Kinda remind me the Sam Hogan - Where's bill?
I love it. Btw parkour is bit too hard on me. I lost my 10 min progress.

reminds me of roblox obbys… and some games like jump king.

additionally - i recently play games with audio but for this one i needed to shut it off - ways too loud + not the best.

not saying that menu is itself glitched, doesn't launch in fullscreen so the only way to play is to shift-click on frame and open in new tab (while it should open in fullscreen, imo)…

I tried playing the browser version, but the alignment was off. The opening screen was completely cut off, and in game the top of the platforms were at the bottom edge of the screen so it was impossible to see what I was standing on. With some work this will be a cute platformer though!

great game.

I've got microwaves in my game submission as well!

A little slippery and therefore challenging to climb up and up.  Perhaps in the future use a couple different images and add slight animation to your character for more polish. Microwaving coins is a little non-traditional, would be nice to see you collect a variety of pizza slices, microwave popcorn and TV dinners perhaps.

In reading the instruction page, it seems that there is a hint there may be other things to collect to microwave beyond coins.  I didn't get too high up the screen but only found coins until sadly falling down and down again.

What can I say—I’ve always enjoyed microwaves, and this game fully understood the assignment. A microwave platformer that makes no sense shouldn’t work, but somehow it totally does. It’s weird, chaotic, and genuinely fun. I laughed, I was confused in the best way, and I kept playing. Warm, unhinged, and oddly charming.  would reheat again.

Nice graphics, movement all works fine, sound seems a little high but that's fine, I love how you've taken a simple platformer and made it a bit more interesting by using a Microwave Robot - that's really neat

this game is awesome and tricky! I love the little troll at the end, and the microwave sound is awesome. I got a bit tired of hearing the same jump sound effect over and over again and the character could benefit from some animations, but overall really solid work!
