Simple but addictive.
I like this graphics style. It's... pure.

I like the music, but sound effects are missing. Had a small bug, where the death animation was playing after a retry.

Man, that's some good stuff there. I'm with frondeus on this, simple but addictive!

Great fun playing this and really addictive! The art style is cool.

The interest curve of this game could be a problem as I did not see the difficulty rise / the new obstacle appear after a long play.

Overall great work!

what's you high score ? I got to 265.
Nice game, really liked it.

I was thinking something like this for my jam game, had circle on screen but lacked vision on that front.
So end up doing something else entirely different.

But this was satisfactory

Nice and simple

-Would've been nice to be able to vary the jump height :(
-Sometimes, there are impossible jumps :(
-Visually simple but pleasant :)
-Lack of progression :(

Woop 403 :D

That was good. It was really nice seeing the world get bigger as you kept going which was a nice visual reward for doing well. I like minimalist style too.

Also nice tune :P

First of all, thanks @all for playing the game :)
@MMOOxy I had some simple sound effects at first, but they got annoying very fast.Also, thanks for letting me know about the bug.
@GameDevExtreme Probably the images were in the wrong place (img folder next to jar). Other than that I have no idea (are you using Linux/MacOS?)
@Magicolo -true -during playtesting that occurred only once -thx :D -I know, would have made more than that if I had gotten more time
@sanchitgulati/Hammers 448 :D

I'll probably port it (/a better version) to Android some day, it feels like a good concept for a one-click game.

Great game and a very original idea! Sound effects would have added to the atmosphere as well though

oh_andrej 2014-12-10 17:09

Simple and addictive with a great clean visual style. Music is nice but sound effects for jumping and dying would've made things even better. Even though I really like this one!

FUN TIME ! WASN'T THERE AN OLD GAME MAKER GAME SIMILAR TO THIS ?

androniq 2014-12-10 23:31

Good use of the theme and nice minimalist styling. I like it.

No player. Ran the game a few times and this still happened. Didn't take score away though, concept was cool. Fitting theme. Graphics were clearly not strong or intensive but that clearly wasn't the goal. No humor or mood in this piece. The audio got kind of annoying.

kddekadenz 2014-12-14 10:32

Doesn't seem to work for me. It starts up, but there isn't any gameplay, just a planet and some particles.

Look simple & stylish)

officialcodenmore 2014-12-21 15:10

Great game!

lynx 2014-12-28 21:34

Very simple yet visually beautiful game. I feel the music didn't help add a good atmosphere to the game though...the song kind of gives it a monotonous kind of mood where I think if you gave this game a more upbeat and faster paced song (maybe something like chipstep) and made the jump a little less floaty, you'd have yourself a rely awesome mobile phone game that you can pass around to all your friends and challenge them to beat your scores!

Can't wait to see a post-Jam version of this, especially for my mobile devices!
