How does your game fit the theme?
Charge, Jumpo! is a puzzle game where the main challenge is synchronizing two independent countdowns. As Jumpo automatically walks forward, every step he takes is a countdown to the nearest obstacle on his path. Meanwhile, the electrical cables you build act as a second countdown, where the wire's length and additional mechanics dictate the speed of the current. The ultimate goal is to perfectly calculate and match these two countdowns so that lifts activate at just the right time to save Jumpo from crashing.

Interesting concept and well-designed puzzles. Fun game!
Really nice concept!
Great job!
+ Hope to try my game
Wow, such a cute game! Love the graphics! Also very creative way to approach "countdown" theme. Keep up a good work man!
Some creative puzzle solving. Fits the theme very good. Good job you will get a 5/5 in creativity ;)
Really impressed! Very fun game, and the puzzles are well designed. GG!
By the way, it would be a great QoL addition if the drawn path stayed saved after a failed try! Most of the time we're just a hair away from the right answer, so keeping the line would save a lot of tedious redrawing!
Super cute artstyle and sound design. I was sad when there weren't more levels. I just started getting the hang of the mechanic. Great job overall! I had a lot of fun with this one!
Great little puzzle game!
I have to agree with the comment below mine that more levels would be nice. Although I can't really hold the low number of levels against the game due to the time limit (and the fact that my game has the exact same issue). But the mechanics are pretty interesting, so it could be cool to see how far you can take them.
Easy and simple. But maybe a bit too simple. I was expecting 2-3 more levels with all the mechanics after the last one. Other than that it's pretty cool!
Thanks! Unfortunately, I ran out of time, but I'll definitely expand the game with more levels once the jam is over, so it will feel complete.
Cute puzzle!
My only complaint is that the solution is completely reset after failure. It was a bit annoying in the later levels.
The game sounds good, looks good and the puzzles are fun to solve. Good job!
Thank you! You're right, I thought about improving how the game resets after failure, but I chose to focus on polishing the graphics instead. Looking back, I should have prioritized making the gameplay fun and seamles. Anyway, thanks for your feedback
Fun game! Also gave it to my little sister, she also enjoyed it
Thanks, I'm glad you both liked it :)
