Thanks for trying it out. Figuring out how to pass the obstacles is part of the challenge; to get over the second hill try holding down for long and do a far jump from a bit further back.

Unfortunately I couldn’t play your game to return the review because it’s the Windows only and I don’t have access to a computer with Windows on it but from the screen shots it looks pretty cool!

Thanks for playing! Go is not yet popular for game development but I would definitely recommend it, especially with the Ebiten library, it has a very clear and simple API.

Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it!

Thanks for the kind words. We tried to keep it “challenging but not impossible”, so that the game has a point that makes it worth playing but short enough that you can actually get the success feeling of finishing it with some practice.

Thanks for the feedback, if you have any advice or ideas on how to make the controls more obvious to the player that’d be appreciated! And thanks for playing! :)

Thanks for the feedback, glad you had fun!

Thanks dude, yeah we did jam a lot of "bug" into this didn't we.
Even after "release" I'm finding quite a few mechanics of the game are bugging people.
Which in my eyes may be a positive thing...thematically at least. :p
Thanks for playing

Thanks for the appreciation, we tried hard to make something that 100% fits the theme in a creative way, like the different meanings of BUG you mentioned 😉

Indeed, we don't all find that dat cricket lyf comes naturally to us. Glad you liked the vibes, it is pretty chill isn't it.

Hopefully the challenge of jumping and the calm music balance each other out! :D Thanks for trying the game!

Hey there, thanks for playing, glad you appreciated the black screen :p 
Getting the jumps right is quite hard, but eventually you can get the hang of it.

Glad you liked that “intentional bug” :) practice makes perfect, thanks for playing our game!

Cheers dude, glad you enjoyed.
Maybe if we were to continue development, there could be a "chill mode" where you may freely vibe to lo-fe beats and hop around without death or darkness.

Thanks for the good wishes and the feedback! The black squares, apart from being an intentional “bug” are also there to give the player some pressure to finish the game with less jumps, bef◼️re the scr◼️◼️n i◼️ cov◼️◼️◼️d.

Well, cheers for giving it a go.
Sorry you didn't find the game visually stimulating, I guess it's not everyone...the life of a cricket.
Bugs do indeed need water to survive, however crickets are very good at drowning, for example people who keep crickets should not actually put pools of water in their enclosures, instead it's better to leave them cotton balls soaked in water, otherwise they can and do drown in very shallow pools of water.
When you get to the end of the game, you should see a screen telling you, you completed it, and it also tells you how many jumps you took.
Unless you discovered a unique bug...in which case + points to you.

First DLC will be the lava level, for a change of scenery ;)

Hey, thanks for playing! In the game the bug drowns because they need air, sorry about that. If you got to the end please post how many jumps it took and we’ll mention your high score on the game page! 😉 And if you have any suggestions on what you’d like to see more of in the game then that’d be really helpful input for us.

Thanks for playing
"bug like" Sounds like success to me!

We were aiming to make it as buggy as we could, thanks for playing!

Thanks for giving it a go

Thanks, the controls are like this to make it easily playable on mobile too. :)

Thanks for playing! Since there is only one level at the moment we didn't want it to be too easy. But with a bit of practice, it can be quite satisfying and with even more practice you might even beat Thesryn's high score

Thanks, it takes a bit of practice to get the feel for it, glad you liked it!

Checkpoints were definitely something we considered since the water can be quite unforgiving. In future we may try to implement a different mechanic. For example, you can land on the surface of water but it limits the strengths of your jumps. Alternatively, we may opt to do multiple shorter levels that present new challenges. For now there is only a single level that requires a bit of practice to complete before the "dead pixels" get too overwhelming. But trust me, I know your pain. Even now I still end up in the water more often than not!

Thanks for all the positive feedback and the ideas on checkpoints. If we have capacity to develop the game further after the jam we might include something like this if the game gets longer or gets more levels.

:p Glad you had fun!
Everyone mentions the jump meter! Time constraints were an issue, but maybe we'll add a DLC :D
Did you get to the end?

Thanks for the feedback, the jump meter is on the top of our list of enhancements to add to the game and the most requested feature from these comments!

If you managed to finish, let us know how much jumps it took and we’ll feature your name with your high score on the game page. 😉

Thank you so much! This comment vindicates the direction we pushed towards in this game. Really glad you appreciated it. I'm going to get the others to read this. Acros did the physical level design and all the art, and Sinisterstuf did all the programming in GO. (I was the guy in the background, being like, "no, do this! Stop concentrating on that!")
Anyway thanks again. I am pleased. I'm gonna go tell the others ;)

Glad you found it addicting! Thanks for playing.
The jump meter, a lot of people seem to have wanted, sadly we didn't have time to experiment with it but, it is what it is.
I've never played "Getting Over It" (But I've looked at it)and I did have it in my mind throughout the process, in the sense that I preferred this game to be, mechanically quite simple, but hard to perfect...and then there is of course the fact that you can mess up and go right to the start!

Thanks for the feedback, interesting comparison! If we’ve got capacity after the jam is over the jump meter is on the top of our list of enhancements to add to the game!
