Not sure I am a fan of the balance, especially because of how it's designed. Basically you have to trick the bomb to get to play the real thing and that on its own feels tedious :/ It's very easy to get bombed at this point. Once you passed it, it's easier. Which feels weird since it's the beginning of the level. It seems very hard to dodge stuff.
Aside that, I love the colors and how the camera moves!

Thanks! Yup I kept the jam version quite hard, but working on an "official" version which I'll roll out once the jam rating period is over. The new version has two difficulty modes, in the easier mode the bomb moves slower and is easier to avoid, but still adds a bit of time pressure so player can't camp in a corner indefinitely ;)
This is awesome! The visuals and sound fit perfectly, and the game feels really good to play. It's super hard but also makes you want to keep getting higher than you did before. Twitter integration is an awesome touch. Great job!
This game was fun and fantastic, I love the way the menu moves and how the camera moves based on the mouse, the game itself is challenging
Had a lot of fun playing this. Challenging but possible to overcome. Good to hear you're going to keep working on this game!
I love this game! Perfect for a jam game. Simple yet beautiful, clear and challenging. Just the right amount of challenge, just enough frustrating that I felt I had accomplished something but making it to floor 20. I don't know how to equip the bat outfit, thought. Is it even real? :) And my best level says 24, though it's actually 20?
And sometimes it feels like I can't launch into a new jump directly after landing?
Nice Jam Game! Definitely challenging. Couldn't get past floor ten, because the enemies were relentless, and my skills were low, lol. Great job!
Very fun yet challenging game! Love the art style as wel. The screen shaking left and right when the character moves is a bit too much in my opinion though.
really stylish and quite challenging. I was really bad at the game. It would work pretty well on mobile, kinda reminded me of Ninjump
I love the colours so much! And the cool take on screenshake! Finish this one off!!
Very cool aesthetic and I love the soundtrack! Pretty badass looking game you have there... I'm not great at it, but I enjoyed myself for sure!
Very smooth - great visuals - almost an homage to Saul Bass. Congrats.
Thanks, much appreciated!!! It's all about the timing with these snipers. Although the flying bombs make sure you don't take your sweet time! ;)
And yes the proc gen might throw a few curve balls at the player every so and then - I'm a big fan of Vlambeer games & trying to keep players on their toes with a above-average difficulty :)
