Very challenging.  I absolutely love the art style.  The audio is on point from the background music, to the subtle sound effects like the small whoosh when pressing down while jumping.  Visually this is well put together, between the scrolling layers all the way to the small effects when using dash or down. \n\nThere are a couple of things control wise I'd like to point out now that I've completed the game.\n* I mentioned on the stream earlier that sometimes when I'd jump, it didn't seem to register.  I couldn't figure out why then, but I've found it now. Sometimes, you can trigger the double jump\/floating right as you land on the ground. This occurs form pressing up just before landing, which I usually do right in front of a spike where I'm attempting to jump again and can't.\n* The dash is pretty much key to winning this. The pickups that are sometimes spawned within the spikes, or extremely close to them make it a necessity. However, there were times where I would time it just wrong and instead I would dash not only through the spike, but through the pickup as well. \n\nOther than these two things, I really enjoyed this game a lot.\n\nAlso, since you ask for it, here's some pics for you.  I had to capture it fast so not best quality, but died shortly after getting past 1000m\n\n![Louj_is_happy.png](\/\/\/raw\/9cc\/d\/z\/19f7d.png)\n\n\nForgot to add this in with the comment, but here is the link to the playthrough from the stream:  \nhttps:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/videos\/300351587","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Devio","author_uid":"1108592","time":"2018-08-16T16:30:06Z","epoch":1534437006,"modified":1534437007,"text":"Great game, Difficulty was just right, good quality audio and visuals.
