dang that last level is nasty. it just seems like a lot compared to the rest of the game, but given how short it is I appreciate it. Took me almost 12 minutes on the first run.
Wonderful simple yet challenging game. The way you re-use elements is very elegant (e.g: the 2 wheel cogs acting as a one way gate at the end of the game). Loved it!
Hiya! Love the game man :) Beat your time and got a pretty decent pb! Gl to any1 who wants to beat it :D This took around 2h to do and my wirst hurts lmao
I've looked through all the comments and this should be around 5th world, I'm grinding for the fast cycle at lvl 5 now, only like 5 frames to go and (Hopefully) Crush my this pb
Attempt 1: 00:24:31:03 Noticeable Items: - You CAN beat the last level, get good - You can skip the 3 stacked gears by doing a pixel perfect wall climb - I hate it. I'm going to play again.
Attempt 2: 00:07:10:52
Noticeable Items:
- You can't skip that 2nd jump on the last level. You know which jump i'm talking about, you tried, I know
- When you die, quickly press a direction key, the camera doesn't catch up for until a second after, your character spawns INSTANTLY
- Going to attempt 3 now
Attempt 3: 00:07:31:13
Noticeable Items:
- I got slower. In theory you can probably go under 60seconds if you play the game just right. Attempt 4 soon
Attempt 4: 00:05:23:37 Noticeable Items:
-Best attempt yet
-You do NOT just run off the 2nd flatform in the final stage, I tried.
-we have a Cayote system, Overshoot, never underestimate distance
-I have perfected the 3 Cog wheel skip. [How to do it? The flat top part of the cogwheel is considered a "WALL" by the system and thus you can briefly cling to it, but you won't be able to Wall Jump off it, you can however gain vertical and albeit sometimes. horizontal distance with it. timing it correctly, you walk to first cogwheel, count 1 to 2 seconds in quick secession, jump. Towards the wall to the right of the screen while holding D, then Jump again while holding A. if you did this correctly, You'll hear the jumping animation twice when you hit the 2nd stacked cogwheel, you can recover and gain footing to jump again, towards the 3rd Cogwheel and reach the final stage]
Per the request in your YouTube video I beat your time of 1:16.91 with...
My first clear time was around 6:30-something. It's actually funny. One of my first attempts at trying to beat your time, I actually ended up getting a time of 1:16.9...2. Literally off by a frame.
My two biggest issues were that the clock does not reset when you reset, and input buffering/held jumping.
In section 10 in particular, the first issue is the biggest. You have an error window of about 1 second, and very often you'll end up waiting on the platforms to spawn for well over that.
For the other issue, I often found I held spacebar too long when falling and would accidentally input a jump. A command to trigger a jump should only be triggered by the frame the ButtonDown event is triggered.
Sometimes I have to reset because the gears/platforms are at the wrong position at the wrong time.
For example, there could be 2 seconds left on the countdown, but the platform in front of me is deactivated, so I need to waste those seconds waiting for the platform to activate again, and the countdown runs out through no fault of my own. Basically, everything is unsynchronized and that's a little frustrating.
Also, gears are least platformable shape.
To be fair though, most of this stuff doesn't really matter until the last level. The game is quite enjoyable up until that point.
