Very frustrating when you have not enough energy to jump and all you can do is reload the game.

Very frustrating when you have not enough energy to jump and all you can do is reload the game.
This was a pretty fun game once I figured out what I was doing. I took me a while to realize that the more I ate the higher I jumped. Since the little eaty-things don't respawn after you've consumed them, it is really easy to get stuck an unable to move on. I wasn't ever able to get very far before I got stuck and gave up.
Also, the music doesn't loop, so after it plays through once, you're left playing in silence.
Interesting concept, but I agree that isn't annoying when you get stuck because your energy gets too low. Would be nice if enemies re-spawned.
it's**
The concept was very interesting, and like the others, i was stuck because my energy was to low. But the game was fun after i get the concept.
Hi, thanks for the Comments.
The thing is, the energy is supposed to be a thing of value.
You have to watch the jumping a little and eat as much blue slimy things as possible, then you'll have no problems at all.
Nice game. But hard - I think you need to add a food spawn, if you have low energy.
Cool concept! Of course, as others have already noted, it can be very frustrating - but I guess that's part of the deal :)
The central idea does have the advantage of turning the platformer movement itself into a kind of puzzle.
It would just need some balancing because now it is very easy to get stuck with no options.
Got stuck in a few places when I ran out of energy and that was frustrating. It's a simple, interesting concept though and quite fun when you get the hang of it.
Fun little platformer. Yes, the energy vs jumping height made it hard, but it was still really enjoyable to play. Well done.
Fun, but took a while to get the hang of it.
