Awesome simplistic platformer.
"Upgrading" sound is a very cool idea :D

Thanks!

The idea of the music evolving as you got more powerups came from my lack of experience making music, so I made simple music loops, but that felt too repetitive, so I made it so different parts of the music get added as you get powerups, which both made the music feel less repetitive and gave a better sense of progression.

Very challenging platformer, especially the boss at the end.

Maybe add a timer in the corner (if anyone decided to try and speedrun this)?

Oh trust me, people have and will try to speedrun this

The current WR is at 1:46.96. I tried to design this game so it is fun to speedrun, and the people who have tried speedrunning have considered it to be fun.

Thank you for informing me of Piehats WR Akliant

whos akilant? never heard of him

Akilant? I never mentioned an Akilant, only an Akliant

Thanks for playing the game!

About adding a timer in the corner, good idea, since pico8 lets me use the direction arrows, C and X, and as X is currently unmapped, I could make it toggle/untoggle a timer at the corner. (there's already a timer at the end so it isn't a really big deal, and people have already started speedrunning it)
