Cool game!

holy heck you won't believe it, but I did it first try. There was some real close calls though. I think it's because my game has a similar jumping/climbing feel to it so I have practice lol. Great job! I like seeing who was throwing the barrels.

Developer

Thanks and well played!

I wasn't the best at this game, but I had fun playing it! simple fun concept!

Don't worry, I made the game yet I find it quite hard to get to the end every time

I cleared the whole game in under a minuet on my first try!! I have tons of experience jumping in a similar way from playing so many hours of my game LOL. Great simple one button game concept, fun 60 seconds. 

Developer

Thank you and well played!

Really addicting game! Once I played a few rounds I was like, "ok Ive seen it all" but the dream of getting to 60 and wanting to know whats on top kept me playing. I have now seen it all!

Developer

Thank you!

Cool! I like the tension when I'm on my last jump

We actually have similar movement with the mouse direction and boosting in our game.

Developer

thank you, I will be sure to check out your game

While this game seems very simple and plain on the surface, it is actually very addicting! Despite the minimal presentation and absence of sounds, it is still stimulating enough to chain jumps and plan movement! This is a great concept, if I were you, I'd explore it further post jam. Well done!

Developer

Really, thank you so much! this really means a lot. did you manage to finish the game, its not infinite you know, I mean the ending is quite underwhelming but you can finish it, also originally the barrels where supposed to be bombs that would knock  you away, the idea was that you could use them to knock yourself up by jumping into it from above, but it was too hard to do

Unfortunately I didn't get to the end, I managed to pick up 52 bolts until I gave up, I assumed the game was endless, but getting to the end might be a neat excuse to try it out some other time!

Developer

you were like 3 jumps away..

Nice small little game, could use some sounds. Also i noticed the barrels decrease your charge, but that wasnt visually really clear. Consider making a standalone build next time too, browser games run bad for me

Developer

I am bad with ui so I just made the characters change colors, I can see how that wasn't clear, I will add something like an energy bar next time I do something similar, thanks for feedback

No, i actually like the absence of UI, all im saying the barrels dealing "damage" could use maybe a particle or two
