The game is fun, and I'll put some more time into it to try to beat it! Most of the difficulty stems from the low friction when landing on blocks.
The controls are too sloppy for the amount of precision that you need
love the graphics and simple gameplay. I'd totally like to play a version with infinite lives, so I can see the later levels!
Bit too fast at moving side to side, but otherwise, decent gameplay. Nicely done!
It seemed to me that the controls could have been a bit better. Lack of variable jumping is kinda annoying. Overall though not bad.
Nice game, a bit hard for me but it didn't kept me from not playing it a long time.
People are saying the controls aren't tight enough, but for me they are fine. The real travesty is A LIVES SYSTEM. Really? It's making the challenging platform jumps a lot less fun when after 5 deaths I have to start all over.
Especially considering that if you die holding left, you're almost guaranteed to off yourself on the left wall right after you respawn.
All things said and done though, this is a pretty fun game, reminiscent of I Wanna Be the Guy or meatboy, so good job!
Also, you can get infinite minimalists score on the first stage by spamming Enter to reset the stage. Pretty sure that's unintended ;)
Controls are really smooth and tight, audio is unobtrusive but supportive and graphics are great.
I suck at platformers, but this is a great game.
Broxxar: Yeah thats a bug! :)
Yeah, maybe 5 lives is little. But it's a very short game.
Very fun to play. I found that difficulty really entertaining. +1 for choosing cool colors!
Wow, really fantastic. I love music, sounds, graphics... And left Click ;) Really good job, Congrats !
Nice graphics, the gameplay was a bit too difficult to me, it gets frustrating having to start all over if you get game over. Also the jumping sound was super annoying.
IM GOING TO SMASH MY KEYBOARD ASKLHJFGGSDKJHASDGJHKGD
good job!
Arrow keys are way too sensitive and slippery for proper play IMO.
It's OK to be hard but this is way too brutal.
I really dig it, don't get me wrong on there. IMO if you improve the controls a just a tad it would be a massive improvement to the overall experience.
Nice animation on the character.
I found a bit frustrating to have to restart from the beginning when you lose, cause your game is hard (the character is hard to control).
But good job :)
I had too much trouble jumping with precision due to the sliding around of the character. Didn't get far, sorry. Tried the first level half a dozen times and just kept falling off.
Good game with great controls and a nice graphics. It's fun to play. Audio is good too.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I hate it. but in a good way hahaha
