This is really neat, and amazing for your first jam. I love how temperamental the  bouncing platforms are. The skip tool is also a really underrated feature for jam games, when one might get very, very frustrated at a particular level. 

Overall, this is a great attempt. Well done!

Congrats on submitting to your first jam, SBIG was actually the first game jam I ever submitted to back in 2019. Not a bad little platform, there's definitely some very challenging levels and I didn't even make it all the way through myself. The art is simple but not terrible, the game itself doesn't really strike me as so bad its good, just a platformer that could be good if the speed of everything was turned down a little.

Good job!

Congrats on finishing your first game jam! 

Great job! and fun way to iclude the theme. Hope you keep it up! :)

Superb first jam!  A great little platformer.  Just the right amount of frustration.  The character animation and graphics were great but - as I'm sure others have said - possibly not bad enough for this particular jam.  Great stuff all round though.

Had a bunch of fun with this! I actually liked the running speed and jumping distance. I grew up playing platformers, so it was a fun challenge! The frantic running animation to match it worked really well! There didn't seem to be any intentional bad in it, but great work for your first jam!

I really like the concept of the game! I personally enjoy platformers. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it past level 5. The birfday boy's speed is rather quick as the game progresses, which makes it more difficult to control, especially when jumping from moving platforms is involved! Other than that, I really like it!

The birfday boy moves too fast! Well designed, though!

This is actually really fun, but man.... hadn't passed the third level yet haha, it's so tricky due to the speed. But not bad for a first jam game! It feels (aside from the frustrating parts) more of a good game than a bad game.

I suck at platformers so unfortunately I didn't get very far.

I'm not sure if this is deliberate or not, but this game runs fast almost to the point of unplayability. The player moves super fast and is hard to control, and everything moves so fast it's hard to keep track of.

I wish this game had audio, but the graphics are simple but solid and the gameplay could be really good with some tweaking. Unfortunately it just doesn't really hit the mark for a "so bad it's good" game. It feels like a good game at its core that doesn't quite make it, but could with some work. 

For a first jam game, it's not bad, though. That you completed a game in time to submit is and of itself an accomplishment. It does miss the mark, but not by as much as my godawful entry to the first SBIG Jam.

The idea is nice, the player moves really fast and sometimes jumping is not really easy but as a first game is really good. Keep like this.

Good Job

like others have said, for your first game this was great :) keep it up

You did great for your first game jam! You've got some really good ideas with the levels. The only downside for me was the super high speed of the charater in a cramped level. Other than that, Good job on getting so much done for your first game jam!

I think that this is a great job for your first game
