wow very fun game like hill climb racing with jump mechanic

Developer

Haha thanks for playing and commenting, and the awesome comparison with hill climb racing! That is really one of the OG classics, so it means a lot to be put together with them. Thanks a ton!

Oh this was cute! Simple mechanics and yet very polished and fun! I'm not very good at these games so I didn't get far but had a blast!.... (see what I did there??) ;-)

Developer(+1)

Thanks a bunch for playing and your kind words! It's a difficult beast to balance game play for a jam, but we're glad you enjoyed playing anyway and that it stuck the landing ;-)

Groovy game, loving the simplicity and music fits surprisingly well! Love the shop element, it completely opens up the game and makes the enjoyment continue. Would like to know the background story of this character and why he has a death wish though! Haha Well done!

Developer(+1)

Awesome feedback, thanks for playing and commenting! And also awesome to hear you liked the shop, it was one of the last features we managed to implement (Which is also executed a bit more crudely, it could definitely need an extra design pass or two). And great idea, maybe we'll look into adding some lore context for future updates :-D

This is such a simple yet fun game! The tutorial was nice and I loved how the explosion mechanic was used for both jumping and exploding into mine shafts. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks a ton for playing and the kind words, it means a lot :-D The explosion mechanic was really something that emerged through the development of the game, and it ended up being so core to the game play loop. It's funny how those things kind of just appear by going through the process. Thanks for commenting, and happy jamming! :-)

Nice game. Well executed and polish. The way you made the tutorial is really interesting, but a bit too slow.

Developer

Thanks a ton for playing and commenting :-D And duly noted with the tutorial, we will make sure to give it an extra pass for the next update! Thanks for the feedback :-)

Haha that is a great nostalgic comparison! We tried to aim for the classic flash game experience vibe, so happy to hear that it's along those lines. Thanks for playing and commenting :-D

Fun mechanic with progression and cool tutorial!

That was quite fun! I also like the aesthetics and the beginning transition from the splash screens to the in game screen was lovely!

Developer

Thanks a bunch, we spend way too long on the splash screen so we're happy you like it! :D
