The artwork and the concept were really good. I think it needs some indication of how far you'll jump as I really struggled to line up my jumps properly.

i really like the flow of the game! Some levels feel really smooth

Good job! I really liked how you introduced new concepts without introducing new items or abilities. It's just the jump button, platforms and spikes. Level design is really key in these kind of games, and you nailed it.

Great idea, I really enjoyed it

Quite a unique idea! Congrats

This is a very well made game!! Very fun and unique! The gameplay never got old, and the levels were all challenging but not frustrating! The visuals also look amazing and fit the theme of the game perfectly. The game is amazing for a jam game!! Well done :D

Great execution on the mechanic, very polished. There is quite a lot of levels (they didn't feel repetitive or anything, just good content).

I think the jump right before the wall jumps on the level "Dropper" is a bit too tricky, I finished the game and that was by far the level with the most retries.

Thanks for the feedback! I probably should have moved "Dropper" to be one of the later levels.

This was super cool but also very difficult haha. I think with some mechanical polish it could be incredible. It's already great though.

Cool game but way too hard for me :(  Felt just a little too out of control ;)

Overall well done otherwise.

The jumping felt super out of control so nailed the theme

Maybe add a bit of a squash and dust when you land to give it some more impact

Loads of polish for a jam game

Love it

Developer

Hopefully not too out of control as to not be fun :)

There's a bit of squash and dust, but perhaps it wasn't noticeable enough.

I hate this game and I can't stop playing.

Such a simple idea, but it requires finesse to really get through, and each level completed is so satisfying. It's a tricky balance to find, and that's especially true in a game jam setting.

Well done!

Great art and a really, really nice feeling jump. Seriously, the jump feels so good to use which is impressive because most platformers don't quite nail that. Landing feels a little strange? It's hard to put into words which isn't super helpful sorry. It's like as soon as you mess up you know theres nothing you can do to fix it.

I think I know what you mean. I feel like the main issue is the time it takes between realizing "oh I'm dead," and actually respawning. I added in a restart button so you can press it when you know you're gonna fall. Probably should have included that in the level text somewhere!

Nice...

Nice relaxing puzzle music, good pixel art and fun 1 button jumping puzzler.  The last level was my favourite, where you have to do a big jump slide right across the level.  Would be great to see more levels for this.

This is a great candidate for expansion for mobile, I could easily see myself losing hours in bed playing this.

Fun mechanic and nice level progression, adding new challenges as you play.  There were a couple times where I felt like the smallest bit of the top of my head stopped me from a big jump when it hit the ceiling :(

Submitted(+1)

Fun and beautiful, with a really unique and challenging mechanic. I wasn't able to finish it but it was a great experience !

Submitted(+1)

Well done dude!

Clever idea with a solid execution! Lining up the jumps was tricky, but I really felt like I accomplished something when I finally made them. The only problem I had was that I got stuck on a roof a few levels in. I was trying to take a shortcut, but I lost the ability to jump the moment I landed. I guess that's what I get for trying to cheat ;)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for pointing that out, I think I know which level that would be. Forgot to add spikes on it, whoops!

Submitted(+1)

Greate art! fun and challenging gameplay! Also, the naming of the levels was really helpful to have nothing to add really, other than a great job :)
