I'm terrible at sock chasing apparently. Very well done, the leaderboard is great!
No worries, sock chasing takes some practice :)
Thank you for checking out the game and for the kudos. Really appreciate it!
Had a lot of fun playing! Nice job, the leaderboard added a nice touch
Appreciate the compliments and thanks for checking out the game!
Damn this hooked me way to much because of the leaderboard! Could be personal, but the figures in the static background somehow made it hard to focus.
Yeah I agree, some more optimization is needed for the background/foreground contrast. I'm glad it it hooked you, and thanks so much for the feedback :)
I loved that you made a leaderboard for a game jam! Fun visuals too!
Thanks for playing and for the kind words!
Great jumping feel and art style! Love it!
Thanks so much, happy you enjoyed it :)
Nice game for a jam! Leaderboard integration is very good addition as well.
The only bitter point that comes to my mind is the instant death. Probably giving the player few hearts and taking them out once you collide with the enemy or fall, instead of instant death on any mistake would improve the game.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Pretty good, I like the theme and the different worlds are very diverse. A progress bar might be nice, to know how much is left of the given level but otherwise its a very nice and polished feeling game.

Oh that's a good idea. I'll have to keep that one in my if I ever expand this.
Thanks so much for the kind words and for the input!
Unique take on the theme, the level progression is also crazy with this one, could only get to #47, well done!
Thanks for playing. #47 is pretty good, I definitely made it challenging the more and more you go so you did good :)
Damn this was really hard for a platformer, loved the art style and the music!
Appreciate it. Yeah, it can be challenging. I wanted a level select ultimately, so people could at least practice, but I didn't have the time. Really glad you enjoyed it though :)
This was fun, Really cool you have a leader board in there.
Thanks for playing and glad you think so :)
Colors really pop off, so cool you got a leaderboard in, and music really fits!
Thanks for playing and happy you liked the color palette :)
Nice one, I love layer of competitiveness introduced by the leadearboard, though my reaction ain't the best so I only made to gaining 1600 points. Visuals are nice as well.
I perhaps would only like to have something like a 2nd chance, maybe by introducing concept of hp in a way, that will get you to survive when you running into a tile (instead of instant reset), but maybe current implementation adds an element of hardcore to the game :)
Thanks for checking out the game!
I really wanted a level select on there, so people could practice the stage without fear or starting over. But alas, jam time constraints. You know how it goes.
Appreciate the feedback and glad you enjoyed it :)
The game is simple and well done. But there's some specific aspects that I really really loved about it. Firstly the leaderboard, which works is soo good. I wasn't expecting that. Other than that the game is simple in terms of gameplay but the premise, the story, the "where's your other sock" theme is the thing that hit me. That's what we need, these kinda everyday life themes! Loved it
Also when I enter my name and submit to the leaderboard, the loading icon that spins was spinning around a fixed origin point instead of like a real circle, burst out laughing when I saw that, please don't change it, super funny and suits your game!
Yeah, that spinning icon is totally a feature....yup a feature and completely intentional >.<
Haha glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the detailed post :)
Wooow, its very addicting. Nice game. Spent way too much time playing this. Great stuff. Art and music matches the theme so well.
So glad you think so. Thanks for playing!

I love that you had a similar Idea on the topic than we did. Very nice execution. Impressive that you included a fully functioning leader board and settings menu. The game runs very smooth, but sometimes its too fast for me so I couldn't really see what the objects are that im dodging. Are they 3 socks on top of each other? Maybe finetuning the background and foreground colors a bit more would help.
Yeah there needs to be some contrast adjustments to the background/foreground, and maybe a darker outline on the character and hazards. Thanks so much for checking it out and for the feedback!
Well done, surprised how well the music fitted the setting. And the great level design really made me ignore the simple movements.
Awesome, glad you like the level design and music direction. Thanks for giving the game a try! :)
Really enjoyed this! The movement was really satisfying (just the right amount of hangtime in the air from jumps) and though the visuals were great too (loved the sock Greek gods in the background)
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the jump mechanic, as well as the backgrounds. The greek gods was definitely my favorite background. My wife had some fun creating that background lol. Appreciate the kind words and thanks for checking it out!
