Spa day + Leg day,  what  a combo! A perfect example of tying power right into the gameplay. I would love mouse sensitivity options, but I'm probably just salty that I accidentally spun around and walked off the edge out of excitement after getting my high score (10). I also laughed out loud at the visuals/audio when you max out the power bar. Great job!

Developer

Hahaha you deserve a spa day on leg day. I laughed at the visual of you celebrating off the edge. I will definitely consider adding some options like that post jam. Gratz on the score and thanks for playing and commenting!

Really like how the difficult gameplay and cozy vibes are so opposite but still coalesce to a surprisingly chill experience

If this was an English class and my teacher pointed at me to explain the contrast because I made too much or too little eye contact, I would call it juxtaposition while being unable to explain the intended effect. It wasn't exactly planned, but it just sort of worked and I think the atmosphere helped to offset the frustration of the gameplay. Finding zen through punishment, monk-esque, if you will. Thank you for playing and commenting!

I really enjoyed this. I agree with the other comment about it being relaxing - I think the challenge and skill aspect is achievable and not frustrating. I only managed 8 levels, but each one felt good to land!

Developer

I was hoping each jump feel like a relief to land so this great to hear. Thank you for playing and your comment!

This was pretty cool. It was difficult trying to guess how much power was required, but it pushed me to try and keep getting better. The atmosphere was nice with the soft music, rain and wind

Developer

Thank you! I hoped the gentle atmosphere might help to contrast the intrinsic frustration of falling over and over again. It's definitely difficult, I have a few ideas around this concept that I would like to try post-jam to shift it in a slightly less sadistic direction. Thanks again, I really appreciate it!
