Cool little puzzle platformer! I like the idea of having to avoid your previous path, and that there’s limited amount of jumps, forcing you to be smart about how you traverse the level.

Graphics are pleasant, with a well-picked color palette, and sounds are also very nice. I usually add music to my games in the last stages as a finishing touch, and most of the time I have to do it in a hurry, so I can relate to you here, haha! I also like the little fun remarks in the options menu. :-)

Thank you alot, for you nice Feedback. Music can be really stressfull, i agree :)

You hit the limitation on the head! A great game, I liked how you used the ceiling as well. The game's resolution is a little small, the player could be more interesting looking and it needs music! My other advice is to make R actually restart the game instead of a pause menu. Usually I just use P for pause and R for an instant restart, it was annoying having to use my mouse each time I messed up. Fantastic game overall, but I wish there was music.

Thank you for your kindly Feedback. The use of R sound interessting, but i had the fear that if you miss klick, that you restart the level, even when it's not your porpus. Next time i will set more time for music :)

This was a fantastic puzzle experience! The squash and stretch was fun and the levels were tight. The good design of it made me want to keep playing more and more to challenge myself. Music would have been nice but the SFX makes up for it. Really good job!

Thank you for these warm words. Next time i try to put music in aswell : )

A great puzzle game with simple graphics. The R button was really helpful. Loved it!

I love the concept and it would be really good of not for the fact that you can be stuck very easily.

Wow! I really like the concept here, it's clean and unique and challenging in a good way. The sound, feedback, and animation are all great-- good work! :D

Clever puzzles. Smooth control. Snappy sound effects. The idea feels original and intriguing.

Unfortunately, it's a bit too easy in the second level to reach a draw, where you cannot finish the level, but you can't lose, either. The only way to get out of this is to reload the whole page. A Restart button would be extremely helpful.

Thank you for the great feedback. I implementet a Restart Button, when you press the ESC button a pause menu should open. But unfortunatly when you press ESC in the Fullscreen, the Fullscreen exit and the menu don't open.

Nice!

How about the R key instead? And make sure to mention it in the description so players know.

Good idea. I changed it right now :)

Brilliant. This is always a good option to include in a puzzle game.
