Good job with this one, It felt nice and simple and one of those games you could spend ages on trying to beat your highscore. The style was pretty neat and overall I quite enjoyed the game.

This was fun! The mechanics are simple, but if feels very rewarding. I was able to reach 2 minutes, it was very satisfying. I was afraid the umbrellas would be too slippery, but actually everything in the physics felt smooth, which is not a small feat to achieve. :)
I liked the design of the buildings in the background! The sound-design was also really soothing. I had a neat experience overall.

To Take OffVery nice submission, congratulations! :)
It felt good to jump on the umbrellas, while constantly trying to avoid birds: it's a cute idea, and creates an interesting contrast with the greyish city around. I appreciated the consistency of the details (like having different colors for different types of umbrellas/platforms). The controls were also really smooth and precise: they were responsive enough to make me feel accountable for every fall :')
The only thing I might suggest is to make some birds more visible... The grey crows were pretty mimetic over the background :)
Great job, enjoyed it a lot!

A Trail of Ink and RainGood job! This was cute, I like the style you went with. You incorporated the theme in a smart way too!

Yokai PanicNice entry!
The
controls were very simple to understand and use, I liked how the air
control allowed me to jump with good precision, how the platforms
(umbrellas) stood out well against the background. The frog
was adorable and I liked the ambient sounds used in game.

Reign of FishI love the frog character. Add a double jump or something and I think you've got a fun concept!

Grow YourselfWow this was a really good concept, and the controls are well made. When I play a game, I expect some fun, graphics is of negligible importance to me, and this game delivers the gameplay amazingly! The jump controls were also very smooth. Your programmer did a great job in the gameplay juice :)

MineSwept IslandSuch a cool name :D The game kinda felt like the chrome dino game, just that it was WAYYY more difficult. I found it a bit hard to adjust the jump since often, the gaps between the umbrellas were too large and I couldnt make a tiny enough jump to reposition myself on my current umbrella. But sometimes I did make it and that felt cool :)

Slice & SplashHehe definitely was inspired by the chrome dino game :D Yeah sometimes the bird spawns do make it a little tricky to time your jumps! Our programmer did play around with the distance between umbrella platforms and jump height, it's a tricky thing to get right but I'm glad you thought the game was cool! :D
Thanks for playing ARez!
