Love that you made a "Spring" game! haha The game had a nice feel to it, and I really like how there are two different paths you can take. You also did a good job of showing that there was a bottomless pit on the left side. That was a nice touch!
My only thought was that the jumping was a little unpredictable because of the bouncing. But overall I thought it was a fun spring game. Great job!
Thanks!
It's an interesting take on the theme! A restart button at the end would be a nice addition.
Oh, I should add that! Thanks!
This was really good! I really like the visuals and the design of the main character. A spring in spring is a really neat concept! Some sections were very challenging, but the jumping mechanics were really fun! Great work!
Thanks! Lonely rock did most of the visuals and he did a pretty good job!
This is really fun! I loved the whole idea for the movement and it felt really good to play. I also loved that you had to play the game multiple times to get the full experience.
Thanks!
Its a pretty neat Idea I feel like adding in a way to dynamically control jump height would be fun and I think this could be an interesting mobile game
Maybe a jump-o-meter? I think I could do that with a sequel. I would have to ask lonely rock if he wants to though.
This was pretty fun! Though I feel like the best strat for most sections was to just hold down space and make fine movements from there. Could've done with a little more visibility around the areas where you're making leaps of faith though. But I like it, and I'm really happy someone used that interpretation of Spring!
Thanks
Awesome game! I really enjoyed it. I love the non-traditional interpretation on "Spring". A suggestion would be to edit some of the text that was non-pixel art and make it pixel art. Also, I may have found a bug. occasionally when you bounce on the very corner of a platform the bounce height increases with each bounce. Overall, great submission!
There is no way that I found to remove the bug where the player can bounce higher from the corner. Maybe this can be a feature? Thanks.
You're welcome! It certainly isn't a game-breaking bug and I think it'll be fine. This is still a great game and it is really fun.
Thanks!
Very interesting idea, reminds me of Jump King a bit
Nice job! Moving around as a spring is a fun, novel game mechanic, & the art & music are both nice! The platforming can feel a little annoying at times, which I think could be helped by just giving the spring a longer hang time in the air akin to Super Mario Galaxy.
At the point where I was supposed to do a "small jump," I couldn't figure out how, because no matter how quickly I pressed jump, the spring still did a large jump. Overall, fun little game!
A higher jump/less gravity would be good right? I also made the left side of the map while random rock made the right side. I'm not sure what small jump meant. Thanks.
yeah sorry a small jump is when you bounce after a jump. I should have made that clearer sorry
It makes sense after you know what it is, but it is probably harder for a new player.
That was very fun ! I suck at platformer real bad, but I still had a good time ! I like the idea of only moving while jumping, really cute. Well done !
Thanks!
It feels a bit jarring when the spring suddenly locks in place after bouncing enough times, and it doesn't seem like its used for anything other than stopping the player from walking. Maybe you could aim while locked in place and do an extra large jump? The art is cute and the SFX and music sounds nice, so thumbs up from me!
Could you elaborate on this possible bug? Thanks.
After landing on the ground after the 3th bounce, you just stop completely until you choose to jump again. I don't know if this is intended or not I just wanted to point it out.
Yes, the player loses a large portion of their velocity when they hit the ground! Like real life.
Fun Game! Not as easy to win as I thought. LOL. But I love it and had lots of fun playing. Wish I could rate this game I would give it 100% ( or 10 out of 10).
Thanks!
