Challenging but extremely fun, this game is very polished and the art is amazing. The controls are a bit awkward on the keyboard, but it's still super addictive.

I loved this. Very imaginative concept and creative gameplay. Well done!
Really cool game! Took my e a while to get the hang of it. One issue I encountered is that I wasn't able to place the small platforms near the edge, so at one point my guy just fell down like 3 floors bcs I couldn't place anything underneath him. Also idk if it's just me but controller input didn't work for me.
I appear to have gotten the camera stuck on floor 63, I think it happened due to to the character having picked up a toooon of momentum

Outside of that, did another good run and got to 206, I don’t know what the target floor is to get to the end screen shown in the screenshots, but I think I did pretty well!
Placing platforms on top of the lil guy to make him pick up a ton of speed was super satisfying and I ended up doing a lot more runs than I expected. This game has a very nice addictiveness to it, haha. I do wish that the platforms also bounced from below, it would have been pretty funny to accidentally throw the guy back down! I ended up just ignoring the bubbles sadly because they overwrite the momentum the noob picked up so far. They would have been pretty fun otherwise! The slow-mo was a great mechanic and allowed some crazy momentum building!
I had a really nice time with this game! Great job!
Thanks for the feedback!
Yes,it seems you can pick up a bit too much momentum :P Will need to fix that (cool art composition, btw ;).
Having the platforms actually bounce you back down (instead of just stopping you) is a cool idea, might just do that if we polish it!
I think 206 is the highest score so far, congrats!
Happy you had fun playing :D
What a unique concept! Really enjoy the overall aesthetics of your game, super well done!
The physics felt really satisfying (I liked the bouncy balls ^^)! There was a dead spot on both ends where I couldn't move the platforms (unless that's intentional?), but it wasn't too hard to adjust once I found that out. Fun game :D
Really fun idea and great implementation! At first I was annoyed that I was thrown right into the action without warning but it didn't take long for me to grasp what I was supposed to do so I forgive you. I think this game would work really well with mouse controls (move to cursor position and place with left click).
Great job!
nice game, can be released on mobile probably? would be a great time killer
Amazing idea! I saw sometimes the little guy glitching in my tiles, but there is nothig wrong with that (since this is a game jam), and the game also always restore its state correctly, so good job on this! Just to be sure, check every frame of the little guy animation, because probably there are some extra white pixels sparse around where they should not be. Anyway this is another small issue, nothing particularly bad or dangerous.
I love the premise and the way it wraps up the game's core mechanic -- just watching that little guy get bounced higher and higher made me happy, and their comments on their progress in the game made me laugh outright. Apparently the balance of my game is a bit off, but I had a great time all the same!
Love the idea, and the execution is great. Overall great submission :)
Wow! This feels like... it feels like, like Tetris! Like a firefighting squad from game&watch! Like pinball! The fusion of these designs is absolutely amazing! I absolutely love it! well done!!!
Nice to see another tough game! I love the little quips that play after you lose each time. This would make a really great mobile game, and I think people would play it for real outside of this jam.
Great work!
