Jumping game ;-). It was challenging to figure out how to jump as you thought it would go. In the end I manage to get 3 jumps correct before getting hungry. Maybe a tutorial level (small level to get the jump right) would be beneficial.
Cool pixel art!
Thank you!
I liked the blood mechanic ALOT! It was a really good addition to the classic Jumpking formula, very well done!
The art style is also very pleasant, I'm very fond of it and i think it fits perfectly.
The music choice is absolute torture on the human psyche, a very strong choice for a rage game!
Very good job!
Thanks for trying it out! This is my first time venturing into making my own pixel art, so I'm glad you liked it so much.
I liked this take on the theme so 5 stars there! I've never played as a flea before lol, and I just found it really novel that instead of collecting coins (typical of 2D platformers) that I'm collecting blood instead. I thought that the overall mechanic was really good too - the way your jump height is affected by how much blood you have, and how you basically cant jump without blood - especially when jumping is your only way of moving (typical of being a flea) -its really interesting and quite novel (I've never seen this mechanic in a game before). I cant decide if its too hard or not - I cant decide if it would be a good idea or not to have a power bar for your jump, or similar. I think the answer to that will depend on your target audience! This is a great kind of 'rage' game just as it is. It's the sort of game that you cant really master with one play. You have to play it multiple times to get the 'feeling' for the jump mechanic. Overall I'm a big fan of this so great work.
Thank you! I was having the same debate about the power bar in my head while making it. I'm glad you liked it.
Interesting idea. The game is tough. With some communication like how much power you are putting in versus a maximum would help with getting an idea on how high you can jump. I like that if you get too much currency (blood) that you can't jump as high. Good work.
Thanks for playing. A mechanic that shows how much power you're putting into the jump is one of the things I went back and forth on in my head. I appreciate the feedback.
