A good game with the short time we had to complete this, I liked the music which fitted well when trying to jump over the obstacles which was very challenging to try and work out the pattern, I liked how you can tell which are the ones you had to avoid as well and can be addictive to try and beat the game, good work!

Ensure that your submission title has your student number on it, for simplicity's sake. The game meets the expectations of the brief and is visually appealing and the jumping feels responsive and rapid, which works with how the obstacles are designed. Nice addition of the soundtrack, as it helps improve user experience.

One thing I would consider is to keep your download and submission title the same, calling your application "one button control game" whilst your submission is Jar Jumper is inconsistent. Another point is whether or not the chosen method of accessing the game is the most efficient that you could've done. The soundtrack appears to be in time with when you should jump, which is a really neat idea, but when trying to follow the beat it didn't appear to be the case. Either it is just purely coincidence but if it was intentional, ensure that the timings actually work with the soundtrack. It was easier to play with the sound off. Finally, after three segments, the game just continues to play with no more obstacles. Some end/win condition should have been put in there to close the gameplay loop.

All in all, this is a novel and unique mix of rhythm and jumper game (intentionally or otherwise) that with some polish and additional levels, could be something worth putting on a marketplace if it were worked on for a few weeks. Good work.

This almost blurs the line between endless runner and rhythm game and I love it! Great choice of music - I loved hopping over the obstacles in time to the beat. While I did enjoy the challenge, I felt the timing for the jumps could be a little too unforgiving. I did finish the level however!

Super fun game! I loved the fact that the tapping coincided with the audio - it made it way more addictive. Great game, I loved the soundtrack. Well done this is amazing!! :D
