This is my submission for the GameMaker's Toolkit Jam of 2019

I unfortunately didn't have as much time as I would of liked to make something that really sells the idea but I think it is an interesting interpretation of the theme at least.

Not too much to explain. Use the arrow keys to move/jump/walljump. There are hints in-game.

This certainly has a potential. I have a couple of negatives:

1 - I think it could have done with a few more levels at least. You introduce new mechanics but never explore them much (enemies, keys, walljumps).

2 - The running seems to be this way intentionally, but I don't get the point since you can just cheese it just by alternating left/right and build up momentum. I'd go for a simpler but still tight horizontal movement.

Cool idea. Would like to see more levels from this.

I really like this. I'd love to see this developed further. It almost turns it into a strategy/puzzle game. It feels like it takes a bit too long to get started running, though. I get what you were going for with the momentum mechanic, but it feels a little too heavy to me. Really cool idea though, and I hope you decide to continue with this!
