The game is fantastic, incredible art, wonderful level design, gradual and addictive challenge, I loved it :)

Thank you for the kind words!

Great game,  so fun for such a simple mechanic, really well made, looks great too!

Developer

Thank you so much!

The single input mechanic is deceptively clever — the moment you realize that holding the button slows you down rather than speeding you up completely changes how you play, and that discovery feels genuinely satisfying. The art style is striking and the audio is amazing — cattymations called it probably their favourite aspect and it's easy to hear why. Afogados said it best: this is the first game of this style made with real attention to detail, and it shows in every aspect. A personal best marker on the elevation bar would be a great addition — and I love that the developer already had that exact idea in mind! Really polished and unique entry. Feel free to check out my sky platformer too 😊

Nice little minigame haha. Love the simple mechanics and just going up.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much. Glad you liked it!

Great job applying the theme. The mechanic is simple but challenging. At first, I thought I could cheat the system by holding the button the entire time, but I noticed that doing that slows doing the device. So, that was a smart mechanic. As for suggestions, perhaps you could add another mechanic to increase the depth of the game. Right now, the left mouse button expands the device, but maybe the right mouse button could contract it to fit into tight spaces. Excellent work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for kind words. That is a very good suggestion, which also came to my mind when designing the game. In the end I decided to go simpliest as possible. instead of adding many different obstacle types and many ways to avoid them. I spend the time to polish the game as much as possible while only keeping the simple single input mechanic.

This was the first game of this style that was made with attention to detail that I've seen so far, I have nothing to complain about!!!

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

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it.

very cool bro. this is spot on with the term. though, needs  waffle house and dollar general

Developer(+1)

I didn't get the waffle house and dollar general reference, but thank you so much!

Submitted(+1)

It's cause they place them everywhere in the states. Like they'll see somewhere they could put them, and they put them there 😭

Submitted

very cool game. it makes you wanna keep trying.until you reach the top.

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.

So far one of my favorites,  I hope you'll add a downloadable version after the Jam cause I want to be able to play this on my phone

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the kind words! Well you can current play on your phone. Just open the game page on any mobile browser. But yeah after reworking on it,I might export as apk too.

Submitted(+1)

I love the game! Keep up the good work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

Simple yet very effective execution of the theme! Quite polished too :)

Developer

Thank you so much!

The art style is striking and the audio is amazing; probably my favourite aspect of this game. The gameplay is enjoyable, though becomes a bit repetitive, and the RNG can sometimes just make it impossible to proceed.

Overall though, very polished with amazing game feel and an interesting premise supported by a strong art style.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for detailed feedback, much appreciated. I agree RNG needs to be redesigned.

Submitted(+1)

really like the aesthetics and vibe, gameplay is simple and effective and fits the theme. No criticisms really. Maybe could have used some music, or having the "swoosh" sound be pitch shifted a bit each time


Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing and for your feedback! I agree that I could done more polishing.

Submitted

A great game. No ifs, no buts.

Love it.  So clever with the slowing down part.

Only improvement would be to have the current height displayed in the game so that we know if we've beaten our previous high score.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I intentionally avoid any visible numbers on the screen as game design choice, but I agree to you at least I should put a mark on the elevation bar that shows the previous personal best.

very nice game
