Nice game! 

I made a mistake taking too long and hanging out in the crossing point and getting barrel'd repeatedly. 

I like the SID-style lead in the bgm too!

This game was a good time. The double jump was a nice addition to this game it allow me to save myself multiple times. My headcanon is that Donkey Kong is the pilot of that UFO.

That was fun! The mechanics were competently implemented, and the art is pretty cool.

The audio is a bit imbalanced. The "jump-over score increase" sound peaks at -0.0 dB.

The resolution appears to be too large.

Good work! Congratulations on the submission!

Movement is nice, just the right amount of difficulty, you can't go wrong with a classic :>

Pretty fun and hectic. Nice job!

Ah, the spirit of Donkey Kong lives!!! I loved double-jumping over the obstacles. That felt so satisfying.

The first several rounds were very hard, but I persevered until I managed to beat it.

Note that the game crashed on me a few times, mostly after I got hit (but this didn't happen every time I got hit).

The primary gameplay loop is solid, but the game could have benefited from more levels, as well as collectibles or other secondary goals.

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoy it. I definitely want to add more bells and whistles to the game. I created a fixed & updated version if you want to try it.

I was expecting to find donkey kong at the top of the stage! haha good job

Developer

Haha, it was a consideration  :D

Music was somewhat repetitive, gameplay was slightly glitchy regarding collision with the barrels. Not a bad game, a enjoyed the sound effects and getting points, it seemed strange that when you win you don't get any points for it, but it was fun overall.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I could see the music getting repetitive. I guess that is why I kept the game short in length. I could definitely add more of a completion reward too.

Addicting game! The description says arrow keys should work for movement, but they didn't for me in either the web or Windows build. Main thing I'd like to see is a better scoring system, maybe one that rewards faster progression as opposed to the amount of barrels you jumped over. As it is right now, the goal of getting to the end and the goal of scoring points seem a bit at odds with each other.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I do want to make the scoring system more meaningful. Right now its basically just watching numbers go up.

Doesn't work :(

Try installing the Executable if the HTML version doesn't work.

Super hard but so addicting! I did get a couple of freezes upon death (only colliding with one obstacle). Cute art style too :)

Developer

Thanks for playing! I figured out the freezing issue but unfortunately I cannot upload the fix during the jam voting period. Thanks for the appreciating the game despite the bugs :D

I can just stand on starting platform and get score for EZ 

and also game just freeze when you die winch is not so friendly

but music and art was decent 

Keep it up bro ;)

Thanks for playing! I think the freezing issue is when multiple objects strike the player simultaneously.
