Simple yet deep mechanic actually, im really amazed you pulled this kind of gameplay idea, good job!

Submitted

unique idea to create a puzzle with the concept that you have to move forward!

Developer

Yeah lol - When i first came up with the idea I was in science 5th period and I got REALLLY BORED so I decided to sneak my phone out and check the theme - and then I drew out some prototyping. Thank god for my teacher being very very lazy and just having the period be study hall.

Awesomeeee!!!!! Finally got around to playing it and really enjoy what you were cooking with! It was supreme :3

Developer

Hello!

Congrats on this work! I find the core gameplay really clever, and I love how you gradually made the mechanics more complex.

I also want to highlight the UX—it’s really well done! The way the text is integrated into the levels and the reminder to press "R" when stuck at the end are great touches. These small details really help make the experience more cool!

As a suggestion for improvement, for better comfort, I might have mapped the jump to the "jump" key to make it feel more intuitive.

Thank you! There's so many ways to get stuck I just gave up and added the R reminder. For some reason the jump animation just wouldn't play when you pressed jump,  so I just ended up not worrying about that too much and mapping it to when you're not on the ground. Thanks for playing my game and glad you enjoyed it!

Really cool puzzle game, I did get stuck a few times in the clouds levels and had to return to the main menu and reload the level, but that just meant I had to really think about if I should make that next move or not!

Overall, nice job!

Developer

Yeah - In the cloud levels you can reset with R, but I should've made that more clear lol

Thanks, glad you liked it! I originally thought my mechanic was gonna be one of the most common, but hey, wouldya look at that.
