Firs of all if you quote me please quote "I am not good with platforms". Not being good at something doesn't mean that I don't like it. Soooo... to be extra super duper fair in my assessment and minimize my sucyness with platformers I garbed an expert. The type of person who would play the star levels in Mario (always 100%)  or Donkey Kong Country Returns (186%) just to get the full experience. He played your game for 45 minutes. That a fair Rater?

Here is how far he made it:

To be extra unbiased we also used the rating guide suggested by the jam host in the overview tab. I also added one star to his evaluation, since he tends to be cruel when rating.

Issues that were encountered:

• Firs thing the expert noticed was that the green platforms starter disappearing even before you stepped on them. That's also the reason I asked you if that's intended behavior, since we both expected that they would disappear after you step on them and not when the sprites overlap.
• The expert noted that the controls are delayed
• After dying the music starts from the very beginning. That was annoying
• You could sit on a bounce pad without bouncing. That's probably a bug.
• The bounce height on the bounce pad was very inconsistent. In the picture above the bounce was sometimes high enough to trigger the yellow platform above to disappear, but usually nowhere near high enough.

Rating:

Engagement:
2 Stars - had to wait for platforms to re spawn or move in position before trying again (got bored), a lot of finagling the character to put him into the next jump position, I guess that someone might like the difficulty so I'll add a star

Creative use of Assets:
3 Stars - Nothing bad nothing special, no aspect for 4 star category

Polish:
2 Stars - wouldn't pay money for it, so no 5 stars, bugged jump pads + obfuscated controls + difficulty spikes resulting in bottlenecks + meh music - ok sound effects - death animation was neat
