Nice game, and I would love to see harder levels where it can really become mentally torturing cooperating with the character’s moving mechanics  xD

It's a good game, but the restart wit the menu makes it slow, a key to restart would be much better, it's useful when something happens, keep that in mind the next time, the player is likely to do things that they are not supposed to do.

Fun game, i think some work should be done to make restarting less frustrating - mostly keeping track of where you placed the platforms last time and having a trace of how the character moved, a bit like in mario maker level editing.

Fun game with a lot of content. Impressive!

Nice game, nice music, and nice art! I wish it would remember where your platforms were - placing them is a bit of a trial and error process for the later levels.

Really nice, I enjoyed the pixel art

This game is very trial-and-error heavy since you have to remember the exact path the player took on the previous run. And that's on top of having to remember where you placed all your platforms. The main feature I would add is a line-trace that shows what your trajectory was on your previous jump. It got to the point where I was taking screenshots of the game just to remember everything.

The level that introduces jump pads was especially guesswork-heavy. There is really no way to judge where to place the platform since being even slightly off will cause you to not hit the jump pad dead on. I just had to try different heights until it worked.

But that aside, there were some fun levels in here. The last level required very clever problem-solving to get around all the obstacles. Nice work!

I wanted to make it so the platforms don't despawn after restarting but that would have taken too long with how I coded it. But I really like your idea with the jump trail. Thanks for feedback!

Took me a second to figure out I wasn't jumping :p Really nice job, well executed idea :)

the pixel art and the atmosphere of the game is really well done, i especially liked how there were more than one type of platform which helps add that extra depth to the game.  Good job on creating such an extreme amount of levels and content lol. There is a glitch were you get stuck if you make in infinite loop of platforms which i have displayed below other than that this was a really good idea and also extremely well executed.

I didn't make it clear in the game itself but you can press C to pause the game and restart. I probably should've added that. But thanks for feedback!

For your first game jam, this is great! The placement felt very crisp and placing the platform in the right spot for those precision moments felt very satisfying.

I liked the idea. At first i thought we had the same game ahahah! I like the sounds effect and game play!
