Fun concept i love the explosion in the beginning as he busts out of the lab. The jumping is tricky to time it right, but the challenge was on! Would love to see a leaderboard for this game and you'll have folks competing and coming back to beat that last score! Maybe my advice would be to make it a bit easier to avoid obstacles early on and progressively make it harder cuz it took my  awhile to beat score 68, but maybe im just a newb!

Solid runner! The running animation was very nice to look at

Managed to get your high score (divided by 10) !
Very fun game with nice animations and a music loop that makes me wanna boogie XD
Maybe the jump could lead us a bit further because the game is a bit hard from the start because of that

Developer

Haha nice, I hope I figure out how to make the cat stay in the air for longer at the start.
Thank you for playing!

What you can do is put the gravity to 0 while the player is holding the jump button until a set timer ends. So that you can control the time spent in the air and don't get any unfair jumps because of too much reaction time (lol)

Like : every frame add 1 to the timer and put gravity to 0 if jump is held than if the timer reaches 10 reset it and wait until the jump button is pressed again.

Easy to get into and very addictive!

Perfect for a pick up and play browser experience.

Awesome job for your first jam game, congrats!
