Anything you want to say to players before they play?
I didn't have really much time so this is a small game for this jam. Until the deadline I am probably still going to upload an update because the final art isn't in the game yet

Simple but fun, I like how you can buffer inputs and do these combo dashes.

You could easily make a score multiplier for going without stopping, I think it would make it a little more fun.

Developer

Yes that's a good idea maybe I will also make it into a mobile game after the jam

well, it is adorable

Well done, but it could be fun to have unexpected control at each "jump"

It's a good idea, but pretty unlosable. There needs to be an incentive to go fast or at least try to combo the dashes. A good idea would be if there is a wall approaching the player from behind.

I think your game is really adorable! Great twist on a classic format.

Hehe it is a fun little game, kinda wonder how I've never seen something similar before! It should have score tracking ans get faster eventually. This has potential for further development! I took the same path as well, taking a classic game and adding... a twist! 

Developer

It actually gets faster over time. When you reach a score of around 172 it is as max speed I believe. I also thought that it could be really easily developed further

This is pretty unique to gameplay to a game that has been cloned a million times.

Nice graphics, could develop the game a bit more with coins or a main menu etc.

Developer

I thought about a main menu but for a game that is played in the browser I thought it wouldn't be suitable. Coins would be interesting or I could add an ending/events but I am going to think about that after the jam has ended.

The idea is fun, but I wish the games difficulty was a bit higher.

I updated it to have a harder difficulty, thanks for the suggestion
