A downloadable game for Windows

Platformer video games have traditionally sacrificed realistic physics in favor of enjoyable gameplay. This makes me sad. But rather than curse the darkness, I decided to do something about it. Coily uses a fully realistic Newtonian physics engine, without regard for frustration or playability. That's why this game is better.

Since everything besides the backgrounds is done, I decided to do a second speedrun: 

I'm interested in what others think of this kind of difficult games, could you share some links of other people playing this game? That would help a lot, because I'm also making games.

And a new wave of players might come, since I posted it in the Recommend a Game thread.

Awesome, thanks for the speedrun and recommend thread!  I'm also interested in what people think of these kinds of games, Getting Over It and its ilk.  They're not for everyone but they seem to have their audience.

The only other playthroughs I've gotten are these (very old) ones, back before I had playtesters and the game was unplayably difficult:

Thank you so much! Yeah, I see what you mean by saying that it was unbearable. Especially for a viewer it would get boring very fast looking at one level for so long.

unplayable* :)

You checked the game status as released, but top rooms have no background images, will you not be adding them?

Hi sheudler!  Yes, I plan to eventually add art to those rooms.  I marked it released because the level design and everything else is done, so I'm calling it finished for now.

Love the game.  I think it has great potential.

I did a speedrun to show it off: 

Feel free to embed this video anywhere you want, if you think it could help with marketing.

This is great, thanks!  Glad you liked it :)
