Reminded me a bit of doodle jump - but so much harder. I had fun with this. Though sometimes it did feel like depending on what platforms were generated at the start, it was a lot more difficult to get going. But once you do get going it feel pretty good! Over all this was a great game for the game jam.

Really smart use of the theme! Was getting anxious when the number on the tiles reduced and I have no more tiles to jump on to hahhaha, good job!

It's Getting Late.. Again.The visuals and the audio are really good. The idea is also really unique, I like the countdown being on the tiles. The gameplay is a bit rough, personally the character moves too fast up and down and you don't have time to process the tiles numbers. Besides that I think the idea has a lot of potential and the artstyle is really consistent, you have a really good template here. Good luck!

Ticking MemoryVery nice game, I like how polished it feels, e.g., how I see where my last personal best is +1
I would wish to see a bit more on the top of the screen though, because my jump height is such that I pretty much can jump directly into enemies that I cannot see coming when making big jumps. Otherwise, great job

PresslessThanks for playing the game! I'm glad you liked it. I was worried about the jumping into enemies thing so I had added a brief timer where they can't hurt you immediately after appearing on screen. However, I may have made the timer too short. I think it's about half a second where they can't hurt you after appearing on screen.
Very fun fast paced game. The music is upbeat and intense and I really enjoyed the more open levels that I could really fly thorough. Great Game.

Exit MachinaI played this for quite a while, it's fun!
The different pattern make for a nice variety and the record keeping gives a good incentive to continue playing.
A slightly more precise fall would be nice so you can aim which block to land on more easily would have been nice.
