Challenging game. I included it in my Godot Wild Jam #17 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Cool video, thanks for checking the game out!

Unfortunately could not really play it in browser. The audio stutters a lot and in levels 2 and 3 the screen goes shaking like crazy :( Adding Win+Lin+Mac exports should be easy from Godot though, if you want to give us the option to play native.

I think this is the only game so far that I've seen that actually incorporates the "second chance" as a mechanic beyond like... you get a second life to do the same thing. All of these levels require you to do something on the first chance that makes winning possible. Like it a lot. The graphics, at least the sprite for the character and the cutscene at the beginning, are very funny and cute.

Controls/handling is a bit rough. It feels like every jump in this game needs to be pixel perfect. Personally I wasn't able to beat any but the first level, but maybe that's just me.

Agreed on the controls - I had to make sure the character has to die for every level, so sometimes the obstacles don't leave that much leeway. There probably is a better way of guaranteeing death other than pushing the obstacles that tight, but hopefully I'll leave some more breathing room if I make a similar game in the future.

After filling the download bar, I see only a black screen.

Assuming you're playing thru the itch.io app. Try going to the actual webpage in your normal browser (this is an HTML game) or go to the gear next to "Launch" and then "Show in File Browser" or whatever it says.

For some reason Godot HTML games do that on itch and idk why. They do eventually load, but it takes forever.

OK, you’re right. Everything is good!
