Escape The Cycle
Escape The Cycle
Run, jump and push your way to the end. And then do it again. And again.
Tread lightly: every rock stays pushed, every unstable platform stays broken.
Warp your way through five cycles to break free and Escape The Cycle.
~ Controls ~
- [Left]/[Right] to run and push rocks
- [X] to jump (hold to jump higher!)
- Hold [Z] to give up and start fresh
If you're really stumped - here's video proof that you can escape the cycle!
This game is built from @mhughson's fantastic Advanced Micro Platformer - Starter Kit

I love the game’s retro art style. It’s quite tough but enjoyable.
I would Like to point out a few things. I noticed that the mid-air controls are very insensitive.. controlling while in the air is not easy. Also maybe the coyote time could increase, I couldn’t jump sometimes when I’m running toward the edge of a platform. and lastly, the inertia of your movement while in the air stays even after you touch the ground which makes making a stable landing without slipping hard.
Other than that it was quite fun… All the best :)
Thanks (and for the feedback!)
I suspect most of the mid-air/jump is due to a bit of last-minute tweaks I made after I discovered that you could jump over a lot of the spike pits if you timed it right!
Constraints are both a blessing and a curse when it comes to the weekly game jam!
Amazing game, my daugther played for hours :)
Oh wow- thanks for letting me know :D
It's quite hard, but concept and graphics are amazing!
Thanks :) I keep meaning to put together a walktrough video just to prove it can be done :D
