Decently fun for what it is. The movement is too floaty and the collision too imprecise to really qualify as a "speedrunning" game. That said, I still found myself enjoying the process of optimizing my times and finding the best routes through a level. I would have appreciated some additional movement mechanics to spice things up, such as wall-jumping. It's also my opinion that the player's velocity does not need to be constant at all times. While sliding the player could gain a slight speed boost. While in mid-air, the player could hold the "down" button to fast-fall. Small additions like this would make finding those optimal routes more interesting. Art could also use some work. There is not much cohesion in the theme and color choices - simple polygons and a higher-contrast background would be more visually appealing to me. Overall, you could do much worse for $1.99.
