this was a great experience. There was a sense of mystery about where I was descending - and the audio contributed towards that. The mechanic was quite straight forward, but still it felt tense every time I jumped - especially if missed a platform and then was scrambling to find a new platform before I'd fallen too far! You had some nice touches that were appreciated, such as the character didnt fall off the platforms too easily or bounce/slide when landing. I was intrigued to see what was at the bottom, would have been a nice touch if you'd set up a little environment at the bottom to give the game a tiny bit of narrative! Good job and thanks for taking part!

Briefly explain your games interpretation of the Pacifist theme?
the core mechanic is to fall down and ideally survive, getting to the ground level. there are no other characters and the perfect run is one without violence. of course, there is the violence of a bad fall and player character death if you hit a platform or the ground at too high of a velocity, however it is not depicted in a graphic way.

Did you enjoy the jam? Is there anything you'd change if you could start over?
yes! i don't know that i would change anything. maybe more atmospheric audio design such as music changing more as you descend
Aren't you awesome for being creative and taking part?
