This was very interesting, I liked the way you got the theme into this platformer in a unique way.
Interesting idea. I feel like the game would be more interesting if the changing of the platforms would happen automatically(Perhaps the player presses enter once and then it just keeps going).
I had a lot of fun playing this! I made it to Ultimate Bounce before giving up. The levels were very well designed and the concept is really good. I did find myself getting frustrated at several places, but the levels were short enough that it fueled me to keep going. After seeing Ultimate Bounce, it seemed too long for me to continue.
I also found myself often missing my timing because I had trouble creating a number of bullets then switching to the platforming. I would try to create five bullets, but then the first bullet hit before I could move the platypus. I really liked how quick it was to restart, but it sometimes felt a little frustrating waiting for the bullets to get across the screen before I could start the platforming; the waiting killed the pace. That being said, I can't think of a different way to do it.
This is a neat concept and really well implemented. Well done!

Thank you sincerely for the large amount of feedback, i think maybe if i added in some effects like zoom and screenshake, this could create a better beat effect and help the rhythm and pace. I do agree with your other points as well :)
Thanks once again
Game had an interesting concept, although I can't help but feel like the true intention behind the design wasn't fully realised. I feel like this game would work far better as a kind of rhythm game where you are forced to move or shift the platform to the beat. It honestly does look like that's what you were going for (especially considering the on screen prompts), but maybe ran out of time to fully implement.
If this game was able to be fully realised, I believe it has great potential, however it needs more time worked on it to be fully realised to what it could be. Great effort, all the same.
I would love for it to be a proper rhythm game as you described, unfortunately that's not possible for me in 48 hours
Thankyou for playing :)
I'd like to try this out (do you see my icon??). But my virus scanner is complaining about this game.
Its a shame really, i would've liked my brethren to play it :)
I assure you it is not a virus :)
Very interesting design! Had to give up at the "timing" level, but wanted to keep on going.
Thanks for the comment and for playing, some of the levels do need a bit of tweaking :)
