Great idea for a hard game :P

Getting the right jump and having no control over the direction makes this challenging.

At first, I wondered if the scale would change on collision but much later I saw that “TINY” timer on the top left. I’d suggest increasing that size or switching it to a different method like animating the ink blob itself. Great attempt nevertheless!!!

Switching the size by time and one-button gameplay are interesting ideas. I was thinking it might be fun to have an ejection force bar to visually control the force of the ejection.  

My team's game also has scaling character gameplay and gives different jumping abilities at different sizes, but instead of a fixed time, it's left to the player to decide the time. Anyway, it's a fun game

I'd say combining the two jam prompts was a wonderful idea and led to a pretty unique creation! Colors were simple but communicated exactly what they needed to for a game of this type. I think the timing system for the shifting size had advantages and disadvantages - I liked the timing being integrated into how the character traversed the world, but also felt like I had to wait for a while to input my desired actions. But I understand that you're fairly limited by the control scheme, so I thought it was executed pretty well given that!

Really original idea! The game is quite challenging. Congrats!

The idea is super original, and it's great that you took the opportunity to combine the themes of two Jams. It took me a bit to get used to the jumps, but the game is really entertaining. Good job^^

Pretty good! Nice idea combining 2 jams in one game, I think it made the game better.

I like the game being hard, but maybe tapping the space bar to turn, instead of going against a wall, would make it a bit more accessible.

Good job!

Great game! The concept is simple but very challenging. The moments when you fall all the way down to the next screen is painful but I think is needed in a game like this. I know you can only use one button, but I could see lots of interesting things coming from just adding another button haha - Nice job and best of luck!

A Jump King that scales!

Really solid gameplay!

I was not able to finish it. I went far, but then a mistake punished me! ):

I will retry it for sure because the challenge was well-balanced! (If I manage to win I will update the comment)

Good job!

Very original idea and great execution! To be honest, I couldn't progress past screen 2, but I found the game quite satisfying to play (when you actually do things right 😅) and pleasing to look at. Great job!

Very addictive! Simple and hard at the same time. The game has a very big potential and hope to see it on mobile. Really loved visualizing charging through character eyes) Great work!

An interesting and fun mechanic that is soul crushing when you fall quite a distance. I would have loved a charge indicator to let me know how far I was jumping each time. Very good work!

i like it. the non AABB collisions provided an extra level of difficulty.  definitely in the frustratingly difficult camp of games, especially when falling through multiple screens.

I like the nice and clean art style and the jumping sound effect. Congrats on completing your first jam. The game can be a bit frustrating but I think it is fair overall. I appreciate that you put a scale timer in the top left corner of the screen.

Good work!
