A short, fast-paced speedrun platformer demo.

Details
Rushline is a short, fast-paced platformer built around momentum, precision, and smooth movement.
Slide through tunnels, jump past spikes, and chain tight moves together in a single, handcrafted level designed to teach and test your skill.
Made for the 16th Kajam, this is a bite-sized demo focused on satisfying controls, simple visuals, and quick retries — perfect for speedrunning or just a quick challenge.
Features
Pretty good movement, feels great to play! I think you definitely achieved your stated goal.
For some feedback on the keep sliding part, that also took me a couple of tries to get through, and then… I fell afterwards and the checkpoint was all the way back :(
It does seem a bit inconsistent for that part, and I'm sure it might just be a skill issue for me (I'm also not that good at these types of games) but I couldn't just keep pressing D to get to this hard part if that makes sense.
What I mean is, the checkpoint being far away from the keep sliding segment is OK, but it's more fun to me if i can get to the part that I'm struggling quickly, and I feel like those few spikes before it, would force me to stop holding D, and do some careful jumps (which in retrospect I guess acts as a sort of speed bump so that the player thinks before acting?)
Only other feedback I can think of, is that at the start of the game, on the web, there seems to be a bit of freezing. I'm guessing it probably has to do with the particles, in Godot using GPUParticles2D seems to have that sort of effect on the web unfortunately…

I've played for 6+ minutes and gave up at the "keep sliding" over the spikes part. I'm guessing I wasn't even remotely through, right?
It's a good game, it has a nice coherent style, the music fits, the movement feels nice, but precision platformers aren't my thing, too frustrating for an unskilled guy like me.
Great entry!
