Started off pretty easy, but got frantic quick when things spawned in quickly...
Quite enjoyed the simpleness of it all...
Good work..!

Interesting idea. Graphics very clean, a sort of simple elegance to it. I felt like it needed a little more complexity in the mechanics.

mefteg 2014-12-08 17:22

Thank you guys! Did someone play with an XBOX controller?

2014-12-08 23:47

Thank you for the feedback :)

I tried to create simple and nice graphics like the gameplay !

thatnaughtypanda 2014-12-08 23:55

Score 4442. Gets pretty challenging! I like :)

asaratha 2014-12-08 23:56

I really like this game! You did a great job. Also is the delay in the jump intentional?

cinderous 2014-12-08 23:56

I liked the simplicity! Never felt so stressed out over circles... Thumbs up for the xbox controller support too!

tudd 2014-12-08 23:58

Graphics were great! Could use some music and maybe rings shouldn't spawn right next to you.

bobismijnnaam 2014-12-08 23:59

Pretty cool game! The difficulty curve of the game is really good. Took me a while to figure out that jumping over the circles doesn't give you extra points. The color scheme is cool, as is the tweet button (this is absolutely the only situation I would ever use one of those!). Downside might be that because it is top down it is sometimes hard to see when you have to jump to get over a circle. Also, every now and then the game has a little lagspike which is not something you want with games like this. This would also be a pretty fun multiplayer game!

Just a few simple elements, yet it adds up to a nice shape-avoiding game as your brain tries to piece all the different circles together. That's some elegant design right there!

minibobbo 2014-12-09 00:55

Elegant is a great way to describe this. It needs some soothing tones as the circles start. Almost like rain falling.

Really good fun jumping in and out of the waves!

I can't seem to go North-West and jump at the same time, though that might just be a problem with my keyboard.

oh_andrej 2014-12-09 13:16

Very clean and simple visual style, looks very polished. Music complements the graphics nicely.

Played with the keyboard first then tried out a controller since you asked and everything worked flawlessly! It would just be nice to have a button to restart the game (or a cursor to move around) so you wouldn't have to grab the mouse to do it.

A cool game, jumping feels more real than I expected. The UI is polished and the graphics looks nice. Music, in my own opinion, does not really fit the tense game play though... but overall it is a great game!

lekochen 2014-12-09 13:18

Elegant design, visual and gameplay.

hectorhon 2014-12-09 13:18

3919. Easily the most aesthetically pleasing game I played so far, with good audio to it too :)

acerunox 2014-12-09 13:31

Wow! Simple, but great game. First try - 6049. :)

gebirgsbaerbel 2014-12-09 14:53

The game is simple and fun. Sometimes it is impossible to escape a situation, but maybe you just should not go there. I like the simplistic aesthetics.

deyteris_team 2014-12-09 14:59

I like this game's minimalistic design. Simply and relaxing

mrx 2014-12-09 15:11

Really good. Simple, elegant and well executed.

mrexcessive 2014-12-09 17:10

Hi there. Appreciate the overhead parallel lines perspective, but very tricky to judge height. Nice sounds.

binarybot 2014-12-10 03:40

Bugger, only shows a black box for me :/ Win 8 Firefox

jyrkface 2014-12-10 03:45

Wow, a lot of polish on this for such a short timeframe. Really enjoyable game, every aesthetic touch suited it perfectly and there wasn't a single one too many. If you're continuing to work on it multiplayer might be fun to play around with ;)

toadfrogs 2014-12-10 03:52

Simple fun and graphics, great work. I've felt calm as well while playing it. :D
Loved the minimal art style. My score is 5540.

2014-12-10 13:17

Wahou ! We really appreciated it !

We spotted great ideas and we will try our best to improve Wavy Jumps :)

Thank you very much !

pankoman 2014-12-10 14:54

I liked the appeasing feeling you get when you play, audio is great too. I think adding mouse controls would suit perfectly.

cabezotta 2014-12-10 17:24

I really enjoy it! i like its graphics! :D

pjimmy 2014-12-11 23:47

simple, but fun and challenging game, well done

chuigum 2014-12-12 00:01

Very original, good job

camlang 2014-12-12 14:29

Simple and fun game. Nice job!

mefteg 2014-12-13 00:30

Thank you! We'll try to had a leaderboard and, if time allows us, a multi-player mode. What do you say about it?

aske 2014-12-13 18:15

Really great with a game with gamepad support

managore 2014-12-14 02:24

Beautiful game, I adore the style and sounds! 6108.

billrizer 2014-12-14 18:48

Beautifully done.

Nice music and + points for making it accessible via Phaser.js

Would have loved to see some additional power-ups, levels and global high scores

ronnyegt 2014-12-17 12:18

It was just my clumsiness of not having the Scroll lock on, but apart from that, it was a great game! included it in my random LD31 gameplay video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei_gJeG5cgM

pht59x 2014-12-20 11:46

Lovely sound, music and minimalist graphics. Overall, it's a good funny little game. Maybe a quicker pace to begin with would be better.

mefteg 2014-12-20 22:23

Thank you guys! We really appreciate your feedbacks :)

instant-noodles 2014-12-21 20:00

Nice game and good use of phaserJS ;)
