This is a nice one!
Such a simple idea but it's so fun and challenging.
I’m glad to hear that!
Really nice game. Simple but good.
I made it to 42 at my second try, but I have no urge to play it again, which is a little sad. Sorry.
The concept is really great.
Feel free to try out our game.
I glad you liked it! 42 is really good for your second try. You are way better at this game than me lol.
So you put the last character to unlock to a score you can't reach yourself? :D
40 was my high score after hours of play testing lol. That’s why it’s not a more normal number like 50.
nice mechanic! great keeping with the theme.
Thanks!
Love the fact that as i got used to the game , i notice the platform getting shorter and lasting shorter time to bump up the challenge :D
I'm glad you noticed that!
Nice and easy to get in to. Had a few jumps that seemed impossible but perhaps it's just really tight. Good concept :)
Thanks! Here's a tip: you can jump onto a platform from under it, so you don't have to jump around it to get on top. That might help with some of the tricky jumps.
I like how the gameplay leaves some space for planning even when the levels are completely random!
Good job! :-)
Thank you, that's great to hear!
I really liked the sound design for this especially. The jump and landing sounds were really satisfying. At first, I didn't realize I had a triple because I was jumping too late and didn't end up jumping off the platforms so I though the game was too difficult, but after realizing I had a triple jump it was a really nice, relaxing experience lol.
The only suggestion I'd make is that fading out the alpha for the platforms is good, but isn't the greatest visual feedback for the timing of when the collider actually disappears. Having them fade in is good though so you can plan your next move, but I think having some kind of countdown would allow players to know when to jump so they can maximize their distance.
I glad you liked the sounds! I've received similar suggestions from other people. If I decide to expand on this project after the jam, I am planning on telegraphing the platforms better.
Really fun game, great use of the theme!
Thanks!
Very nice arcade game! Would love a shortcut to instantly start playing at a higher difficult though, as the start is rather slow and easy after a while of playing. Also I would prefer, if the bubbles that indicate how much jumps you have left would stay in place instead of rotating around the character. Other than that: great game, very mobile friendly as well!

Good game , well polished .if only it was on mobile .
Thanks! I seem to be getting a lot of requests to put it on mobile. I'll absolutely consider it.
I got a score of 34 ! Very addictive, this would do a good mobile game :)
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
really cool graphics and gameplay, really ran with the idea. good job.
i'll be glad if you check my game.

Thank you! I'll definitely play your game.
Edit: Just played it. Good job!
Had fun playing it, couldn't unlock everything but managed to get a high score of 18 :)
I'm glad you had fun!
Simple, fun and well designed from a to z.
Well Done.
Thanks!
I really like the premise of this game, it's simple, makes sense, fits the theme, and was implemented really well, so cool cool
Thank you!
That's a cool game! Idea is fun, and the way game feels to you is pretty unique. I liked it so much! Hope that you give mine to a go too! It is a platform game too, check it out! :D

Thanks! I'll definitely play yours.
This is so precious for me, thanks!
Cool game! I would like to have more time for the beginning of the game, like the next platform will fade a bit earlier so you have the time to find your trajectory. Apart from that it's a great game!
I'm glad you liked it! I think that would be a good idea.

Just played it :)
pretty good game! i think the platforms should fade out faster though. it looks like we thought of the same concept but executed it differently! in our game you get to move the only platform.
Thanks! I saw your game and it looks fun, I'll definitely play it.
It's rather nice and fun. Maybe lowering the height of any platforms which spawn when you are lower would be good. Overall, rather nice
Thank you! I'll see if I can readjust the height of the platforms. That seems to be the trickiest number to get right.
Thanks!
