Interesting mechanics and level design.
I have finished the game and it is really fun. As someone who makes games, I am dreadful at art but I absolutely love the art style in this game. I also really enjoy the jumping between walls but trying to jump downwards at the super dash area you often end up jumping backwards or jumping too far so a little more control over the jump would be great. How the light works is really nice. The jump animation is so great with the way it bends with Bip and its feed back is superb due to the sounds. The dash feels really nice to use although the lasers could do with a bit of delay of partial extension and full extension like an animation.
The final laser level was really fun when I was doing well although was too challenging to finish so I skipped it after many attempts of completion
The music is lovely, creating a nice and relaxed experience. The sounds and particles to go with picking up sparks is great and provides really satisfying feedback.
The running away from spider part feels quite unfair as I died an awful lot and often felt like the super jump needed to slow time a bit so i could get it angling correctly.
A serious issue I have ran into is that the game makes my computer's fan extremely loud, I recommend enabling V-Sync in the project settings or allowing the user to set their frame rate. I have found this to resolve this issue with some of my previous projects.
If you are interested to know, I found this game in most recent section and thought the icon looked interesting although i feel like the game art is much better and the icon's style isn't similar to the game's.
All in all I found this a really enjoyable experience for such a short game.
Great little game-! I'm impressed with the fulid movement and level design.
