Extricate

*edited* quick score 3*/5. Decreased because of poor implementation of how deaths are kept track of in speedrunning mode. Super janky feeling for sure but a good bhopping game nonetheless, the cycles really breathe life into the game and makes it feel like its own style of bhop. Level design is good, feels interesting as a slow clear, but then once you start going for diamonds you realize there are some meticulously placed obstacles to guide the route of the player, really impressive actually. Each level feels like its own new thing no obstacle ever really starts to feel repetitive. The game increases the freedom of some movements for an easier for beginner airstrafe. It's similar to typical bhopping but your "arc" doesn't matter, and not syncing properly wont slow you down. Some downsides to this is that you can't use a or d to stop yourself as easily, and S is more of a momentum stop instead of a hard stop, tricky to get used to but overall the game is quite fluid. Lots of bugs in the game, dev seems to have moved on from this project, mostly visual and technical however. A known bug is times being submitted as much shorter than the actual runs, for instance I got a 2 second time on a 8 second diamond but is it doesn't register these as diamonds so you don't feel cheated out of an experience. I was also having problems with diamonds registering but a reset fixed these, the menu would sometimes appear blank but again a reset always fixed and neither of these happened often.
