Bouncing felt pretty good!A little less floaty/more prescise on the movement and i think it'd be a nice precision platformer.
Nice work all, death noise got a good laugh outta me too.

Excellent work! Initially I really struggled because I didn’t realize you supported gamepad, I couldn’t have made it to the end on keyboard. Great art, music and comical adorable death wail.

This was pretty fun but also really hard. I had a lot of trouble getting the precision that I needed to make some of the bounces. Really fun spin on a platformer.

Nice concept! 
I love the idea of the bouncing to get hight on those platforms 

The art is nice and the sounds are great. really cute to hear the bouncing.
The game is challenging enough! 

Congrats on the submission!

Really cool idea, and solid execution. I feel like you explored the mechanics pretty thoroughly with the level design in a way that was consistently intuitive. The secret in the tutorial level was also a great touch ;)

pretty fun idea! i like the concept of "dribbling" your character to jump higher :)

i think the game speed was tuned a bit too slow, i feel if everything happened about twice as fast, the game would be a lot more engaging. the physics are very floaty... still, once you get into the flow of things, the levels do flow quite nicely,  quite good for your first entry id say, would love to see this polished up and expanded upon :3

This was such a cute game, loved the bouncy mechanic!! The dying sound was also really sad, and I did unimaginable things to that poor racoon because I am bad at these types of games. But overall really fun to play!

Really like the art and style on this one. Bouncing mechanic is also a lot of fun, a little hard to control. Amazing submission for joining halfway through, really good job!

Can get pretty hard if you're going for an all coins run, not gonna lie. Cute and fun though. Well done.

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, some coins in the final level are devious... And there are a few hidden in the tutorial :)

Developer

Thank you!

Those canon need to have a cue for when they shoot, it’s the mvp on my run. I enjoyed it, but the coins was too much of a pain since it’s precise bounce that make it you loose all momentum, and when we can slide, bounce and gain speed like that, i like trying to get as fast as possible, so i didn’t really bother collecting them all. But it’s a good mecanics to play around nice job

Developer

I agree, the cannons on the final level might be a bit overtuned. That said, choosing to go fast or collect coins is definitely part of it! You get a special image on the win screen for beating the game in under 90 seconds or collecting all the coins. You may enjoy trying to speedrun it :)

The raccoon is so cute! I don't think I've seen a bounce mechanic like this in a game before, so you get bonus originality points! I really liked the music and the art is just perfect! I am unfortunately very bad at platformers and couldn't quite get the hang of the bounce mechanic enough to get very far, but really great game!

Developer

Thanks for playing!
