I feel nostalgic when playing this game :') reminds me of one of the minigames in Pou, if you know, and Doodle Jump :) overall it's a good game! I like the sound effects, especially the jumping sound effects :)) the background music is also good! Good job!

I got really into the game, nice little horrible squirrel :D

It was hard to control, but it was really good in general, i liked sounds and art so much.

Really neat game. I really like the design and color scheme of the game and the music matches everything so well. One thing I would like to note though is the nuts were hard to spot but overall good!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, will definitely be polishing this a bit more. :)

I love the idea because it reminds me of doodle jumper back in the early days lol.

Nice siple addictive infinite jumper, though if you added a trai renderer to the squirrel it might make it easire to see the direction it was jumping and control it better, or was that an intentional design choice?

Developer

It’s supposed to be chaotic therefore intentional, but I think that’s not a bad add feature in future iterations of this game. Thank you for the feedback!

it didn't really work for me i'm not sure what to do. i was pressing buttons and it was jumping randomally

Developer

Once you've got it started, it'll automatically bounce off of the platforms. All you need to do is direct the little squirrel left or right to avoid falling to your doom!

Developer

It’s just side to side :) But will add a tutorial section in the future! Thank you for the feedback!

This one is addicting! Despite it is a classical concept, I love your comment on this genre. Music is awesome, changing colors while you move up is a great touch. Also nut magnet is incredible idea.

In a nutshell, this is one of the coolest games in this jam. Nice work.
