Extremely fun! Although I feel it would be even better in my opinion if the timer never reset and you had to complete a set amount of loops in 5 minutes. That way you would get a lot more value from checkpoint and not messing up at the start!
move forward for 0.1 seconds at the start, jump, jump again, go to the edge of the single-block platform, jump onto the higher-elevated part of the next, jump, jump past the spike onto the next platform, hug all the walls 'till the moving spikes, wait until the millisecond they start going down on the bottom row, book it
Khaos, no need to apologize. You can be the one who broke the barrier into sub-3 all you want, but I'll always be the one who lit a torch and ventured into it.
...Why. WHY?! WHY MUST YOU BEST ME?! WHY MUST YOU FORCE MY EGO TO GO THROUGH A THOUSAND YEARS OF TORTURE AND SUFFERING JUST REGAIN THE RECORD?! WHY?!?! YOU MONSTER!
As an esteemed individual who has gotten a total time below 50 seconds, I shall reveal my strategy.
Round 1: Just wing it.
Round 2: Take Double Jump, Super Jump, or Dash. Double Jump is the fastest, but will slow down the setup for the strat. Super Jump is imo, best in the long run.
Round 3: Take Super Jump or Dash depending on which you don't have, if you took Double Jump Super Jump is better.
Round 4: Take Higher Super Jump or Invincibility Dash. Invincibility will make going through sawblades easier, but it's not required.
Round 5: Take the one you didn't last round. Do not go to Highest Jump.
Round 6-10: Take whatever you want; throughout these rounds you should get 3-5 seconds on average, I'd recommend getting movement speed to "move even faster", and not getting "move EVEN faster" and above.
To the person who asked if round 3 higher super jump would be better, no, as getting dash and going through the sawblades with 2 super jumps is faster.

It is both a roguelike and not a roguelike, as it follows metroidvania mechanics, but it doesn't have 'permadeath' of sorts, but death could also be portrayed as running out of time, instead of the character 'dying' and respawning at a checkpoint or the start
Very fun. Well designed and everything. The charge-jump and dash seem basically manditory. Wish it was more obvious dash DIDN'T include invulnerability, I was so confused why sometimes I didn't die and sometimes I did, until I saw the upgrade.

Very fun and addictive!
I believe that the road to sub-2.5 is speed x6, higher super jump, and dash. THE DREAM IS WITHIN REACH, LADS
you mean speed x5?
i just realized you can't get dash so just no dash, speed x6 (there are other upgrades yknow, i've only gotten it once) and super jump x2
You can damn well bet I'll burn you with my torch, khaos.
(also i'm pretty sure that the spike thing you posted was patched but i wouldn't count that as a full-on update)
I chose the hat. I chose the boots. I have no regrets.
Awesome game, genius.
umm this doesn't seem right and potentional for faster round 1

I disagree. The entire game can be beaten in under 2 minutes incredibly easily.
you may be the one to take your torch into the cave but I'll be damned if I'm not there with you
also why take dash if you don't take fall speed
super jump x2
dash x2
fall speed x1
move speed x3
and perfect execution
sub-11 round 1
how
Why would I reveal my secrets to my rival?
ok fine
move forward for 0.1 seconds at the start, jump, jump again, go to the edge of the single-block platform, jump onto the higher-elevated part of the next, jump, jump past the spike onto the next platform, hug all the walls 'till the moving spikes, wait until the millisecond they start going down on the bottom row, book it
And I'll keep on going deeper.
Speed x5 (Yes, you can get the speed upgrade a fifth time, it's "dude, this is too fast", I was surprised too), Higher Super Jump, Dash
Khaos, no need to apologize. You can be the one who broke the barrier into sub-3 all you want, but I'll always be the one who lit a torch and ventured into it.
I'm so sorry
you may have broken my record but I will always be the first to get sub 3
unless an update will come outat least i got boots and hat
round 9...
sub 3 seconds LETS GO!
good job khaos
...Why. WHY?! WHY MUST YOU BEST ME?! WHY MUST YOU FORCE MY EGO TO GO THROUGH A THOUSAND YEARS OF TORTURE AND SUFFERING JUST REGAIN THE RECORD?! WHY?!?! YOU MONSTER!
yes!!
lets go
wowzers
My game froze when dying as the time limit ended. This also happened with two other comments. Link 1 Link 2
edit: oh its known
Love the music!!

Edit: There's 9 rounds, not 10.
1: 5:00
2: 3:00
3: 2:00
4: 1:00
5: 0:45
6: 0:30
7: 0:20
8: 0:15
9: 0:10
I've decided you're wrong because I have the faster time.
So funny but I'll take it.
To the person who asked if round 3 higher super jump would be better, no, as getting dash and going through the sawblades with 2 super jumps is faster.

why is it tagged as roguelike?
It is both a roguelike and not a roguelike, as it follows metroidvania mechanics, but it doesn't have 'permadeath' of sorts, but death could also be portrayed as running out of time, instead of the character 'dying' and respawning at a checkpoint or the start
love this game
move faster x2, fall faster x1, invincible dash, double jump, super jump x1 and the most important COOL HAT
move even faster
fall faster
triple jump (double jump also works)
edit: I have achieved sub 4. is this the record?
nuh-uh
sub 5 seconds is possible
NOT AGAIN
My game froze when I died at exactly the time limit.
amazing! tons of fun!
love i
a font by daniel linssen and a game made by kindanice?!!?!? WOWZA!!!!
