Very challenging, but nice looking game! I included it in my compilation video series of all of the GBJam 5 games, if you'd like to take a look :)

I managed to go to the stars, but it requires a lot of effort and patience. I liked the tricks touch even if I just managed to do once by luck. Overall it is a fun game yet simple game.

Simple but fun!

- UPDATE -

Hi all, just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing my entry for GBJAM 5.

Just to let you know, the game has been updated to make things a little easier as I understand a lot of people were finding this really hard!

Let me know your highscores!

Enjoy!

This game is really hard!

For me the time window is too small (the one that did the gifs is really good timming).

The graphics are pretty, but they break the illusion of a GB game (even using 4 colors).

I miss some music in the game too.

Anyway this is a good game, you did a fantastic work!

I thought I was doing pretty well, then I looked at the gif you posted. I am not good. My best was about 12

I kept trying and trying over and over again haha. Really hard game, cool concept :)

This is insanely hard! I can't get more than 6. Fun game still.

Love the graphics and the cloud effects. I have no idea how you are able to do the tricks shown in your gifs! Like the other commenters, I tried for a long time and certainly wasn't able to get a very high score. I really like the simple idea, and it looks like it can get pretty intense and fun... I guess it was just a bit hard for me.

My high score was 6. And I tried for maybe 5min, can't be bothered to continue when I can hardly get to 2 jumps.

I was barely able to go 12 jumps in a row on my one lucky streak. There's like the tiniest amount of time you're able to jump. I didn't feel like I was doing anything different between my good jumps and the fails. It annoyed me before I could get to a fun bit.
