Nice game. It will be great to add some statistics at the end of the run (time and number of death, forks, jumps, etc.) to motivate to perform again.

Funny you should say that because similarly other games I've made you originally were able to see stats like a death count via the pause menu, plus how many forks minimum was needed to complete each room and how many you had used that screen, late in development I took these out to put more to establishing the Pitchfork concept. But could bring things it back for future things. Thank you for playing :)

Yep this is definitely has more precise movement than the other platformers I've put out, and I did release a short demo of it couple of months ago, if that was what you're thinking?

Appreciate you playing :)

that must be the one im thinking of !

How long is the approximate playtime?
