I really liked the ramp up noise, it helped the timing of the jumps. I had a lot of fun with this one! Smooth controls and fun art. Nice job!

Hey, this was pretty good!  I liked playing as the cursed lovechild of Homestar Runner & Snoo, and the mechanics were easy to understand and utilize.  I'm trying to think of a valid criticism, but all I can think of is that it's pretty basic, which isn't even a problem for a jam game.

Keep up the good work! =)

The only think i found a bit wonky where the controlls, otherwise a really nice jam game!

My favorite out of the 15 games I played so far! A solid entry. Very nice combination of cues for the player to know when a jump comes! Blinking bulb + Background + sound

I like the detail of seing the corpses of previous attempts. A death animation and smaller spikes would be nice.

I loved that the jump could also be executed in mid air that lends to more interesting leveldesign which I see you have executed on.

Very enjoyable! I would have even played more levels

4.5/5

It's not exactly the only game in this jam to do the "jump is out of control" idea, but it's good fun nonetheless.

Nice idea and good levels. Maybe the spike can be little more forgiving with its hitbox

Short and sweet gameplay, overall neat concept. Would like more levels

Cute, short, fun. I wish he was less floaty.

The contol is very floary, which makes it hard to land on small platform, but it's a good, short platformer with a nice gimmic.

I made him floaty because I wanted things even less in control. It wasn't a good idea
