Well, it's a nice idea, but it was very difficult for me to understand what I had to do... in the end, I could, but I find controls a bit difficult to use.
Keep the hard work! I think you might create something good if you just polish these things :)
Damn the beginning is very fast! It took me quite some time to understand how I could not lose in less than 1 second. May be you should put Jack higher at the start so that the player has a little bit more time to figure out what happens! After a few times, I could make him bounce! Yay! Music and sounds are kinda cool and fits well the atmosphere. However the side view with the rotation leaves/bean is a bit misleading as sometimes you might think that Jack will bounce but that's not the case (due to bad depth estimation). This is a bit frustrating. Anyways, congrats on the overall idea (very original I think) and the nice atmosphere.
i liked the realisation, but controls.. well, that was not ultra easy to master
Wow, those graphics are really good ^^ But the game is kinda hard ><
Asked for Visual Studio 2015 installation. Couldn't play, didn't rate.
i have problems by contolling, but I like the idea, grafics and the music. Nice game.
Can't understand a thing about the game, yeah, I read the description, but at the early game I just keep dying and I just can't know why! Nice graphics and art, really gets you in the mood, but such a terrible game design. - Jeremias
Nice Idea !
Thank you for commenting our game, we added explanations (hope they explain everything). We haven´t fixed the resolution problem yet but we will when we got time for it.
Maybe you could give our game another try? (We recommend playing small islands)
Interesting idea but needs some tuning. You need to prevent jack from dieing instantly at start (maybe add the initial leaf, or add a pause). And Jack bounce too much horizontally.
As Oneiric Worlds mentioned, the beginning is a little fast. Either put Jack higher or pause the game at the start until the player clicks or something. Nice graphics and mood. I wasn't very good at the game though XD.
Really cool game! Some kind of explanation of how to play in the actual game itself would be handy but I like the idea and with some polish it could be awesome.
I liked the idea but I'll be honest I struggled when it came to actually playing the game.
