How does your game fit the theme?
In this game you must get higher by jumping on platforms, but you don't have control over jumps (jumping is automatic). Also, your controls depend on the platform you landed. So you are out of jump control and the controls change 'every' jump (depending on level generation).

Nice work! I enjoyed the simple yet fun gameplay and clean graphics. Well done! :)
Thank you for the feedback and playing the game.
Thank you for making it! :D If you want you can try: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/699090
This game's mechanic is not only original, but genuinely really fun! And I really mean that. It was out of control but still easy to understand .. and it felt FAIR, unlike a lot of other games in this jam. I really really liked it.
I'd only change two things:
• There's not much breathing room at the very beginning to really learn the controls without constantly dying a slooow and painful death.
• And related to the first point, the death + restarting sequence could be quicker. This is nitpicking, but I wish it didn't require me to use the mouse to click on a button when all my fingers are on the keyboard.
Otherwise, I really liked it. I'm actually gonna play it again now hahah
Thank you very much for such detailed feedback.
This game makes me go YES!
and your comment makes me go: "Thank you for the feedback and playing the game" :D
I played this game in this video here (11:49):
Thanks for playing and sharing the video, on platforms with vertical lines you must use up and down arrows, to move it up and down.
ok lol i didnt get that far
I got to 49! The moving platforms are mean. "Don't move away nooooo~"
What you have here is something you could probably easily polish up into a full mobile release (just with swipe updown and leftright). Compared to, say, Flappy bird, it even feels less frustrating - I found a lot of situations where I landed on a lower platform when misangling a jump, giving me another chance. :)
Thank you for the feedback, yeah the moving platforms are not ideal, didn't have time to do more playtesting, but post jam release for mobile is very possibly happening, add the game to collection if you want to be updated.
49 is pretty good, my best is 64. :D
nice job! very cool, i would love if you made a mobile version so i could play it when im bored
Thank you for playing and feedback. There probably will be a mobile release post jam, if you are interested add the game to collection I will keep you updated.
Wow this is super addictive. Love the pace of it too, really got my heart racing. Reminds me a little of Doodle Jump, which makes me I wonder if it would work well as a touchscreen mobile game. Ps. My high score is 22
Pps. The one word I would not use to describe this game is "relaxing" 😂
Thank you for the feedback,
Many people want this on mobile so I will probably release it, and I put the word "relaxing" just because it isn't, so that people would "be how is this relaxing?", but more you play it the more Zen it feels. :D
The intuitive controls are very good!
Thank you for playing and the feedback.
This was pretty fun, the cube moved very fast but was good to control!
Thanks for the feedback!
At first I though this was dumb, then, I was playing trying to make a good record. It was great! I could see this as being a fun movile game I would play to loose time. You did a great job
p.d. I made it to 48
Thank you for the feedback. Yeah, I know that game isn't really appealing and hard at begging, but when you get hang of it is kind of fun.
Great score, my personal best is 64.
really fun
I could see myself playing this for a while - climbing higher and higher is intrinsicly fun, and the controls require precision, but you can get a feel for them pretty quickly, and it's rewarding when you do. The presentation is a little basic, though.
Thank you, really appreciate the video. I know that visually isn't really good, but it was my first game jam, also I am a programmer, so I did the best I know and didn't want to use existing assets. I comfort myself that the design is minimalist :D .
very good game, phisics are well done and adictive
i enjoyed even if i only got 13 as a high score
well done
Thank you for the feedback, 13 is actually high, so don't worry.
A nice minigame! ...Not much to add to that though. Ah, the music's simple yet fitting and doesn't get old fast, so I guess that's a plus.

Thanks, your feedback is appreciated.
I have nothing to add, just wanted to say, love it because it's very simple and that it works great. Pure fun, Very nice
Thank you for the feedback, appreciate it.
Easy or difficult, I don't know ^^, fun for sure. Very good game !
I could game for a long time ;)
Thank you, it's difficult until you get a hang for it.
This is so fun! Simple and addicting gameplay. The vertical design and simple gameplay would be perfect for a mobile game.
Thank you for the feedback.
Cool mechanic and fun/fast gameplay!
Thank you!
Hey Thanks for playing my game! I love the way you made the cube move at a certain rythm while controlling the platforms, its an unique take on the usual platforming! I think this would be fantastic as a mobile game. I rated your game and I hope you rated mine too! ^^
Thank you, I have considered releasing it on mobile post jam. I did rate it, don't worry. ^^
simple but fun and creative system! More can be done to improve UI and graphic design
Thank you, still learning graphic design and all connected to that (I am a programmer) so maybe in the future it will be better.
Really fun and original take. nothing really major worth talking about, aside from a little better UI and a higher death section. Really Nice!
Thank you, appreciate it!
