Very nice game. I included it in my LOWREZJAM compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

the timing starts to get a bit frantic, got to 125 coins before i fell. good job, didn't really notice the low resolution so the simple graphics hid it well. the game play was fun, may have been fun to have a key to switch directions as well so you have to choose which branch you jump to also there is no penalty for not chopping branches as you go past and just focus on jumping higher, and you still get paid for just jumping up.
I assisted on a game for this jam. would love to hear your ideas on our game :)

Hey thanks a lot for trying our game and for the very thorough feedback!
The reason why you don't get punished for not chopping is in the score design.
New step +1
Chop a branch +3
Considering the fact that the longer you play, the harder it becomes, then you want to try and chop down the branches as much as you can so that you can get a higher score before it becomes too hard to play.
Thanks again! I loved this super low resolution restriction :)
