Good job with this one, It felt nice and simple and one of those games you could spend ages on trying to beat your highscore. The style was pretty neat and overall I quite enjoyed the game.

Developer

Thanks for giving it a go! Glad to hear that you enjoyed it :)

This was fun! The mechanics are simple, but if feels very rewarding. I was able to reach 2 minutes, it was very satisfying. I was afraid the umbrellas would be too slippery, but actually everything in the physics felt smooth, which is not a small feat to achieve. :)

I liked the design of the buildings in the background! The sound-design was also really soothing. I had a neat experience overall.

Developer

Thanks so much for the Feedback! Initially we thought the umbrellas should be slippery but during testing it made jumping far too difficult. Glad to see that you enjoyed it!

Very nice submission, congratulations! :)

It felt good to jump on the umbrellas, while constantly trying to avoid birds: it's a cute idea, and creates an interesting contrast with the greyish city around. I appreciated the consistency of the details (like having different colors for different types of umbrellas/platforms). The controls were also really smooth and precise: they were responsive enough to make me feel accountable for every fall :')

The only thing I might suggest is to make some birds more visible... The grey crows were pretty mimetic over the background :)

Great job, enjoyed it a lot!

Thank you so much, glad you had fun!

I do agree that the crows are hard to see at points, if we do go back to this we'll definitely try and make them more visible.

Good job! This was cute, I like the style you went with. You incorporated the theme in a smart way too!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

The art team came up with most of it so I'll pass off the praise to them.

Nice entry!
The controls were very simple to understand and use, I liked how the air control allowed me to jump with good precision, how the platforms (umbrellas) stood out well against the background. The frog was adorable and I liked the ambient sounds used in game.

Wonderful to hear!

It took a bit to get the jumping down the way we wanted but glad to see that its being praised. Thanks for playing!

We thought alike rain and frogs. The controls feel responsive and floaty. The rain sound and crow caw sells the urban ambiance well. The pigeons could be made moving instead of levitating in one place.

Developer

Hehe yup! Thank you for playing and we appreciate the feedback! :)

I love the frog character. Add a double jump or something and I think you've got a  fun concept!

Developer

It's a cute lil froggo hey! Thanks for playing and for your double jump suggestion! :)

Submitted(+2)

Wow this was a really good concept, and the controls are well made. When I play a game, I expect some fun, graphics is of negligible importance to me, and this game delivers the gameplay amazingly! The jump controls were also very smooth. Your programmer did a great job in the gameplay juice :)

Developer

Thank you! Stoked to hear you enjoyed the gameplay :D

Such a cool name :D The game kinda felt like the chrome dino game, just that it was WAYYY more difficult. I found it a bit hard to adjust the jump since often, the gaps between the umbrellas were too large and I couldnt make a tiny enough jump to reposition myself on my current umbrella. But sometimes I did make it and that felt cool :)

Developer(+1)

Hehe definitely was inspired by the chrome dino game :D Yeah sometimes the bird spawns do make it a little tricky to time your jumps! Our programmer did play around with the distance between umbrella platforms and jump height, it's a tricky thing to get right but I'm glad you thought the game was cool! :D

Thanks for playing ARez!
