Really cool game! I loved that you combined a platformer with balancing mechanics. I think this is very unique and works very well. I would for sure improve the difficulty a bit. The game might be very simple for you, but keep in mind that during development you played it a lot and you are an expert in playing it. If it feels very easy for you, it might be still challenging for newbies like us who play it the first time :). I am proud that I made it to the first flag. The flags are very important as this keeps the frustration of player low. I realized that when you keep pressing SPACE you will jump again. I would remove that and only trigger a jump on a "keydown" event. It happen to me a few times that I jumped accidentally because I was still holding the jump button.

Congratulations to this fun and addictive game!

For the open source category, you'll need to have a README file and License file.

The graphics and music are great, very on theme. The balance theme has been applied very creatively. I almost got to the flag. The tiger is my fave: so cute! Rather addictive, if you wanted to get more people into it, maybe start a little easier, but I really enjoyed it and I really good into the colours and music. Nice job!

Cute and fun! The difficulty was a bit high for me, I eventually gave up at the first bit with two tigers on one platform.

Nice controls, interesting idea!! I kind of suck at this game so I didn't play long lol

Great execution. The controls felt very smooth and it was pretty challenging at times!

i felt really cool when i did some of the jumps first try! i thought the platforming was really fun. But, i had to play it muted because of that loud jump sound 😭

Payasi's adorable lol. Usually balancing beam games like this aren't traditional platformers, so that's cool to see. I think it would be a bit more fair if Payasi only loses his balance while on the tightrope instead of being able to tilt too far while still midair. Great work though, God bless :)
