this game was really challenging, the one way platforms give a getting over it vibe, really frustrating but in a positive way. The controls feel nice i just couldn't play more bc i'm not good at it.

The concept and creativity is great, but I just couldn't play it...
I could hardly move off of the ground, the controls weren't really receptive, and the jumps were a little laggy.
I really wish I could play it, but I've already spent some 10-15 minutes with no progress...
I'm really sad I couldn't play it fully, but congrats for making your first game!

thanks anyway, there is still a lot of work ahead for me lol

I'm sure that just doing more game jams, getting more feedback and just making more games will definitely make you even better :)
I hope you continue to do games, if that's what you like, because it can be quite hard or frustrating, but it's worth the while...
I also hope you had fun whilst making the game, that's the most important!

Yeah i had a lot of fun, i really think this is the path i want to take with my life, i just gotta keep going till im better.
Wish you the best as well

Flappy bird meets Jump King!

The concept is pretty cool. Pretty brutal w/ the insta-falls and one-way platforms lol

My main thought is that the controls don't feel as precise and the visuals don't provide a lot of feedback for how difficult the game is. Maybe a more gentle difficulty curve could help, but the big would be making the character stand out a bit more and also make it clear what direction they're facing

There were a lot of times where I lost track of the character because they're the same color as the background, or I ended up jumping in the opposite direction because the character is just a blank square lol

There's definitely an interesting game here w/ some additional polish though

Really cool!
I tried moving at first with the wasd but it seems you cant change position in the air but once i got the arrow keys I start playing and I must say i could see an streamer playing this the same way they could with jump king or another game or sorts, there is an area where you get stucked if you fall ther is one of the diamonds to the left you cant stop bouncing from one place to the other. But it is a great job!!

The player controller feels pretty good generally, and the foundation of the game is good, but there is also some good growth opportunities too that could be improved. Like adding more feedback/juice for the player actions, or adding sounds/music/visuals, etc.

Overall as I say, it's a good game. Although the level design seems brutally unforgiving even by Fodian standards, lol. There is a lot of sections where one mistake sends you back literally to the ground floor, followed by big chunks that only send you back 5 seconds, then more sections that send you back to the very start. I think many games are a bit more reserved with those "fully wipe your progress" sections, but what do I know tbh

Overall it's a good game foundation with some solid potential too

I can tell this is a rage game, and it does a good job of that, but I think you should make the start a little easier. One way you could fix this is to move the start up, and to have the new beginning feel SUPER easy for you. this is still a very fun game

Came back and finally beat it:) But the first time it was cause I "cheated" maybe by hopping on those platforms at the top and clipping through  the one way floor Did it in 15 min, but the second time (I had to) I did NOT cheat and here is my time, sub 1 minute club : 

Also, sometimes I got stuck between cube and wall just bouncing non-stop, which gave me a reason to reset the time aha.

A game that shows that you do not need to go all fancy on visuals to be engaging... very nice and clean. takes a bit to get used to the controls but once you do, smooth sailing (till you hit a wall and ceiling and get sent back to the start, skill issue on my part tho). I wish it had full controller support, I can seem to move with controller but not jump. Adding sound effects would only add to the experience, helping  give a bigger feel for jumps/landings. I hope you work more on this as it is a solid base.

Submitted

Tough game, but fun! Love the clean and simple look. I just wish there were some sound effects and music.

Submitted

Was difficult to get used to controls, when you press just space bar but character jumps to the left, instead of just going up. But this is a classic platformer, very good first game.
