I played through a couple of worlds, and eventually, it crashed on me right before the level at the end of a world. Just suddenly the exe wasn’t running anymore, and I was staring at my desktop. Not sure what happened.
Really fun though. Would love to see some more story, and maybe some power ups. I would probably still be playing in a few hours if it hadn’t Crashed to my desktop.
The first time I played this game, I played through a couple times to try to improve my highscore and clear the whole board. I'm really glad I came back to it today... Wow, that emptiness is the exact opposite of the pride one would expect to feel after beating a game. This was really cool!!
so cute! Love the level select screen, the simplicity of it and the way you can move in game vertically as well. I made a similar game (https://rogerty.itch.io/nippen), now I think this should be a new genre. Atari platformer <3
If I make a new one, I also want to make a cave-level! :D Why are these graphics so compelling?
Excellent work. I will say getting cut definitely hits a lot harder when you have responsibilities you're neglecting to play.
At first it's a fun little romp, but the more you see that message the more things change. Not just the levels, but you too. You get impatient, try to move faster, only to make more mistakes. But the clock is ticking, and this is where you will bleed. Soon things start blending together, what made the levels distinct before is now just another part of the game, and as the enemies are replaced with hourglasses and the familiar skulls from the tower you can only become more aware of how much you've bleed. Eventually things devolve entirely, as if you've finally outrun the treadmill but now the once vibrant levels are dull and grey. There's nothing for you to see here anymore, only the ticking of the clock persists. This spreads to the game as a whole until you're left with nothing at all. Nothing but yourself and the blood you've spilt along the way.
Does it speak to the consumability of games? How we can never truly see those vibrant and beautiful worlds as we did the first time we played through them? Perhaps more so to our willingness to sink what little time we have into them, procedural, randomly generated games allowing for infinite play, infinite fun, infinite cuts. It's difficult to say. Make no mistake my friends, this is indeed a horror game. One much more terrifying than you can ever imagine.

ahh omg im so bad at this game
Really fun and smooth platformer! I never died or saw "data corrupted" stuff, and I am intrigued by the "all cut but the last one kills" message.
Overall, really well done!
Fun game, and clever twist! I especially like tha- [data corrupted, press any key to restart]
