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!
