Nice game! Though the controls were at first a bit confusing, but after some while I got used to it. Pretty fun!

Submitted

Something that indicates how much your jump is charged would've also been nice

Submitted

Loved the game. Concept as good. It would be better if you add a indicator from the bone or rope is falling to make it easier to calculate the jump.

Submitted

I really like the feel and the music. The simple game play is decent and has potential for being a good mobile game. I wish there is better controls like instead of hang leaning on one side of the wall, i think hanging in the middle and let player have the control to swing left or right might be more interesting! Now, most of the time i just stick to the wall to avoid bones, and jump to get ropes. 

Submitted

I enjoyed the game, but ended up always jumping as far as I can, as there isn't really an incentive for a small jump

still, cool game!

Submitted

Cool concept for the theme! I had a lot of fun playing this game!

Interesting and unqiue concept, and also quite fun to play. Would love to have more control in the left direction, but is managable. Keep up the good work!

Submitted

Really fun concept, love how the rope works, and swings about. The only thing I could think to add would be a meter that shows you how much you've charged your jump. Great work! Keep it up!

Submitted

I really like the rope physics, and how the rope extended when collecting the rope. The jumping mechanic was hard to get used to, i didn't know i had to hold space to jump further. the art is really nice good work 

Submitted

Fun game!  Simple, but effective.  The rope physics felt satisfying!  

I do wish there was a bit more of an indicator for charge, and maybe a little bit of directional influence since I would get caught in situations where I would grab a rope, but then was helpless when a bone fell immediately on me afterwards.  

Great work overall though!

Submitted

Very nice little game!!!!! Love 1 button games, the sprites were nice. I just wished there was some kind of charge animation or UI so that I know my spacebar press is working. The duration was just right, I enjoyed it very much.

Great work!!

Submitted

I liked the gameplay and the design. The only think that confused me was the bones. Maybe there could be a spike or something else rather than bone.
Also could you rate our game and give feedback too :)

Submitted

I rate you're game so you rate my game

Of course!!! Thanks for playing!

Interesting conception, cute visuals. Love it for sure!

Developer

Thanks for playing!! I'm glad you love it!

Submitted

Wow, a great game and fun to play, i like how the rope is going down and enter in the another world, and i like the music

Developer

Thanks for playing!! It's really short, but maybe I can put more story into the game. 

Submitted

This game was very fun to play! the rope holding onto you felt good and collecting the ropes and falling 10 meters just to be bungee held by it so so satisfying! im not sure why, but i feel like this game could be made into a mobile game? the pit is vertical so it would fit on a phone nicely,  and theres only one button press so yeah. maybe? my only problem is that they fell just a little bit too slow? and maybe add some variations of the drops, maybe like a bomb or etc as well as the bone. but very fun game!

Developer

Thanks for playing!! I'm really appreciate to your advice. Maybe I can made into a mobile game! that's great idea. thank you!

Submitted

Collecting the ropes was satisfying. I just wish I could move the camera up to see what was coming. Otherwise good job.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm thinking some way to see what was coming... Will be updated later!

Submitted

I love how bouncy and life-like the drop is! I hope this becomes a fully released game one day with much more content. Also just for the icing on top, you should add a charge gauge so players are able to tell how much the player can jump at a given moment.

Developer

Thanks for playing!! I really appreciate your advice. I'll update a charge gauge after the jam end! (and more contents if I can)

Submitted

It's a really good "no connection" game. It should replace the dinosaure game.

Awwwww You make me cry with happiness. Thanks for playing!!!

Submitted

Very interesting mechanic. Would be nice to have more control of the character, I felt I was waiting of the physic engine to do something weird and throw me under the bone. 

Developer

Thank you for playing and comments!!!
