Is there anywhere where we can buy or download the soundtrack for this game? I rather like it :P
21 minutes 24 seconds first try, short and VERY sweet, i enjoyed the concept a lot, and the finniky controls and movement made it all the more fun, which normally would just be frustrating.
my fastest time is 8 minutes! A quick way to skip the final cloud is to launch bombs onto the mountain side, fly above the with the pistol, and detonate.
It's really fun and challenging. But I don't know how to pass the final level and got stuck for almost half an hour (I finally skipped it from the left side). Anyway thanks for an amazing game.
I completed the game not even knowing there was a sniper. I activated the platform, then used only the pistol and sword to reach clouds (it took me like 20 minutes to figure out how to do that, the sniper would have made it so much easier).
Loved it! I will say, it took me a while to figure out that the sword beam had to reach the ground in order for me to go farther. The 4th weapon's special exploding one at a time also wasn't clear at first; my first experiment with the weapon was all three bombs together, and afterwards I assumed that they would all go off at the same time. Finally, I also found that some of the last puzzles with buttons were quite difficult; it took a bit of experimenting to figure out which buttons did what, especially the final button, as it was a good distance from the object it affected.
I found the game to be a lot of fun! It took me 55 minutes to complete. I explored a little bit at the end and enjoyed jumping off the map and finding those two easter eggs in the corners. Thanks for a fun game!
Really enjoyed playing!! Got to play it for a video and i had a blast :D
really cool game! liked the demoman tf2 reference
Good game, but towards the end the puzzles get a little confusing. Beat it with the use of a walkthrough.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ADD FULLSCREEN THE AMOUNT OF TIMES IVE CLICKED OFF THE GAME QAND IVE NOT EVEN BEEN PLAYI9NG FOR 10 MINUTES good game tho
agreed
Really fun idea! Feels like a rage game at times :P
Please release this for Android
Wonderful game.
Great game i enjoyed playing it!!
i love how the mechanic of the game is introduced and how i can combine the guns to get past some section. i really love the mechanic of this game!!
i put the whole walkthrough if anybody has a struggle beating it.
Found this cool secret
how btw
When your here go to the right edge
Then do 4 1 2 3 and if you do it the other way you find a garbage can
then get the cloud above you and beat the game and do it from there again
here's the other side
I KNEW it was after the game and I HAVE NO CLUE WTH but I will try!
Took me forever on this last part
you can skip the last part very easily just go to the right side and jump up there its the cloud with the grenade launcher
I hate it, it's awesome
i had to use a trackpad but I was able to do it
Finally, I think this is the world record.
very nice i think the world record is my 2:29:90
you can join the discord that's linked in the speedrun.com forums
A very difficult but fun game! At first, I thought it was a game like Getting Over It, where you slowly progress using pivot points and force. But as I collected weapons, the gameplay changed in a great way, and combining multiple weapons made it even more thrilling! The game design is truly impressive.
In short, it was so much fun, meow~! 🐱
Hi Great game I own Chromebook and I would like to play offline but Chromebook only allows web could you add an HTML download for this
It's interesting as game platformer.
I'm a beginner game developer, feel free to play my game if you'd like.
MRD-GameStart
Support me please.
I need your feedback.
nice game!
love the challenge and idea, could not get out of a pit tho
(not your fault i'm just kinda dumb :P )
well i don't know how the other people get 2 hours but i got 23 minutes on my first run
bruh
was it the last hard part that took you so long becuse you can skip that
the cloud part was the one that took long
also guess what
o wow nice its pretty fun to speedrun try it
yea you can just skip the end you need to go out to the side of the cloud when you got the grenade launcher its where the red x sign is you can then boost yourself and shoot with the other guns to reach the top and win you can even do it without the gun that's how people get 3 minutes
im pretty sure its 2 minutes not 2 hours unless its a post i haven't seen yet that has 2 hours
its right under your reply
i may have noticed the second i posted that._
I FINALLY did it, i don't know how people get 33 minutes on their first run
great run
is there any way to fullscreen the application?
alt-enter and F11 don't work
use the square button on windows
or are u using an apple laptop
that maximizes not full screen
which still makes it able to click task bar or drag the tab when trying to play
I finally got an actual good time with really good execution :D
I think I had a pretty clever route too:
💀👍
what's your route?
Regular route to get to sword and out, but I skip the gun and go to the shotgun. Use the momentum from the first drop to go far and do a skip to leave early. From the exit, I use the momentum to get to the clouds and climb until getting the grenade launcher. From there I go to the right side (although left is probably faster) and skip the rest of the level.
i cant get past this part, can anybody help?
you need to use sword first, then 2/3
only all three weapons can give you enough vertical velocity
i try that but theres cooldowns on the weapons, i can just BARELY activate 2 weapons in one jump after losing like 99% of my height
I finally did it, turns out if i hold left mouse on the last shot of the first weapon i use, the second has no cooldown
how am i meant to get past this part? am i just incredibly stupid?
you need to use your 4 to bang three buttons in the proper order
wait whats the proper order tho
yes.
you can skip the second gun.... yeah, i think im little tryhard
I rarely comment or rate games, but this game definitely deserves 5 stars. I was hooked with this game's easy to understand, hard to master mechanics, and the loveable art style. My only critique is that there is only 4 weapons. I NEED a sequel right now!!!
Unlike Getting Over It, this game was not intended to cause immense frustration!
It was fun!
challenging but fun, great game
accidentally got the sniper before the pistol but it worked out somehow
Es muy bueno para desafiar a un amigo o una familiar a quien lo termina más rápido 10000/100
