Played the web-based one, so I'm not sure whether it was a huge game file or a slow host. One or both.
Intro sequence is OK. Do you have the rights to that font?
Music is present but terrible.
Controls are sluggish and unresponsive.
Mechanics are a pretty basic and tired "collect the stars" with a "press <x> to change worlds" add-on. Seems pretty popular for this theme.
Graphics are terrible.
I think he may have been going for humor, but there wasn't much to laugh about.

multi-jump is a bit twitchy. can't make it past the first overworld. amusing story.

Haha funny game but Jabba can jump??? Nice mechanics!

Jabba vs. Bowser, who will win!

The game was amusing, though the controls confused me -- sometimes the jump key let me jump 2, 3, or more times. Sometimes I would get stuck not moving at all! That might have been conflict between the up and right keys.

I liked the idea but the game seemed to suffer from some major performance problems. I played the game in chrome. It stuttered quite a bit and seemed to continue my input after I had stopped holding keys. This led to very frustrating deaths.

Nice game but the controls could be a little better.

Definitely rough around the edges. I was having a lot of trouble with the controls. But hey, people are saying the same about my game so I can't fault you for that haha.

Great job! I continued to play this game, but I just couldn't make the 4th to 5th platform jump xD. I would bring up Jabba's speed so he's easier to control. If you bring up his speed the 4th to 5th platform jump should be possible. Good luck and good job! :D http://www.gamegrapestudios.blogspot.com

Hey, I noticed the game runs WAY faster now, great job! now the only problem is when I go to see the overlord, there's a giant jump that would need 4 jumps to make it. That's all I could see, Great job :D

Malllot1: Have you tried to check the overworld to see if there are any platforms in there?

Thanks for making this... was interesting to switch between worlds.

The game screen is blinking from time to time, when I play the web version (chromium). It would be less frustrating, if player had checkpoints, for example, respawn on previous platform (not in the beginning of the level).
