Daamn, this look really good, but is the 3rd level bugged or am I just stupid? :))
Same thing happened to me, tried to parry it but the character didn't bounce that far. Great game though! (nevermind, didn't read the controls)
You can parry downwards!
There are some bugs but the game is completely doable. Hope you figure it out 😉
Nahh cz why did u make the last one so hard :)). Great game
To make the run time longer. Jk. Was rushing the level design and didn't have enough time to polish it since we had to go somewhere. Will go back to it again if I have more time and might even add some levels and bug fixes.
