Created in two weeks for the ICG ALLSTARS 2025 x NIGHT CITY jam with a theme of Going Fast. All entries had to include an in-game timer and a way of recording players' best times. The four optional themes were: beach debris, evil lizard wizard, Chicago style, and ancient sewers.

Love it!

I am delighted by almost every aspect of this. The custom godot loading screen made me cackle. Really fun concept done in a creative way.

music gr8 and pretty cool concept overall

Super fun way to play with the theme of needing a leaderboard. Music was fantastic. When you get a power up and the music changes to be the duration of the power up *chefs kiss*. It took me too long to realize you could double jump, and before then I kept bonking my head.

This is so fun! I love the idea that the credits are the game and that the letters are different powerups, etc.  Super creative :)
