Not bad! I liked the idea a lot. It was a bit difficult moving around and the color palette made it hard to see things on screen. But otherwise, very good.

A little tough given that each checkpoint can only be used once, but really fun

The puzzle element of each checkpoint only once is really clever for a fast-paced game, and I have a sore spot for metroidvania games. Just a bit too hard/not enough time for me to figure out all my abilities!

For some reason, I find dying too quickly funny in this game! I know there is some strategy involved for getting a good ending, but I haven't figured it out yet.

Decent little game. I liked a lot of the ideas for mechanics, but the execution wasn't great at times.

There seems to be quite a lot of substance there, but I die way too fast to experience any of it. :D Even without the time limit it would be hopeless for me. But it seems very fun and quite complex for a game that was made on a single weekend.

Good atmosphere and mood, nightmarishly difficult!

I've uploaded a walkthrough at http://youtu.be/q6y0XjFGLlY. It's low quality, but should be watch-able.

I liked the idea of it a lot but had a hard time with the movement in it. Liked the challenge and puzzle element to it.

Very difficult but nice to play. Color palette is a bit too dark also for me.

Quite Promising an fun at times, but the equipment functioned quite wonkily at times.

The checkpoint idea is great! First time I've seen it :)

Very cool in all respects, but the gameplay, especially controls, seemed a bit finicky.

The game's pretty hard, the insta-death is a little discouraging, but it gets balanced with the checkpoint system.
The palette you've chosen here is a tad too dark for comfort. I didn't realize the grey scribbles on the floor were lethal on the first few tries.

Overall, a good game. :)

Pretty good! It's a little too easy to just get stuck and have to start over, though. I suppose that's part of the idea...

Far too hard, and very frustrating. From what I've seen it looked quite interesting; wish I could've completed it.
