How does your game represent Mode?
For the theme "Mode", my game is inspired by the band Depeche Mode. Specifically their song "Enjoy the Silence", whose music video depicts one of the band members dressed as a king, wandering the land with a blue folding deck chair.

Interesting idea! But man, I am really bad at this. I had a really hard time imagining what arc a chair was going to send me on. And there was an awfully big price to pay for getting it wrong at the top of a tall room!
Hard but good! It does get frustrating at times but it always makes you want to get back for more. Great entry!
Good Concept reminded me of jump king
It was frusturating to play , i kept falling back it almost made me break my keyboard , so it was great , keep it up!
23:30. I think this is likely the greatest Depeche Mode-type game of all time. I had a blast playing, and I'd love to see more work in the future. Everything felt great.

I curse you, and your entire family lineage for having created this game... 5/5 stars in all categories though great job job on this! I could see this being great to speedrun.
Right back at you with your game. It was honestly infuriating at times.
I respect you even more now for putting yourself through the same sort of suffering I did...

It's like jump king except you set up jump pads to play the level for you. Kind of cool. Very original.
It's a cool and fun idea, though I felt like it was too hard to execute a bounce, leading to a lot of trial and error with slightly different chair positions.
Also, I learned very early on that you can stack chairs in one spot to get a lot more height than is probably intended.
Really like the graphics and I like the chair mechanic! Agree with others, I would have really appreciated some sound, but still nice work
Nice idea and well executed. Frustrating at times but thats part of the genre I guess. :)
I like the idea of having to place yourself the things that make you complete the game. It's a very interactive way of moving through the level, you can do it in many ways, so it's not repetitive. I was wondering why it had no music but now that I see that is inpired by that song I kind of... enjoy it, get it?
Anyways, really fun game, you did a good job on this jam :)
I’ve thought about including a lawn chair in a game before, but couldn’t find a way to fit one in as much more than an easter egg. So I gotta say I love the mechanic here. It’s really difficult but satisfying when you get a jump streak going!
Great job! Really unique idea, wonderfully executed. Really enjoyed getting creative with the placement of the folding decks and bouncing around to solve the levels. Good job!
Wonder what came first, Jump King or Depece modes music video! Time to find out. great idea, better execution!
Fun game! It definitely delivered on the "difficult but addicting". Also funny train of though on how your game relates to the Jam theme.
I think I'm not that good at videogames to be playing this but I made a bounce zone with multiple chairs and I was FLYIN
I really like the idea of this. its a super good idea. however i feel like the lack of audio takes away from it a bit. but, even without sound, its a really good mechanic and if this was on the SNES i would probably be playing it all the time growing up. good job!
I admire the commitment to your theme but it was a bit too frustrating for me.
