The fastest time on record is 4:09 left.

Controls:

  • Move: Left Arrow, Right Arrow
    • You accelerate very slowly on the ground, but reach a respectable top speed.
  • Jump: Up Arrow (on ground, or after a slide in the air)
    • You don't have a limit to how fast you are in the air!
    • If you press Jump just before you hit the ground (7-frame buffer window), your momentum will be conserved (aka a perfect jump). 
      • You will see a puddle at your character's feet when you do this.
      • Interestingly, you can do this when you exit a door.
  • Wall Jump: Hold direction into wall and press Up Arrow
    • You will always kick off a wall at the same speed.
  • Slide: Double tap either Left or Right Arrow (on ground)
    • You will get a quick burst of speed in a direction faster than your top walking momentum.
    • This can be cancelled into anything, meaning that you can either jump or walk out of the slide animation instantly.
      • Great Value wavedash: Slide -> (wait) -> Slide -> (wait) -> ...
      • Instant superspeed jump: Slide -> jump (fast)
  • Go through door: Up Arrow (anywhere, even in the air)
    • If you are bordering an IN! door and you press Up, you will go through it.
  • Dive: Hold Left and Right Arrow (while in air)
    • A manuver that is somewhat useful at certain parts.

Tips and Tricks:

  • For the particularly hard jump to the other clock tower, you have to conserve your momentum! There's no way you'll make it with a simple dash!
    • You'll have to start at a platform and build up speed by via perfect jumps, ending with a perfect jump off the right-side edge of the last building to reach the elevator... but from where?

Updates:

  • v. 1.01: Extremely slight change for sanity reasons: you no longer make the jump sound when you land: instead this has been placed with a lower-pitched footstep.

I wanna say "this game sucks" just because I'm salty I couldn't get to the end. But it is a nice game. I like the feel of it. Nice animations for the character and clean visuals. I enjoy the mechanics of dashing and wall jumping, that sort of thing was fun and I could fly through the levels with enough practice so it felt good zipping through the air.
