really polished. Kept me hooked to the end. Music and graphics great package

the controls are simple but is limited enough that it feels just like a rage platformer, i like it

Very nice art. There could have been some more guns, like a sniper that only shoots once but otherwise it was great already.

The game was very well crafted and the art was great.

great game! i enjoyed playing this one!  I appreciate the cool  art and the upbeat music, Straightforward concept but challenging. Keep it up!

I could see this being a full game release on steam :> Great work!!!

A cool concept that may have started reaching for the rage deep in my heart. I struggled ALOT with the final stretch of the game (where there's two columns of horizontal platforms with a large space in the middle) and to make it worse, I messed up on the very last jump before being free and had to start that section all over again.

The art and music are great tho! And the mechanics vaguely reminded me of rocket hopping in Halo 3.

The only suggestion I can really give this would be to add a "shots fired" counter. Could make for a cool way to encourage replaying it while trying to one up your friends.

Loved the music right away. Using a ridiculously powerful shotgun to launch yourself up the level is a super fun mech, and dialing in the aim to get just enough inertia to reach a platform feels great. Falling is frustrating in that fun way, and the physics feel nicely floaty while still being super reactive when you blast in the opposite direction of your momentum. Really well done!

Man, gunna age myself with this but-- it feels and plays like how I remember the best Flash-era games did. The presentation is certainly a step up from that era, but it has the same kind of addictive, complexity out of simplicity style of gameplay. Really liked it. Could see a less puzzle platformer style version of this with really dumb physics being fun as well.

I had the old Icy Tower game in mind while making this :) Thanks for the feedback!
