Checkpoint!

Janky little side scroller game I mushed together in basically 3 days for GMTK Game Jam 2026. Try to tell the point in which I practically gave up.

You're in this weird valley-like area where you're damned to literally just run in an infinite amount of randomly generated stages, and people kinda hate you, so they will intentionally run into you just to piss you off.

You have 20 seconds to complete each stage, if the time runs out, it's game over.

Controls are in game, don't you worry.
