Ranked from 87 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
In this game you must get higher by jumping on platforms, but you don't have control over jumps (jumping is automatic). Also, your controls depend on the platform you landed. So you are out of jump control and the controls change 'every' jump (depending on level generation).

Did your team create the art for this game during the 48 hour time slot?

Yes

We created all art during the game jam

Did your team create the audio for this game during the 48 hour time slot?

Really fun and interesting arcade game! Could be a super fun phone game time waster, great work! My highscore was 40, those moving platformers were very difficult :)

Submitted

When I started the game, I couldn't imagine it could get that engaging and fun. Well done :)

And if you had time, I'd be thankful if you try my submission <3

Gosh I really want to play this on my phone when I'm waiting for the bus! Excellent little mechanic and I like the music and little sound design when jumping and landing, it really adds to the game feel! We attempted a similar mechanic with timed jumps but we did it in a more puzzle focused platformer way, so it's interesting to see how others portrayed this idea of having no control over the jumping (or moving, for that matter!)

It's relaxing, frustrating, and FUN at the same time!

nice game. my highest score is 26 lol

Hey, thanks for stopping by the stream last night, I rated just now and the VOD is posted here if you're interested: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/681374698

Submitted

I just rated your great game! Thank you very much for watching the stream!
I would appreciate it if you could check out my game too!

Submitted

Surely, this could be a potential addicting mobile game like flappy bird. It's seemingly easy yet not so frustrating nature. If there was a too see the global highscore, that would be neat!!!

Developer

Thank you for playing and feedback,  I plan to release it on mobile, will start working on it when the rating period ends and will add global leaderboard then.

Submitted

It's a lot more challenging than it looks. I had a lot of fun trying to get a new high score, getting nervous when I got pretty high up. Good game!

Developer

Thank you for playing, yeah the challenge is there, but the art isn't, will fix that after the rating period ends.

Submitted

This would make an excellent phone game! really enjoyed playing it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing, also I plan to release it on mobile, will start working on it when rating period ends.

Clean, simple, and very challenging. Thanks for submitting this to my live stream.

Developer

Thank you for playing it on stream and the feedback!

It’s a very fun game, could work well as a mobile game, the art needs a little more work as is kinda boring, the collisions on the platform feel a bit weird as well.

Developer

Thank you for playing and feedback, yeah the art needs work (it was my first game jam), the collision are bad on the edges of platforms, also I plan to release it on mobile, will start working on it when rating period ends.

Submitted

Cool game! I saw it on Taco's stream and think it's really good!

Nice sounds and interesting approach to the theme!

Great job!

Thank you for playing and the feedback, appreciate it!

Submitted

It's very enjoyable, I like it a lot!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and the feedback.

Submitted

Honestly didn't expect to play this for as long as a did, you created something that is genuinely fun and challenging! Love it!

Developer

Thank you very much, and first it seems basic but it drags you in :D.

Submitted (1 edit)

It's a fascinating game, could be fleshed out more, but more entertaining than solitaire!! PS: Don't read the description of my video... It may give you bad ideas...

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and the video, yeah the game needs better graphics (I am not artist :D), and also maybe some more mechanics. The plan is to release it on mobile so if you want, you can watch out for that.

Submitted

this was fun, but a bit boring without stuff to do besides jump between platforms

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, too bad you find it boring, but maybe I can add more mechanics just need to see what kind.

Submitted

Omg, this game is super addictive. Very good job. I'd play the shit out of this on my smart phone at work (when no one was looking <_<).

Developer

Thank you very much, how did you manage to play it on a smart phone, wondering because I want to make a mobile version.

Submitted

This is a really fun twist on a mechanic that seems like it's been done to death. I was worried when I saw "you can't stop jumping", but I was pleasantly surprised once I started playing. The controls were very intuitive and the physics felt very well-tuned. Super addictive and I would download if this was released as a mobile game. Fantastic job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and the feedback. There is a plan to release it on mobile after the game jam ends, so if you want, you can follow me for updates.

Submitted

Great! I'll keep an eye out for it. We'd love your feedback on our game as well. SpaceBus

Fun little game! Gets nicely more challenging as you go on. 

Developer

Thank you for playing, I created a simple difficulty curve that dictates the random generation, so it gets harder, but it needs some improvement.
