Good game! I really like the CRT aesthetic though. Gameplay loop is simple but addicting, nice work!
Nice work! Clean and works well! Couldn't manage to beat the 1000 but someday i will!
Game is simple and game loop is polished, but chromatic aberration is a bit too high
Nice little game. Rather fun and addictive all the qualities a decent game requires, good work!
Simple but incredibly addictive. Really nice work here. Good aesthetics, and the gameplay loop is solid. My only thought is I wish the camera was pulled back slightly more so I could see a little more of what's coming. But maybe that's a skill issue on my part haha. Nice work!
Easy to play, hard to master and super fun! Great work here
Super fun, could see this being on an arcade machine somewhere.
Simple and fun, nice artwork and very addictive.
Reminds Doodle Jump but more forgiving. Good work!
I think charecter is falling too slow compared to how it moves in horizontal direction. You might want to increase gravity value for that
Nice and polished visuals and music, simple but effective gameplay. Nice entry!
Clean game
I liked it a lot! I didn't quite understand what the green bar at the right was until suddenly a bunch of acid got to me and I died at 880 lol.
As with other comments, maybe a way of seeing the acid a bit more would be cool. Maybe you could make it so that if the acid is on screen it gets a lot slower (using camera bounds maybe)? I think that often times it is enough to see the acid so that a player will get spooked and make a mistake, especially if the acid is already fast so they're seeing it constantly.
Great entry, I hope you continue to expand on it.
Keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot for the feedback and the kind words, I completely agree with you and the other comments, the acid pool wasnt managed the best way, i focused too much with the other mechanics and left the balancing of the acid to the end of the jam where i didnt had enough time, im going to try to fix it as soon as i can, again thanks a lot
wow, super clean to play
Feels super clean to play :))
Fun game! Reminds me of Downwell. But this would be... Upwell? Love the CRT aesthetic.

I had downwell in mind while i made it yes, thanks for the kind words
Nice work! I'm with the other comments on wanting to feel the since of urgency by seeing the lava come get me. I got up to 685 I think.
I totally agree with you and the comments, I was having a hard time finding a balanced way to do that, so thats the first thing im fixing as soon as the jam ends, thanks
I have about five thousand things I want to fix too on my game lol -
Very Fun, reminds me of doodle jump, a good way to pass the time
Cool game! Would be cool if the acid pool was more often in sight so you get the feeling of just narrowly escaping it. But it's fun as is! Sadly I died just before 1000... maybe I'll give it another go some other time.
Yeah i was trying to balance it but was only able to make a simple system where the higher you were the faster was the acid
Very nice animations and overall polish. Loved the lighting and "fish eye" effect!
What's on top of the tower remains a mystery..
Scored 341! Great game!
