Interesting game. I commend the endless level generation, but some sounds and music would be a nice addition.

If this is your first jam id say you should be proud of the (seemingly) infinite level that you made. Most people would have made a level that you could run through for like 5 minutes tops and then just said it was enough but the extra effort to make it infinite is important. If the game felt better, as opposed to how just timing jumps with no sounds or effects, then the infinite level would make the difference between just a gag and a game that could actually be addicting.

Good submission

cool game from one first time game jammer and first time game completer to another. Respect for making all the assets yourself, but adding music and sfx would have helped the game. Besides that, I liked the animations. The environment felt a bit bare. but it was a fun game over all, I like my Geometry Dash style games.

and thank you for adding a browser build it's always appreciated.

Pretty good, just needs sfx. Also the tiles look a little weird.

Never underestimate the power of narrative, and you didn't! I read the description and just made the game 10 times better.

Buuuut also don't underestimate the sound too, a background music and a jump sound could make as much,

Jumping animation was neat, also the tree growing on the head was really cool when I noticed it. I only wish that it was growing bigger and bigger!

I like the freshness of the level changes each run. A bit saddened by the lack of music and I think displaying both the water AND the trees as score metrics was a bit confusing (as they are linked, 1 tree = 11 waters right?). Other than that nice game! Good job!

Geometry dash, nice level system, no sounds = im sad

Nice parkour game! Google dinosaur but with bloom :)

Tough one, I feel like there are a lot of times where I feel like I should make a jump and I just die.
But thats just object placement. 


The movement feels quite good.

are the levels procedural or does it just start you somewhere randomly in a loop of the playable space?

Seems like a good foundation.

Nice work!

Thanks for the feedback! There's about 7 sections it randomly picks from each time it generates a new section.
