hell yeah. i like getting to take out anger on this one and make myself smack into everything. 10/10
It felt very polished, and I was super impressed how fun this could be for a long time! :D
Wow, it looks great! Actually great, probably because its very minimalist, its so cute. But as the previous comment said, you can just go to the top border, get stuck and avoid every obstable forever. Also it's nice that you made it on Scratch!
Loved it! Such a cute and fun game, I had a great time. I like the 8 bit nintendo feel and concept. Feels very authentic the way it's immediately enjoyable like those old games, so cool!
Cute little game, I liked the art :)
Flappy bird with Juniper
Very nice art. A simple concept but well executed, very cool. Nice sprites, really cool.
Nice game! I like your art and it's pretty fun.
Fun little game! Love the art direction you took!
This game is serious business
This jam is getting way too serious
Art is very cute! Wait, I mean serious…
Maybe the most serious game yet. I hope I will one day be serious enough to access the fabled options menu...
The game over screen is so good <3 Although it would have been cool to add your score to it because you can't currently tell what your score was when you inevitably perish!
It seems that the player velocity isn't set to 0 at the screen edges so it can just stack up and you get stuck for a bit while you wait for the value to drop lol
Big fan of the visuals, very charming. Great stuff for your first jam :D
I love the pixel art. There does seem to be a bug where if you touch the edge of the screen your character gets stuck. Overall a fun experience.
For a first game jam, you did a pretty good job. I really enjoyed the game over screen, it got a laugh out of me.
Great job, especially for your first jam! Keep at it!
This game changed my life. You better make it into the video!
Haha Thanks! I hope so!
Very good, very serious. I truly felt immersed in the role of being JuniperDev being very serious. Great job for you first game! The pixel art is really good and I'm always impressed when people can animate their pixel art spinning because I'm just not skilled enough yet to do that. Awesome work! (And I love the options not-options button lol)
The pixel art and audio are so good. There is barely any fault with them. the only issue i see is in the gameplay that the player can get locked into the top or bottom edge for some time if you keep pressing space or let the character fall long enough respectively.
Ya.... I realized that and I hope I can change it but I dont think I can cuz the 7 days are over.
Really great art, and the presentation overall is very good. I did find that if I just held space and went to the top of the screen I could avoid 99% of obstacles though.
