reminded me a lot of cat mario just without hidden obstacles 馃槢 music would have helped, good job overall!

Like Geometry Dash this gave me that feeling of irritation but necessary completion that I also find satisfying in games. Thank you for creating this!

Very fun game! I liked the rolling bits and the lion sprite!

I was playing the circus charlie theme in my mind while playing and then I read the description. It feels pretty similar to it.

You are missing the theme, but good job.

Developer

Yeah, should add music and sounds.

Very fun little game! I like how you introduced a new gameplay element each section, and they were also all very unique! Sadly there is no audio but oh well. I can imagine that some people will break their system while playing this lol.

Yeah lol. You can incorporate the theme by breaking your system out of frustration while playing this game.

Nice! Too bad you didn't manage to incorporate the theme. But well done on the things you got in there! :D

This was a fun take on the "impossible game" type of obstacle course 2d side scroller. Sadly no use of the theme or lore. The controls were pretty easy to get use too although the jump felt just off a bit. The player momentum seemed to be lost immediately once you let go of a direction. That allows for really precise platforming but felt off in this case. Other than that, fun little game. I enjoyed it. Keep up the gamedev dream! I streamed it here.

Developer

Thanks man. But you missed the Springs and Swings level.
