Really really tough game! It functions as a great rage game and the map is designed beautifully to make you fall as far as possible lol - I enjoyed the game!

Very good execution, looks like you drew inspiration from jump king :) loved the art, only the player doesn't really fit. Great game overall!

Cool, but  the start is way too hard, especially how you cant see tha platform above. However, the movement felt fun to play around with and feels satisfying, althought to improve the art I would make it more cohesive but the theme is intergrated very well and I enjoyed it, well done :)

Best game I've played yet! I couldn't reach the sun but this may be one of the few jam games I come back to. And if I ever beat it I'll let you know! Overall, absolutely fantastic. 5/5. EDIT after over an hour of playing, I finally beat it. And my opinion of the game has only grown. 6/5!

Huh, hard and interesting. Game make you think, so it's not a bad puzzle. 4.5/5

Nice atmosphere you've created here. Well done.

I think i'm repeating what others have said, but I think if there was a dynamic camera system in play it would ease off a little of the frustration (+ having a background w/ layers would make visuals even better) as well as the character design could definitely be given a few more minutes of work, but overall i think this game has a strong concept and is pretty well executed

Really cool game! I love how you incorporated the 321 mechanic into this genre. Environment art also looks really nice!

Very good game, a good combination of Jump King and Getting Over It. The sprite are really great, but the player look weird compare to others sprites. Music are awesome !

great game with a simple concept, I like the difficulty and the artstyle, my only critique is that u cant see whats coming ahead of u sometimes which means u can take a big fall even tho its not ur fault, other than that great game!

Fantastic. Simple concept executed well. I don't mind the difficulty, but I wish the first bit was a little easier before ramping up. Overall well done!

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, I realized later that it could be a little easier at the beginning. It was too late :(

This is a great game, different and in which the theme of the game jam is implemented. I liked the gameplay, although I wasn't really fascinated by the graphics or the music, I think the gameplay makes it very good. Good job!

This game is so cool! As you said, it has a similar idea to the game I submitted, but it's different enough and is executed in such a differently wonderful way, it's awesome. It may have taken 45 minutes, but I reached the sun, and that ending sure is creepy. Great job on the game, I had so much fun reaching the sun!

Developer(+1)

Wow, you are one of 4 ppl that I know (including me and my wife) who has reached the Sun :D Good job! I am glad you liked it :) Looking for more games similar to ours :D

Oh wow that's a great honor!

There's nothing more frustrating than seeing your character hitting all the surfaces while falling yet still managing to get to the rock bottom lol. Lovely art style, the character visuals seems a bit out of place. Nice game overall!

Submitted(+1)

Unlike many other people, I enjoy suffering (I don't). But I hate the game (I don't -- It's a cool concept).

Developer(+1)

I hate this comment (I don't) :D

Submitted(+1)

Cool game idea, and cool implementation of the theme! I like the art style and the gameplay (even if it is frustrating when you fall from a high distance). Nice job!

Submitted(+1)

It is so frustrating. Those dudes in the background probably suicide because of failing this game lol (jk)

Developer

Actually, it's true about them :D They couldn't reach the Sun :)

Submitted(+1)

think the idea is cool and it is a challenge but nothing in the game was outstanding, nothing was bad but the art, gameplay, music wasn't standing out to me like in some other games I've played again none of it is bad, but things feel stiff and don't engage me too much. would work on game feel next time, but overall, pretty solid game.
