JGgamess said it perfectly — sometimes the simplest games are the most enjoyable, and the "just one more try" reaction Friendlybite had says everything about how well the core loop works. Ghost Icon Game Studio's point about the controls being well-balanced — not too fast, not jumping too high — is the kind of feedback that shows the game feel is genuinely solid. The playable menu RafaelDev77 called out as a creative touch is a really neat detail that most jam games skip entirely. Tio Celso's jumpthru suggestion for the platforms is worth implementing post-jam, and a scrolling background like CLEDU mentioned would add a lot of visual depth without much extra work. The fact that this was a long-held idea finally getting its proper jam is a great origin story too!

Feel free to check out my sky platformer too if you get a moment!

Sometimes these simple games are way more enjoyable than AAA titles.

Developer

Thank you so much that means a lot!

It´s a bit addicting… JUST ONE MORE TRY! I had fun failing over and over. I had some problems with the menu, though. I didn´t get that I was supposed to click on the start button. I jumped on it, under it, clicked every other button, before I realized I could click on it. Maybe a me-problem. And you could say the frustation fits the theme 😅

Ya the idea for this was to not only test your platforming skill but also your patience lol

Submitted

I could only get like two stars oh man I did bad hahahaha but my toddler had fun watching me fail lol fun game.

Fun to play, it would be much cooler if it had its own artwork, but everything else is good, the mechanics, the music, it's almost addictive

If you have time, could you try my game too? It was made entirely on mobile by one person

Developer

Thank you so much! I did have a team at the start but thwy decided to not acualy participate so im not the greatest artest so i did what i could with the time i had.

Submitted

The game is fun, but the standard platform gets in the way a bit when jumping underneath; in that case, I suggest using jumpthru.

Submitted

The name says it all. Correctly done. Sometimes it can be frustrating when you miss the platform of the game and fall quite low, but that's not the game's problem, it's mine because I  suck at these kinds of games. Good game.

i enjoyed it , the movement was smooth and overall great game

Submitted

you didn't lie when you said it was hard! Couldn't get past the third star, there's a really difficult jump with spikes and a platform over it after that. The character is very easy to control 👍. A scrolling background would have been nice!

Developer

i know where you're talking about, so the key is to not jump to the platform next to the spikes, but the one to the right and down from it that will allow you to get through.

Developer

Submitted

Simple but effective gameplay. The controls are well-balanced; it doesn't move too fast or jump too high. Good job!

I found the game a bit difficult, probably because i’m not used to playing with arrow keys. But besides that it’s a really great game. I also really liked the playable menu, that was a really creative touch.

Developer

Thank you! And ya its acualy supose to be really hard this game has been a idea ive had for a while i just havent had the right Jam to implement it yet tell this one.

Submitted

Developer(+1)
