How does your game fit the theme?
The player doesn't get to choose when to jump, its necessary to get used to platforming when you can't control when you start jumping. You now have to deal with the consequences of jumping when you DONT want to. There are also a couple secrets, try to look out for weird/different looking walls! (You can read more about my thoughts on the jump timer mechanic on the game page if you're interested!)

Definitely one of the more polished games I've played thus far and was really fun to stream. Ya'll nailed it!
Haha, you say "yall" like multiple people made it. Believe it or not, I did everything, I didn't sleep for 2 days... I'm glad you liked the game though!
then even more props to you! Very impressed!!!
Polished and music at the start is way too cute :)
i struggled a bit to keeping track of the jump progress bar at moving platforms , i guess that's how the crystal mafia works.
i am still trying to getting used to the controls but loads of fun :) Very good job!
The game is really one of the top ones. There are so many platformers, but only a few that manage to do an original, good job at the execution. This game, though, is impressive. I always had a similar idea with jumping, so it was really really interesting to see someone making the game about it (and the name is cool too). As any other submission, it would've been better with a little polish, but overall, it's already a well done game. Also, the art is lovely, I can't believe it was done in 2 days. Such an amazing entry, best of luck to you!
Amazing Game!, Never would have guessed such a simple concept could introduce this many interesting and difficult situations.
Loved this game! Having no control over jumping is really unique, well done!
It was neat, but the controls were a bit off (Like the player would slide just further than you'd expect it to). The jumping every so often was a cool idea!
The Pixel art is amazing as well as the controls! This is possibly the best game (in the jam) that I've played!
Amazing concept! i really like this mechanics, and the game seems very polished! also the music and the pixel art are very good! Rated! Please check out my game too :D
Awesome game! Very simple yet super fun and challenging, love it
Well i have to say, this is best game i have played so far. ( in Gmtk jam games). Idea is cool. Game fits the theme, gameplay is cool, jumps doesn't feel floaty, Smooth movement, and what else can i say for a platformer. Very well done.
I also want to ask, which game engine did you used. ( Asking because i also want to try it ;))
I actually used Game Maker Studio 2.3!
i am getting a smell of xna Studio.
928 jumps, 5/7 crystals. Very enjoyable. Just wish the music was synced to the jumps. ;P
really good game. It is unbelievable you made this game in 48 hours.
Wow this is so fun to play just a different way of jumping made it such an intresting game to play.BTW what engine did you use or did you make it all on your own
I used Game Maker Studio 2.3, and thanks so much for playing!
i really liked your game! Please, continue the development! Following! o/
Wow!! I had a lot of fun playing your game! I loved the art style adopted for the project, really impressive! The music is also a lot of fun, maybe a little repetitive, but nothing that bothers! The idea of the jump not being controlled is also very cool, I found it very creative, very original! Just in a few moments that maybe, I think the character could jump a little less!
A tip I give is about compression, although there are few files, always compress a folder, instead of just the files, it is more organized!
Excellent job!
Fantastic game!
my god, so hard! I really enjoyed it but holy crap there were a few screens where I was just full of hate lol
Great entry! Loved the presentation and the game at all. Good job!
rated on stream
The jump happening even when you're in the air is fun.
I couldn't download the game through the Itch app. It looks like you forgot to mark is as being for Windows.
Oh, I didn't know how the Itch app works I guess. Thanks for telling me, I just fixed that
