This is nice! I like how time slows down which gives you chance to prepare your jump (or make adjustments if it shows up as tails). Some nice puzzle/platforming elements as well. Good work!

I like how the level builds up and requires carrying out the right reaction depending on the flip's outcome. Interestingly, this felt not much different from ordinary platforming experiences where one keeps reverting and retrying — both are luck after all, I guess.

It's really tricky lining everything up just right, but I love the idea and had fun playing it! I like the little delay between the result of the flip and the action, giving you just enough time to begin planning your movement out. Great work!

I struggled with this one a bit! The idea is funny but I found it really difficult to use in practice, since I found it just made all of the platforming take longer. Coyote time, having the player move with the platforms, a quicker coin flip would all make it a bit easier to manage (of course if it's meant to be intentionally frustrating I'd disregard those changes. I like the art, coin flip animation especially looks very smooth. Nice work getting it done in time.

Thank you for the feedback. I didn't get a chance to do much playtesting unfortunately, so any critiques are very appreciated! It definitely turned out to be a bit harder than I had hoped.

Very interesting! The coin is such a key element. It’s quite challenging overall, but once i get the hang of it, it’s really fun!

Very interesting! Having both sides of the coin be necessary is tricky yet very fun. Well done!
