I enjoyed this quite a lot - despite the graphics being rather simple, they conveyed a decent mood and the gameplay variety was well done!

Nice game.
Simple but well designed! Nice sounds!
I really like the design behind the mechanics. The jump is simple but has a lot of uses. The mechanics are introduced at a reasonable pace. Nice hybrid of a puzzle/action game.
One issue: Some levels confused me because I would enter the level and have it complete 'automatically' a few seconds later. In later levels I realized that the aim was to kill all the henchmen in some levels. Was a bit confusing to start with.
Nice game. Jump is so sweet in this game.

Quite difficult in some places. I found constantly jumping made me significantly harder to hit. ;)
The jump makes the game pretty easier, even if the last level was very hard to complete. But it still lacks accuracy and I would have loved to have a shadow to avoid landing always on the spikes. I don't really know why the level full of trap tiles had a very slow framerate.
Great entry for proving that you don't need fancy graphics to make something mechanically satisfying.
Favourite moments:
- Seeing the "all trap" level for the first time and thinking "oh damn gotta move". I was really hoping to use those traps to kill a group of red guys but it never came up.
- Figuring out that I can use the mine in the last level to blow up a turret.
- As soon as I completed, the soundtrack did the long epic note, which I assume was a coincidence but REALLY felt like a great ending mood.
Only bugs were the low framerate for the all trap level and that when moving on any diagonal other towards the top-right I couldn't jump, which made the last level harder than it needed to be for me. Neither of these issues stopped me from enjoying your game though. Thank you!
Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.
