I had a really fun time playing your game! Although, I was very bad at it haha

Echoing some of the other comments, I do wish the character felt a little less floaty during the jumps. I'm not sure the solution is air control or just different physics though.

Thanks for letting me experience such a cute and nice game!

Thanks! I plan to do update right after voting ends and we'll see then :)
experimenting with x2 gravity right now. It does make things feel faster (and even harder) but needs me to ckeck if all obstacles are still doable

Really challenging game, i love the concept, seems like a fun game to have on the phone :D

Submitted

Good game, should've made for PC too.

Submitted

Pretty fun game! A bit hard at times to really evaluate how far we'll land though. I would have enjoyed some air control. Like the fun atmosphere, the sheep noises were really funny. 

Submitted

It's a very interesting game! It was very difficult to get a sense of how far I would go - even if I tried to line up my jumps with the words on the ground, I missed my jumps like half the time. But, that's part of the challenge, I suppose!

The one thing that really frustrated me was that when you hit another ball while running on a ball, you instantly lose. I understand you don't want players to cheese the game by moving really close to the targets, but it didn't really make sense intuitively (I didn't fail my jump after all), and took away what would have been a fun aspect of the physics system.

Submitted

Great game overall, maybe you can add a bit of control to the player after the jump.

Nice Game, it had idle bird vibes! 

Submitted

Nice game!

This just unlocked a memory I forgot I had! I remember a game on the NES that was very similar that I played when I was very little called Circus Charlie. It also contained this scenario, jumping from one ball to another 😁

Well done on your submission! Your idea is well executed, and the game feels fun to play although I am terrible at it lol but that's down to my own bad skill. Playing it, you become engaged trying to beat your previous high score and finally getting it is satisfying. I do agree with the previous comment on here though that some type of air control would work nicely.

Great job!

Submitted

Very easy to understand but hard to master. Good variety of obstacles which makes the game more dynamic (and difficult...).

Great game overall!

(I would suggest some air control as well, but not having it is what makes the game challenging)

Submitted

Nice little game that somehow reminds me of playing games on Atari as a kid. The controls were quite challenging and I only managed to get above 1,000 a couple of times. I like that there is variation in the level when you restart it, I thought you did well to create the graphics yourself, and the music and sound effects were really good.

Submitted

Fun game and a pretty unique concept! Loved the varied obstacles you put in there. I'd echo what a couple of other people said regarding being able to influence the jump left or right slightly while in the air - I think even a small amount of air control might make the jumping feel a bit smoother but it could have a negative impact on the challenge.

Submitted

Simple fun, very hard tho lol

Congrats on the game!!

Submitted

Such a fun thing to see how it took about 10 tries and then something clicked and my head got a sense of the timing. Nice game!

Submitted

Because it took so many tries, I appreciated how many different versions of "Bhah!" You've got in there too
