Very nice! Difficult, a little frustrating but fun! I did feel that there should be some sort of indicator for how hard I was going to jump, but well done either way.

Like the game idea and mechanic! But is there a reason, why there is no charge bar for when you throw the ball?

Developer

That is on purpose! It's part of the challenge, just as there is no checkpoint. The game will be frustrating but it will also make it all the rewarding to overcome!

hmmm so the frustration was on purpose?

Developer (1 edit)

Yes! It's about overcoming that frustration. Through practice the player can improve. Having a charge bar would be like telling them to memorize when to jump or not when it's more about improving your timing skills. By allowing the player to improve his skills the reward for completion is also much higher. We had a player who's first run took an hour and a half to complete the level, but after an additional hour of gameplay he was able to complete the level in less than 5 minutes!

Fun platformer mechanic!
