Fun, though it tested my patience. I am not good with these types of rage games, haha... I think if the launch direction was somehow also controlled by the mouse the game would be a lot less frustrating. Additionally, though I know this would kind of go against the game's genre, the game would be a lot more accessible if there were some kind of checkpoints (toggleable, even, so people who wanted the extra challenge could still have it). After falling from about halfway up a couple times I decided I didn't want to restart the game anymore and quit (and by the way, every time I did choose to try again, I found restarting the game easier than trying to bounce my way back to the start - a reset button would be greatly appreciated). So good work overall, but I don't think this game was made for people like me :)
hahaha cool game but ultra hard
10/10, every time I thought I was getting somewhere I immediately wound up launching myself back to the start but I had a blast doing it.
You made a rage platformer for a game jam. Bold move, Cotton.
For game jams I usually make games that are only infuriatingly difficult by accident. You did it on purpose, so you get some points for that. But now I am angry, so you lose those same points.
Solid entry, but I didn't hate myself enough to beat it.
haha glad you gave it a shot! I knew I was taking a risk with this one.
My friends and I have discovered some speedrun strats which may allow people to beat it without completing the challenge normally. Turns out, you can glide across the ground and build up speed then lift up before hitting the base platform and sometimes you will launch high into the air. We've managed to skip the entire game a few times so far although it's pretty inconsistent!
Fun, silly game! Feels like it'd be a blast to stream or play with some friends.
Dog. I like the controls and the dog. Sometimes it's hard to see where to jump to next or I'm just blind. Cool game and fits the theme.
cool dog. the game was super tough, great work!
