it was such a good game, the music was really good(especially the tutorial one), the mechanic felt smooth and nice and the visuals are simple but good. other then the wall stick bug i got nothing bad to say, it was one of the best ive seen in the jam imo :D

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! 

I'm delighted you think this is the best game in the jam ☺️👍

This game is the definition of simple is more. I like the feel and the timers were challenging but not unrealistic.

Just one question: Was it by design that you could stick to the side of the platforms? 
Either way, good job!

Thanks for playing my game!

Sticking to walls is a probably a  bug in player movement/gravity script.

I will fix it by adding wall jumping  in future updates.

Yeah most likely something along those lines since it might just care about colliding with the block not where on said block though.
And utilising it as wall jumping would be a great way to make it a feature ;)

I really enjoyed playing this, the rush to complete the level against time was great and controls felt natural! I personally would have liked to see more variation of enemies. Great work tho!

Thanks you for playing my game! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Your idea of adiing more enenmies sound good. Maybe i will include it in future updates. ;)

Really simple, but effective platformer! i liked how intuitive the controls felt, and the level design never got dull. Nice work!

Developer

Thank you. I'm very glad you liked my game 🙂

Nice  game , yes need more level but fun well done .

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! 

More levels should come in future updates.  ☺️

Feels grate, not to many keys so you can concentrate on doing the level, just at the end it fells for me a little bit to simple (and it's a shame that there aren't more levels. We want more!!! xD) At the end you just want to do the game again. I hope there will be an update with more levels. Also a little bug : if you finish a level mooving, you moove at the beginning of the next level, without that the timer starts.

Developer

Thanks for your good review, I appreciate you like my game.

More levels should come in future updates and I'm aware of that little bug you described, but it's not such a big issue now because all levels require jumping on higher platforms right when you start. 

If you like my game make sure to follow me.  ☺️

I really like the minimalistic art style! The core concept is just like my game too hahaha.

You could implement coyote jump , it'd make it even more solid. 

Overall trully enjoyed it, great game!

Developer

Thank You for playing my game ! ☺️❤️

This is my first game I made and I learnt all the features the game has progressively by watching tutorials and also reading the manual. 

I checked out your game and it looks cool, I will definitely try it today. 

I'm happy you  liked  it, but I wouldn't be able to get to this stage without the help of people from Jonas' Discord community. 

I will continue on updating the game after the game jam. I recommend following the game's page. ☺️

Developer

I hope you enjoyed it.  ☺️

This is a difficult game - and in no way is that a bad statement! After doing the first few levels, the difficulty ramped up nicely, and got pretty hard a few levels in. In short, I loved the game! Nicely done!
