What do you think?

Decent game I do have a bit of feedback.

  • Visuals
    The dirty filter you have over the lense is not fun to look at and is really distracting. Maybe remove it or tone it down a bit.

  • Level design
    The level design is pretty bland, most of the levels are go fast and jump. This is not really that great for a speedrunning game since most runs will likely just cap at a specific point since there's not that much to wolding down W and jumping. I would like to see some new abilities that change movement up a bit. Take for instance the regular speedrunning ones like walljumps and wallrunning.

  • Gameplay
    Air movement is a bit strange. Usually if I overshoot a jump I want to press S to decrease my momentum. However in this game you will very quickly just reverse your momentum and for some reason you can't decrease the backwards momentum by pressing W. In my opinion this should be addressed and changed to how games usually handle aerial momentum.
    One more thing, movement direction should probably be separate from camera direction as right now it's near impossible to do a 180 mid jump and still go the same direction.

  • Game design
    I've seen that sideways and backwards give much more momentum than just playing normally. This is a new mechanic i haven't seen that much before (except accelerated back hopping from portal and goldeneye diagonal walking). This seems however like an arbitrary speedrun mechanic. But not in a good way. First of all this mechanic is already wonky since movement direction is tied to camera direction thus not being able to elegantly go from forwards walking to backwards walking mid jump. Second of all, most serious speedrunners will just play with backwards controls all the time if they want to compete for a top spot. Thus playing the game facing forward or sideways may get unviable and in turn you have a game where everyone is playing the game backwards. I would suggest making facing forwards just the fastest speed and adding different mechanics to make the game more difficult/more rewarding.

Thats it from me, keep in mind that this feedback has my opinion sprinkled in so some of these suggested changes will only make people like me happy while they may deter other people.

Its a game for speedrunners who dont want to take hours and then see that they missed the WR by one second! In this game milliseconds are super valuable! Only 5 levels yet but there will be more and it will be on speedrun.com
