I really don't understand what's happening. I tried pressing Space at the peak of my jump, and at the bottom, and at both times, but the results seemed random. Sometimes I would turn blue and survive the landing, sometimes I would explode in midair even though I was blue, and sometimes I didn't jump above the green line. Graphics and sound are good other than the graphics not telling me what to do.
Also, I would appreciate if you listed the URL as "Web (Flash)" so people know what technology it uses. Not everybody has Flash.
Really enjoyable, played it over and over again trying to improve my score. Simple and minimalistic but really enjoyable
I really loved this one! It's a little hard, but really fun once you get the hang of it.
HA! Awesome. Love the ending. This is a very simple idea but it's sooooooo addicting. Great job on nailing the theme!
Excellent game. I love how you indicated the altitude with those bars, it really helps (clouds could maybe look better, but wouldn't work as well). It's cute, simple and really fun. And the music is relaxing too!
Very nice. Took me a minute to figure out, but the gameplay is very well put together, and just as forgiving as it needs to be.
Cute game, but with me in control, the poor robot is never going to get all the way up... :( Music is nice, somehow fitting in in an unfitting way, still cool! Good effort!
Really simple and yet so fun. Would have thought the robot would have come prepared with a trampoline but oh well. Nice job!
Great job with the theme. You managed to make something extremely fun out of the most basic elements. Impressive! :)
Highly enjoyable and addictive. I couldn't get very high, but it sure was fun. the sound effects were a bit too loud, though/
I love this game! Great take on the theme and fun to play. I couldn't stop playing before he got up to her. The main screen, the title, the ending, it's adorable .

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.
Really liked this one. Simple yet fun and addictive. Great work!
