Back to Start

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 purely with Python/Pygame.

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!
