Thanks for the constructive feedback! It's alomst impossible to objectively evaluate your own work so comments like this are very appreciated
Just before the jam I was learning about jump buffers and coyote time so that was fresh in my mind for this (and they are both there in this game). I think allowing shorter hops is a good idea but it didn't cross my mind during the jam. Everything else just came down to time! I started the jam late as I wasn't going to participate, but when I saw the theme it inspired me to take a shot!
