Cool idea for the theme, but I already struggled with level 2 so I didn't even try level 3.

I think it might have controlled better if the characters didn't have acceleration, seeing as you have to make some pretty precise and fast maneuvers. Also, as a fast paced game where you die a lot, I think the levels should automatically restart similar to Celeste or Super Meat Boy.

Cool game overall!

I agree, movement does not feel quite right. As for the restart, that's a good advice, I might revisit it to add a quick keybind and a timer, and also prevent the music from restarting EVERY time ! :)

I like the use of the theme, but I couldn't get past level 3. I could definitely see playing this again :) 

Level 3 is actually the last one ! I planned on adding more floors and only keeping the last 3 floors as the current level each time but I did not even had time to polish the 3 current floors during the jam.

Wow! Pretty cool game! Pretty hard, but I barely beat the last level with 1 second left haha

Hey ! Thank you for playing, and for going through it all !
It's pretty hard indeed, thankfully I had the whole weekend to train and beat it for the screenshots :')
