The movement is smooth and the little extra speed boosts from certain actions are a really cool platformer tech. I think I spent the most time on level 5 trying to get the swing just right to fly up that gap instead of going all the way to the right. Having author times to beat would be fun! ---

Thanks for the feedback. Here are my times: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/7/e/7ede99c95840132494505ffcff9ad6a3abc5a646.png) My personal favorite level to speedrun is level 10, there is a lot that can be optimized. ---

Glad you think so! I made this in about 30-35 hours. This is actually one of my shorter games though, you can check out my profile to see my bigger projects. [Previous page](https://forum.makecode.com/t/the-octopus/43775.md?page=3)
