Super simple (in a good way) and for some reason I am strangely addicted to making this man jump higher. There's no music but somehow it works, I find myself becoming very zen when I play this game.

glad to hear :)

Simple game, but surprisingly challenging! Makes me wonder how the main character got into this situation, half naked and scaling a building lolol

Difficult control from beggining, but then very exciting game!

I really like the style and environment of the game. The jump mechanic feels good as well. I didn't make it to the end, but just short of the third level (if the character had hair, I'm sure the hair would have touched the next level :D). I kind of feel like you need something to do while in the air because on the higher jumps the game is kind of just mostly waiting. Lots of potential. Good job!

Thank you :)

Didn’t really get ragey, just bored towards the end, last couple minutes was spent thinking “why am I still playing this”

I did think the second stage was easier than the first, as it was way easier to keep track of specific visual landmarks to judge where you are. Also if I hadn’t read the instructions I would have played this completely wrong, intuitively I thought you’d want to hold LMB at the top of the jump to cannonball down with faster aerodynamics, and then release at the very top of the rubber band so you get the maximum amount of time with it propelling you upwards. I have no idea what the real physics behind it are but it strikes me as notable is my assumptions of when to start holding and when to release were both exactly wrong lol

I really like the environment with the buildings, and animals that make the world feel more alive and help estimated how far from the slingshot you are, but it's still very difficult to get good timing, especially when you can go so fast. Maybe it would be nice to have a sort of vertical minimap on the side to know where the character is relative to the slingshot. It's still very satisfying when you know you make a great bounce. But it doesn't feel as great when I completely mistime and lose a lot of progress 😅

Developer

Well speedrunning is all about 'git good' mentality so no hand holding >:) thanks for playing and feedback tho

I’ve never played a game that makes me tense my legs as much in my life. Other than it being a tad on the long side, I quite enjoyed this. There’s something really satisfying about landing a perfect bounce.

Those rubber bands must be made out of some crazy elastic
