Great dialogs, art and pies. The mechanic is beyond punishing, but worth exploring nonetheless.
Hello,
Nice game.
And really hard.
The graphics were cool.
The game mechanics is great.
Have a nice day.
thanks for your feedback!
Concept art and mechanics is really amazing really enjoyable :)
thank you :)
Cool concept, and some great presentation.
Super punishing though :| I couldn’t even make it past the first level :/
thank you! yeah I've definitely learned that it's too punishing. I think i'll add checkpoints or a guiding system for the jump to make it easier <3
I really like the graphics and the dialogue. The main mechanic is fun but, I feel like it’s hard to gauge your jump. If there was a line or something to show me where I will land that would help. I think it’s meant to be challenging so maybe its intentional. Overall, really good!
it is meant to be challenging but it sounds like it was too challenging. i'm gonna update the game to include an easier mode hopefully soon! thanks for your feedback!
Loved the humor and graphics of the game. Made me laugh from the very beginning when the start screen says, "become a pie." Thought that was really good stuff. Then proceeded to be stuck on the bottom level unable to make the third jump for a good five minutes being called a stupid pie every time I landed on the bottom again LOL. Great game, really enjoyed the humor!
haha, thank you for playing, i'm glad you liked the dialogue. i'm going to try and make the mechanic it a little less punishing heh <3
The jumping mechanic is cool, but wow is it frustrating. I think some kind of angry birds-style graphic to show where you'll go would help a lot.
thank you! yeah i meant for the game to be hard but it sounds like it's too frustrating. i'm planning on adding some more helpful modes in an update, probably including a trajectory graphic
Very fun and at the same time infuriating game! Loved it :) The art style is fun and the little story is also very cool. Congrats :)
thank you! :0
Interesting game mechanic with a neat narrative!
It was quite difficult to get the hang of at first - took me some time to realize the up and down keys don't seem to affect the jump direction (whoops), and getting a hold of how much force was needed for a certain jump was a challenge.
Maybe some sort of trajectory graphic could help? I do suppose that would subtract from the difficulty of the game, though.
At least falling down wasn't too bad - Pie Man's rambling was pretty amusing!
thank you for the feedback! i'm thinking about putting in a trajectory graphic as a sort of tutorial mode or easy mode. i'm glad u liked the pie dude's rambling lol
Was a lot of fun! Interesting mechanic for gameplay. Took a little while to get used to it but once I got the hang of how much force was needed for certain things it definitely got easier. Had fun and enjoyed the story!
thank you :)!
Man when I finally reached the top of the dungeon and thought I'd won and it was definitely not the end it was pretty soul crushing. Great core mechanic - perfect bite-size thing for a weekend jam. Fun!

haha thank u for playing! it is a pretty soul crushing game, i'll probably add some help modes to make it easier lol
You definitely don't have to make it easier - depends on the audience you're targeting but there is demand for both easy and hard games
This was such a cool mechanic, I enjoyed this! It reminds me of the game Getting Over It where you can easily lose a lot of progress, which feels frustrating but fair.
I do wish there wasn't a time limit, though, as the core mechanic does take a while to get the hang of. I also wish I had access to the later two levels to play without beating it. Maybe for game jams, it would be best to give players access to all of the levels, just so people don't feel that they need to master the game to see all you have to offer. But great job on a cool concept!
thanks! yeah I was going for a difficult game like getting over it or jump king where you can lose a lot of progress easily. I didn't actually finish the other two paths/levels because I was crunched for time haha (should have made that clearer in the game). I'm going to update it and will give people access to them without needing to beat the first one. I also agree that the timed mode doesn't really fit the game, at least when you're first starting so I'll probably do a timed and not timed mode. thanks for the feedback!
An interesting game, while I didn't enjoy it too much personally, I can understand what others like about it. 7.5/10
yeah it definitely not for everyone - i was going for a hard game like jump king so i could see it getting frustrating. thanks for playing though!
Fantastic game! I like the "power jump" game dynamic. Good going!
thanks :)
This game is hard but fun. I really enjoy the contamination timelimit on the higher platforms. Great job!
thank you! i'm glad you like the contamination mechanic
This game was very hard but rewarding when you finally land a jump after lots of practice. I finished the cherry difficulty after a little more than an hour but couldn't bare to go with another round. Good work.
thanks for the feedback and for playing for so long haha! I was going for a difficult game sort of like jump king, but I can see how there needs to be a bigger difficulty curve or an easier mode. i plan to update it to have something like that
The art and style of game was on point, I kinda wish there was some kind of guideline to show the projection, atleast in easier difficulty :3
An overall good jam game!
thank you! i was going to add an easier mode with checkpoints but ran out of time, but i plan on adding an update after the jam ends tho 3>
Now that's hilarious, really cool game. Can see the inspiration with jump king, good stuff!
Thank you!!
This game is hard but actually kind of had me hooked, good stuff!
that's rly nice to hear thank u ;)
