I like the take on platformers with limited numbers of jumps. It feels like a really unique take on a stamina bar but with a more interesting way to refill it. wouldn't mind seeing a few more levels and maybe some inclines to get out of the pools of water instead of having to jump every time.

1,000 ft (Demo)I love the idea! After i got into the goal of the second level it didnt let me go any further. It just kinda stayed on the "Well done" screen. A bit more polish on the platforming + more levels and this game has great potential :D

Hands of the ColossusI like the concept of having limited jumps but I feel like it may be a little underutilized, as is the getting bigger aspect. I liked the controls though, and although its interesting how you jump higher if youre lighter it can also give you less control in for example the section where you need to jump through the hot tubes and dont want to hit your head on the ceiling.

Long Legs LarryA cute little platformer with a nice kind of risk/reward mechanic of controlling how far you can (or want to) jump versus how quickly you can move. I found it a bit difficult to get decent control of the sponge, and very much wished I would absorb water faster, but a fun time nevertheless <3
