Cool and simple game, we enjoyed playing it.

Developer

Thank you!

Gameplay: Simple gameplay that worked very well. I would have liked if you could use r to restart when you died. The generated level was nice too.

Graphics: The graphics were good. A few more animations maybe bounces for the platforms could help.

Audio: The music was nice, it was cool that you had death music. SFX like death and bounce (for both the blue and yellow platforms) would be nice.

Innovation: Pretty good. 

Theme: A girl named Ranger has lost her spaceship. You get one shot to get her back home to the moon before her oxygen runs out..

Overall: Good game, especially for your first jam.

Can you try (and review) my game?

Developer

Thank you for playing and the great feedback. I will try and implement some of the suggestions on a post-jam update. 

I already played and reviewed your game. You did good work on that!

The implementation is great done. Nice graphics and good gameplay.

Congratulations for the game.

Developer

Thank you so much!

Very cute art style, I had fun with this and managed to get Ranger home. Music was nice as well!

Developer

Glad you got to finish it! Thanks for playing.

Great submission, congrats on your first jam!

If you wanna work on a post jam version, I think you could add more sprites for the character (for falling, jumping, jumping at high speed, dead, etc). Also, the distance to the Moon on screen could be great to have a sense of progression. Finally, I'm not sure but maybe the background could get improved by using some layers and parallax.

Once again: good job! Keep motivated and working!

Great feedback for a post-jam update. Thank you for playing!

It reminded me of sonic jump :-)

The graphics and sound were good, but you should spice it up a bit with some polishing and animations: check the "juice it or lose it" video for some inspiration

Developer

Will definitely check it out. Had to cut things out like animations due to time. Thank you for playing and the feedback.

What a cute game! I absolutely adore the art and music, and the gameplay was very fun! I'm always satisfied when I can get through a game jam game without having to dedicate a whole lot of time to it. Great job!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! It makes me so happy to read you enjoyed it and had a good time.

Great remake from Doodle Jump hehehe, I miss thing like monster that complicate your journey, and a way to get more oxygen.

Furthermore, be careful because some special platforms are overlapping with normal ones.

But if you continue improve it could be a great and addictive game :D
PS: Fabulous music!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing and the feedback. I will keep all of this in mind if I make a post jam update. Glad you enjoyed the music!

Cute character and awesome soundtrack! Wasn't able to get Ranger home but had a lot of fun trying. The game is hard haha.

Would love to see some jump animations on Ranger, would really add to the overall visuals. Same for the jump pads too, they could have a squash animation. You could also add a special sound effect for getting the boost pads, would make players feel extra good about getting those jumps.

This would be perfect for a mobile game! Hope you make a port for mobile :)

Developer

Thank you for playing and all the great feedback. I am so happy you had fun! A mobile port sounds like a great idea.

Really nice game! With a very catchy tune, love it!

Well done!

I made it back home! yay!

Developer

Oh wow, thank you for playing and the lovely feedback on the game. Ranger must be happy to be back home!

Cute game! Could maybe add a hard mode with extra obstacles! :)

Developer

Thank you for playing and the feedback. Definitely something I will add if I make a post jam update.

Very nice "jumper" game. Very nice visuals/audio! Excellent controls.
I manage to get at 701 distance. Was I close to getting her back home?
A few air bubbles to replenish some oxygen will definitively would have been a great addition (maybe in a small post-jam update) but all game jammers quickly learn that we have to cut features in order to meet the jam deadline ;-)

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing! You were close to getting her home. Having oxygen pickups to replenish the oxygen bar was definitely one of the features I had in mind but cut out due to time. A post jam update sounds like a great idea.

It's funny, that I also started learning Unity in July this year and this was my first game Jam too. In the beginning I thought, this will get boring soon, but it really did not. Always a small challenge to hit the blue platforms. A bit of animation would make the flow of this game even better. I had so much fun playing this.

Developer

That is so awesome that we both started at the same time and share this as our first game jam. Thank you for playing the game and it makes me so happy you had fun playing it. I hope the jam was a great experience for you as it was for me.

It definitively was an amazing experience. There is so much to learn. I hope we see each other again in Game Off 2021! xD

Really nicely executed take on this classic game genre. I actually liked that the platforms could overlap, it made it challenging to hit the correct one at times. Very satisfying to hit the blue platforms :)

Developer

Thank you for playing. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I really liked this game. Probably the most purely fun game I've played on this jam so far. It isn't necessarily the most innovative, but goes to show that doing something elegantly and well means more than doing something ambitious poorly. So congrats on that.

Also, your UI and user friendliness is sooooo much better than anything I've seen thus far. That was such a big strength.

Though simple, the gameplay was engaging and fun. My one complaint was that there was no in-game UI for my current height or high score (unless I missed something obvious), so I couldn't see how I compared. I think it would help replay to add a little tension for the player to know when they are close/how close they are to improving on their last run.

And maybe a nitpick. There were some instances where the blue booster pads were almost on top of the pink ones, but I was blocked from accessing them. Consider adding some code to prevent an overlap of pads. 

Overall, excellent game and great design on all fronts. I really enjoyed it. 

Developer

Thank you so much for playing the game and leaving such a constructive response. All of your points are great areas for improvement and I will be sure to implement them.
