Good action game! Really enjoyed the pacing, and the difficulty is challenging, but not bullshit frame perfect stuff. 8/10
Music is a bop :) 10/10
Thanks!
I became very sad when I touched the saw blades. Good game.
Thanks for playing! Sorry about the sadness...
Such a fun game, I like the little touches. Like the fact the timer doesn't start until you move, and the way the block shifts when it moves. One thing I would change is color. I think the fact that the danger color changes adds unnecessary difficulty. Especially in these games were peripheral vision is key to positioning yourself I would have stuck to one saw color. But I had a lot of fun with the game!
Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!
