Back to Start
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Description
Back to Start is a fast-paced, one-screen arcade platformer where you can’t stop — literally.
Trapped in a looping arena, your character auto-moves from side to side. Dodge hazards that evolve each cycle and score a point every time you survive the full loop.
- ⚡ Constant automatic movement
- 🧠 Simple rules, challenging execution
- 🎮 Made in ~10 days for the Untitled Game Jam.
How to play
- When you press [<]/[A] or [>]/[D] the player starts moving automatically in the selected direction.
- Press [W] or [Space] to jump.
- Avoid falling into lava.
- When you bounce from the wall at the end, you score a point.
- There are 3 types of platforms:
- Normal: Default, you can normally stand on it
- Yellow: You can jump onto it from bottom
- Aqua: You can bounce and change direction (you don't get a point from it)
Note: This is an early jam version. More updates may come in the future!
