Hi everyone. My new game has just been released. It's a 2D platformer with a timer and split system built in, so it can be speedrun easily.

Please check it out if it sounds interesting. I also have a couple of free keys available, so message me if you want one of them (first come first serve).

Is there a demo to try before you buy?

I just realised the PM system isn't working yet, so I'll post the keys here:

JCTHE-QFP0Y-WXVPK L0RCZ-48I4I-VVDQE

There is no demo but if you watch the video it should give you a fair idea of the gameplay.

How are the controls? Please be honest - I can't play anything that's too input heavy, too many buttons required, or can't be mapped to keyboard.

Also, approximate length?

It's arrow keys (left, right, up to jump), plus 1 attack button, so should be pretty straightforward. Length really depends on experience - I would say under 20 minutes once you get decent at it.

A couple more keys for anyone interested:

I would be willing to play it, I'll look into speedrunning it in the future. I am new to speedruns myself, but I'd like to see your hard work pay off. I'll probably purchase it on Friday. Game looks pretty cool! I'm actually quite inexperienced when it comes to 2D platformers, so I'd like to give this a shot! If you want, I could help get this game submitted to the website, and make you a moderator as well if you'd like! It's late, so I'll be signing off, and also, this is my first forum post!

Thank you, any support would be much appreciated! I hope you enjoy the game.

The game is now up on speedrun.com: https://www.speedrun.com/super_novel_collector_speedrun_edition

Is there an email address we can request a key through?

Completely forgot that this thread existed, I was gonna go set up the game myself but it looks like you did that already! I submitted a run, I'll look to get more support this game from friends

Congrats on the run. I'm going to try to do another one myself before the end of the year if I have time.

The world record is now just 17 seconds away from breaking the 20 minute mark!

Guess who broke the 20 min mark

Congrats! Nice finish. You always do the last level so quickly whereas that's where I lose all my time.
