Hello, thank you for playing the game! About the jump walking thing, i couldn't really  find a smooth way to stop it, if i do what you suggest im afraid that the sound will continue when the player is in the air which is kinda weird since the player doesnt take any steps, and yeah about the checkpoint part is kind of annoying, but hey now you can see where you re supposed to go, thank you for the feedback!

The colours and visuals of this game were really nice. It was pretty fun and it was cool seeing a game idea that was different than most of the other games.

Hello, thank you for the kind words and playing my game!

Concept is really cool.
I really wish jump sound was more of boing(bouncy sound) since character is so round and balloon-ish.
Platform placement and reveal could need more polish to make it more satisfying. It is the reason I didn't reach end of the game. I reached the place where platforms were in some sort of staircase. It got so frustrating after I died so many times and no platforms were near.
Other than that it was pretty fun.

Hello, thank you for the feedback! About the jump sound, i didn't really want to add jump sounds because there were quite some sound effects in the game(walking,landing) and i thought that the sounds will just be annoying to the player if there were too much sound, and about the platform reveal, i thought that it will be kind of annoying (especailly) at the staircase if a bunch of sounds just played simultaneously as a response to finding a lot of platforms, but yeah a visual feedback for discovering platforms would be great, noted, im sorry if you find some parts of the game frustrating, i tried to put signs to tell the player were supposed to go, but im glad you had fun

A good jump sound actually makes it much more satisfying/enjoyable.
Also yeah bunch of sound with discovering platforms would be annoying.
Yeah signs are great way to do that. Visually looked pleasing too.

I think the concept is cool, leaping blindly through the stage to reveal what's there. I like the colors and the glow. Good job!

Developer

Hello thank you for playing my game! You did a good job aswell

The visuals are cute and the colors go really well together. The SFX and music are great but the music stops after a while. Besides that the game mechanic is fun and interesting. Great work!

Developer

Hello, thank you for the feedback! Yes, the music stops, that is intentional, since i want the player to have a kind of a mysterious feel, and i feel like the music was interrupting that feel, i put the music as sort of an intro to the game

very fun to jump and see to find out if there is a platform! The title of the game reflects very well the spirit of the game. I feel like the background could have been a bit more elaborated at certain points. 

Developer

Ah yes, i haven't thought much of the background, a transitioning background would certainly add up to the atmosphere, thank you for the feedback!
