Use of the limitation
Jack has lived his whole life in a box. Until now. See how the story unfolds to see how I've further implemented the limitation.

Really loved the creative concept "Jack out of the box" simple and challenging gameplay. 4/5 ! Great job!
Thanks so much for playing the game and for the feedback!
The narrative touch was very immersing and atmospheric, loved it! I found the simple/minimalist graphics also matching to the game atmosphere. Maybe it was intentional, but movement felt very heavy and a little awkward, perhaps adding a little more bounce/decreasing inertia would make it feel more responsive?
Thanks for playing! This is great feedback. I definitely meant for the game's jump to have a bit of weight and "meatiness" but I think your criticism is completely valid. Definitely good feedback to keep in mind for my next platformer!
Loved the mechanics and enjoyed the narrative. Great atmosphere despite the simple graphics. Had a fun time with it!
Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words!
Took a bit of getting used to, but was very fun when I figured it out!
Kinda sad I reached the end I was really into it, I wanted to play more.
Also something I noticed when standing on a moving platform the ball warps? not sure that was intentional
Thanks for taking the time to play this, and I'm glad you had fun (pending the learning curve). The warp definitely wasn't intentional haha, but now that you mention it, I think I know what's causing it. Thanks for checking out my game!
I reached the end ! Really cool game, the narrative added a nice ambiance and the music was fitting as well.
Sometimes the double jump doesnt work, i think it's when you try to jump from the edge of a platform, otherwise the platforming felt good with a balanced difficulty
Thanks for playing and taking the time to get to the end! Also, thanks for mentioning the weirdness with the double jump, I have a hunch as to what might be causing that. Thanks again!
