Hardcore Parkour - Mini Edition

it's a bit too much of a standard platformer(although an unusually hard one). it also lacks flow, forcing the player to stop at certain places to judge a jump rather than go on and jump and dodge on instinct. this makes it mostly like a mario game with less features and no graphics. check out exit path(a series free pc platformers with a dark sense of humor which bring timing into the picture without breaking flow), mirror's edge 2d(a free pv platformer with some great mechanics to help flow) and playman: extreme running(a phone platformer with more great mechanics to help flow, one of the best systems i've ever seen). they are all great 2d platformers with very free and continuous movement. especially playman: extreme running. if you have tf2 you should try the parkour fortress mod by mecha the slag too, even though it's not 2d the pf_ maps are great examples of how to make something both flowing and hard.

Music would be nice, perhaps a way to jump off walls?

You do need to add a new concept to the mix like maybe the ability to do tricks like flips, rolls, wall runs and stuff like 360's when you're running or jumping. You could have a point system or something too that allows you to get points for the speed at which you beat the level, tricks done with possible deductions if you do the same trick multiple times in a row and maybe multiple paths throughout the level that give extra points depending on their difficulty, and if you're going to make your character able to stick to walls and crouch, at least make them useful for something! You could maybe make it to where you could wall jump once to try and save yourself and with crouching you could make it to where when you're running, you quickly crouch then jump for a Mario 64 style long jump. More levels per installment would be nice too instead of repeating the same level over and over. Those are just a few ideas, and this game has the potential to be so much better.

I've seen that rectangle from somewhere else.

i accualy really liked it 5 stars
