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 :)

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).

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!)
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
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!
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.
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!
Honestly didn't expect to play this for as long as a did, you created something that is genuinely fun and challenging! Love it!
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...
this was fun, but a bit boring without stuff to do besides jump between platforms
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 <_<).
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!
Fun little game! Gets nicely more challenging as you go on.
