Nice work! love the dialogue in the background!

Good foundation, would be cool to see some music or have the background change as you go further up. But good job with the platform generation, I never felt stuck so it works well!

I like the dialogue while your jumping -made the experience more interesting! This was fun -nice work! :D

Definitely want a way to respawn if you fall off, restarting the page does the job but yeah, feels like it's just missing.

I actually think the gameplay is really tight, and you art does a great job of conveying how nice that jump is.  You did well, especially with not having built random generation before, shit is tricky to get right!

I enjoyed my time with it, and i think the bits of philosophical frog thoughts are actually very relevant for the covidpocalypse, nice to read some thoughts like that.

Great job! 

Would appreciate your thoughts on mine as well if you have a chance!

The concept is interesting but a respawn system would be welcome,  having to refresh the page every time you fall is not ideal. 
Since there is no health or lives counter, the camera could just follow the frog down if it lands in a block or auto restart the level when you fall.

I wish that you would respawn when you died, but its a good concept.  The game definitely needs lots of work.

Thank you, I will definitely improve this after the jam

Enjoyment: This had that "one more go" kind of hard fun, but having to refresh the browser each time I died kind of killed that. It needs a quick respawn.

Concept: I like the idea of a procedural vertical platformer. It was interesting that you had to platform fast before blocks spawned above and blocked your jumps.

Presentation: Nice tiling texture. A little plain, but I guess the inside of a well would be pretty dull... The depressed froggy thoughts were an interesting touch.

Use of the Limitation: I never made it very high, but I assume there's just the one level?

Thank you for playing and commenting. The comment on presentation was spot on. I plan on making it having an ending but I didn't have enough time to make the story so I just went with "thoughts of the frog". Not having an ending is probably too depressing.
