Fun little game! Adding some time requirements or medals you can earn for going faster than certain times are some small thing that would help take it to the next level. Leaderboards would be really cool, but I get that's a lot to ask for a game like this.

Quite fun and challenging game for the price, i've completed it in about 30 minutes. I didn't found any bug that would affect my gameplay.

This game was about worth what I paid for it: 59 cents on sale. It's structured like any traditional speedgame, but bears some incredible flaws. Not being able to bind reset to a keybind is annoying, not being able to view replays is infuriating when trying to compete for leaderboard positions, not being able to buffer more than one input when starting a level is asinine, and the general gameplay loop becomes stale very quickly. One of this game's three whole unique obstacles is a spinning saw with four spokes, of which will keep spinning before the level starts. This breaks the ideal deterministic principle I enjoy from other speedgames: by choosing when to start you can effectively change the level at your whim. Another detriment to the game is that the level design is uninspired and boring. Multiple levels in the game are repeats of previous levels with slightly more obstacles added, which becomes repetitive quite quickly, and even many of the unique levels (especially later on) were just a slog. If you've got an hour or two to kill and you enjoy grinding speedgames, give it a whirl if you so choose, but otherwise, trust that you're not missing out on much by not playing.

Fun and simple game, that's quick to play. Though it bugs me that there's a setting to change sound effect volume, but not the music volume. And man, the music can get loud.
