Fun Ride, if not bumpy at times...

The game tends to remind me, and at times slightly feel, like a megaman game. The difficulty comes with a few aspects; the controls, and the ease of death when looking at the fast paced nature.

I found I could play the game the best when I used the arrow keys, but the controls got out of hand with bad jumps and unplanned dashes, a problem that could be solved with a dedicated dash button. The other problem comes with the limited amount of lives and the ease with which you die in the game, although this problem might just be a result of the bad controls.

All in all, it is a very nice game, enjoyable especially when played at a fast pace, but the controls aren't conducive to playing the game at its fullest, hope you can improve in later games!

Well-executed but pretty standard

The design, animation, and sound effects are nice, but there's not much TO this game they're part of. In list form:
The lives limit is unnecessary. I'm sure it doesn't bother everyone, but you already have a health system in place, so why even bother with lives?
Those parts where you hit that coil thing and start flying are exciting until you realize that's not part of the level; maybe that becomes more important to gameplay later on (I certainly hope it does, that could be cool) but between the slippery movement and that damn lives system I couldn't get very far into this.
And not to nitpick, but if the up arrow and/or the W key aren't being used for anything else, can't we have the option to press those instead of the spacebar to jump?
The seeds of an interesting game are in here, but the level design is boring, the camera doesn't move up & down to keep the player character properly in frame, and overall there's no gameplay- or story-related inducement to see things through to the end.

ok...

The controls were floaty and, maybe this was just my crappy PC, I kept constantly dashing when I was just running forward. Also, using the up/w button instead of spacebar would be nice.
The game has decent graphics and I can't really criticise the OST.
Overall, a decent game, but it needs more polish.

Looks and sounds amazing

But unfortunately the double-dash is too easy to accidentally activate, so I often thrust myself off of platforms and past enemies I intend to land on, so I haven't been past stage 1-3 yet.

terrible controls

it looks very nice and all,
and the idea is solid,
but the controls and reactions make it unplayable...
