Use of the limitation
This was a difficult limitation for me...every time a level starts or a player dies the player is randomly selected from 3 different colored players, which each have 3 different abilities (speed of moveent, jump height, and regular or double-jump). Also there are 3 random levels, 3 random obstacles, and 3 different "Dream" goals to reach/save. So theoretically you would have 3x3x3x3x3 differing possiblies for each level/life played. Not completely totally unique, if random enough for the amount of time people would probably spend playing a game like this. Basically I set out to make a super random Donkey Kong, but probably ended up with an annoying Mario Party clone :P

Cookies eaten
No cookies, but a lot of pizza.

Reminds me of arcade games, which is always something nice! Sometimes it's very difficult because of how the characters move but that can also be something god of course :D

Movement is a little too fast but Nice job!

This is randomization taken to the maximum. Check out my review at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission

rly unique concept, I had a lot of fun. my only problem was that if I got a combo that didn't rly work for the level I'd just jump off and restart to get a new one

Great concept, at one point I was riding bullets around the board....

Fun way to interpret the limitation. There are a lot of ways to approach each level.  The only issue I had was the character being too fast. 

Submitted

Wow. That is a lot of possibilities. The embrace of the limitation is great.

This is great, fast double jump, slow high jump, my god there are so many options i can barely believe it.

I really love the idea of having different perks that allow you to beat the level. I had a lot of issues with the really sensitive movement, but maybe that's the point lol. I can't even imagine how you created the randomized levels and abilities and have it still be beatable. Really cool game!
