This isn’t my kind of game, but thank you for the checkpoints. I’m not sure if they were intentional, but there a couple of issues of readability that I ran across:

  • On the first screen, if you are in the valley with the bonus (?) item, your health bar covers up your jump bar. By that point in the game, I didn’t have a sense of timing on the jump bar that was good enough to know when to jump without visual feedback, so it became trial and error to get out of there (and I wasn’t even sure if I could).
  • On the third screen, there’s a one-tile-high ledge on the right side that somehow I kept colliding with while jumping if I was right against it. I’m not sure if that was a bug.

Really cool, clever mechanic and good level design. Getting the gems is bloody hard, but I guess that is why they are a challenge! 

Developer

Thank you for playing!

It's cool, I like the music and the slime and the jump mechanic is original I think !

Developer

Thank you!

Nice game. I like the challenge and the overall mechanic. One time I almost finished a part of the level and the health bar ran out. That was something for my mental health :)

Good job, keep it up!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

I made it! 10 minutes, 21 tries and 1 crystal.

Cool game. I really like the idea of a platformer with really restricted, almost frustratingly so, controls - kind of made it feel like a puzzle having to decide exactly where to jump from.

Nice one!

(I did encounter a slight glitch. I dropped down to a previous level but the camera didn't follow. I jumped around randomly for a bit and it eventually it snapped back when I made it back to the previous level before. Sorry I don't know exactly where it was.)

Thank you for playing! 10 minutes is such a good result! 

Will work on camera glitch, thanks for noticing it

Insanely difficult for me, I could not get past the 3rd room, with the 4 floating blocks. Congrats on this one though, I'm sure a lot of people will love this.

Very challenging game but also pretty rewarding, moving felt a bit slow sometimes but good job :)

A nice platformer! I like the obvious influence of Jump King without it being a copy. It would be nice to add in a little more control of some kind, like in Jump king you can jump straight up to sort of test a jump without committing, and because this game doesn't have that ability, it would be cool to see some other buff to the movement. I also like the more level based approach, so you can get the feeling of accomplishing a difficult section without the risk of losing a ton of progress, which Is great. 

Overall very fun!

Developer

Thank you! Haven't played Jump King but will definitely check it out!

An enjoyable little RAAAGE...

...game.

My only feedback is to raise all the speed-related numbers in your code. It feels a bit too slow at the moment, like it is playing in slow-motion.

Being able to launch a little before all movement/sliding has finished would make it even more fun and smooth too, though this could be difficult to implement.

Excellent work with this ga- GET. no. GET U!- NO DONT FAL- goddangit. STAHP- no. ok. i can do it this time. GE- uhhhhh. NO! ooooh... ... ... K!!!!-yes. did it. finally. ok *phew* next stage...

Simple controls, cute graphics, hard gameplay, could be a bit faster in some way but well done anyway

Developer

Thank you ! After the jam will try to figure out how make it a bit faster

Cool simple "jump" platformer, hard but challenging! Good game!

Developer

Thank you !

Cool game. It was a bit difficult but in a good way. At one point the jump bar was behind health bar but I managed to make it out. 

Developer
