-game anywhere.
aside from the itch.io page for the game itself and soundtrack, there's also no other resource related to this game anywhere on the internet. so i got nothing

EDIT 2: ended up having to get help to "figure it out" (and by that i mean they pretty much spelled out how to) and now that i see it, i kind of hate it?

for one, it feels very gimmicky: there is absolutely no indication anywhere if you're looking for it "normally".
in fact, the only way to see it feels completely unintended, rather than part of the game.
moreover, once you do get it, it completely invalidates the entire core of the game, which is platforming.
i'm not sure how that affects timed runs, but i reckon it must be very frustrating for someone playing the game normally, then realizing the best way to approach the game is basically cheating

Fe26 responds:

I can tell you it is not timer related. And it has something to do with the platform at the top but there is something you are missing. Perhaps you could start looking "outside of the game itself".

But if is it speed what you want, there is a speedrun.com page that might help you.

Fun, haunting, relaxing, aesthetic game. Plays like a thought provoking black and white silent film. Don't think I have played a game like this one before.

One of a kind game. Very fun.

Beton – niejednorodny i wielofazowy kompozyt, powstały głównie z cementu, kruszywa i wody, które po wymieszaniu stają się ciałem lepkoplastyczno-stałym. Mieszanka ta dzięki hydratacji cementu przechodzi w ciało stałe, które w czasie dojrzewania wciąż zmienia swoje właściwości. Jest jednym z najbardziej powszechnych materiałów budowlanych we współczesnym budownictwie.

Wonderful atmosphere. Speaking of spheres, the ball is great to control, too.
