Very cute game, super polished.  It would be nice if you didn't fall all the way down when there was a platform just off screen, but that didn't stop me from getting my yarn.  Enjoyed playing.

This game is adorable! All the art (especially Tumbleweed) and music are super cute, and I love the little boop sound effect that plays when you bounce.

It took about 10 minutes,  but I did manage to reach the yarn.

This was so cute! I love the art, the sounds are great, and the music is pretty cool too!

It took me a while to figure out I could wrap the screen, or that black clouds boosted me slightly higher then white ones. I'm also not sure if every layout is possible, I had several attempts where it felt like the clouds were just a little too far apart, or the black clouds made it only possible once despite being able to safely land backwards.

But it is cute and fun! The fast reset, plus the achievable distance, removes any long-term frustration too. I loved it!

I think this was the first submission I played a few days ago, and my thoughts were that if this was going to be the quality of submissions in this jam, then we’ve got a great jam on our hands. I even said as much in out organizers channel. Lovely work. Well done to the whole team!

I went all the way to space and got the yarn.  Twice!  I like the balloon mechanic.  I'm not sure if the levels are random or not, but I got a couple where I felt like I couldn't progress any further: but that could have been me. :)

Really adorable. Congratulations to the whole team. The music, art and gameplay fit together really well. The gameplay is challenging without being punishing. This game boings.

I have not got the yarn yet but I am very invested in finally making it there! I will try again tomorrow haha

A fabulous little game, much enjoyable - art, music and mechanics all tie in beautifully!

I GOT THE YARN! YAY!  Those balloons really helped! (I maybe also found if you press `p` you can see the collision boxes)

Haha yes I left the collision boxes debug in, it’s fun that you found it :) Thanks for playing and sticking with it, glad you got the yarn!

Lovely game took me several tries to get up there, but the art is amazing. Easy to learn what does what after you hit things maybe have what things do? Probably not a problem for jam game but could be frustrating if the only way to know what things do is by bouncing on them. Good job on the game jam! Cat is cute.

Thanks for playing and the feedback, glad you made it all the way but not on your first try, makes me feel like I got the balance somewhat right :)

An “auto jumper”! Seems like it should be a genre but first I’ve heard of it =P

Great implementation with some really lovely art

Developer

Thanks! - If you’re into “auto jumpers” now, the original is probably doodle jump :) https://doodle-jump.io/
