Reading through the store page and the comments, it sounds like you made this in about 6 hours (3 days, 2 hours per day between high school classes)?  If so, that's genuinely impressive! Keep going!

The yippee took me by surprise! hahahahaha

Nice entry, congrats!

Hey, everyone has to start somewhere. Reminds me of the short flash games I used to play on Newgrounds and such.

One thing I have to wonder though - it wouldn't have been any harder to draw some spikes or something similarly deadly looking instead of the text informing me of my impending death, surely?

Developer

We were thinking on something like that but we were rushing, we only had like 2 hours of class to work on it and we did that for 3 days. Thanks for the feedback, I hope in our next game we don't rush as much ^^!

Very short, but a cool concept.

Developer

Thanks for playing ^^! we wished we had more time to work on it :)

A good start! Congrats on putting it together and getting a submission in just 3 days - that's impressive!

Developer

I wouldn't say impressive, we got very short but we got there, thanks for playing :)!

This concept definitely has some potential to become a bit more intricate. There was a weird bug where the shadow could jump indefinitely. Other than that, congrats on finishing the game even though you guys only had 3 days! ^^

Developer

I noticed the bug too and I didn't had time to find how to fix it.
The bug works because the shadow is technically another Scene completely different, and we just inverted it's gravity, so technically it's never touching the floor so the code will make jumps infinite.
The code states that when touching the floor you can jump, we eliminated that part and well, it did what it did
Thanks for playing it tho ^^!
