How does your game fit the theme?
You move your character and a trampoline. Without the trampoline, character will fall into lava, so character and trampoline are connected.

That was really neat! I've always liked the idea of endlessly jumping endlessly on a trampoline just for fun, and I think this game encapsulates that feeling pretty well! Plus spreading out a few coins here and there with some smaller trampolines was also pretty amusing! It's not mind-blowing or extremely original, but it served for the bit.
Considering the level is quite long, I'd have liked to see some check-points here and there. Early on when playing I was trying to go for all coins, but as I'd eventually hit lava on the corners, I'd have to start all over again. That got repetitive after a while, and I just decided to go through the rest of the game. Having some check points here and there that allow the player to keep their progress before a new hazard is introduced (like the moving lava blocks) would have been great.
Another thing I would have liked is for there to be some sort of indicator of where the trampoline is if it's beneath the lava. Something like a ghosting effect just to make sure you're timing the trampoline off the lava at the right time. Making sure the trampoline is clamped to the screen-view of the player so that it doesn't move off-screen would have been nice too!
As for the high-pitch sound, I didn't pay much mind to it, as that issue sometimes happened with us when making WebGL builds. There's no real way to fix it other than trial-and-error with re-encoding the sound with something like Audacity and trying to build again. Though with some perseverance, you will eventually get it sounding as its supposed to. Cheers and here's the best to Jumpy Trampoline boing boing skippeti skippeti jump! 🐳
At first I though the title had a typo, and you'd have a friend with a trampoline! But no! The actual trampoline is your friend :D
The difficulty is a bit on the heavy side though :p
Fun but very difficult, maybe start off easier and ramp the difficulty up more slowly to stop people giving up early
Interresting Idea with the Trampoline and the Lava and its really hard. I had one Problem: when the cube touched the trampoline, I heard a high pitch Sound who was really annoying
Thanks for the comment! That annoying sound came after building the game, and I didn't know how to fix it. Same thing has happened me previously.
I like the concept!! However it's a bit hard for me to play it hahaha
Not having checkpoints is a bit rough. the trampoline noise is quite grating. Regardless, nice job with your entry
Really fun platforming and I love the lava aesthetic, nicely made game!
cool and fun concept, tho that high pitched noise when I jump is irritating
That annoying noise came after building the game, and I had no idea how to fix it. Same problem happened once before with a different game.
I'm sorry to hear that. In terms of gameplay, pretty fun :)
