It's a seemingly simple concept and mechanic, but pretty interesting to think about not just the platform to jump to next, but plan ahead the next platform after that since your standing position and axe position are so different. And probably not intended, but I laughed at being able to jump into the infinite void next to the tree for fun.

Haha yes, we added the falling damage at the end, but you gotta land to receive falling damage... If you just fall beside the initial platform, you simply fall forever!

really clever! Agree with the clarity issues mentioned below, but I had fun playing!

Two lumbrojacks and a ladder is a very clever way to meet the theme! There are some clarity issues, like how money is earned, how health is being lost, and the fact that double jumping is an option, but it was still enjoyable regardless of those. Good work!

Thanks a lot!

I agree with all of these. It's no excuse, but I ran out of time to clarify the mechanics after coding them! I'll make sure to do the tutorial/info earlier next jam.
