Argghhh #1: Please, no installer for LD. Arghhhh #2: No uninstaller? Arghhhh #3: The jump key only seems to work sporadically Arghhhh #4: No health feedback?

It's a neat idea. The starting is quite slow (but it does take up pace :) ). Esp. the jumping only seems to work sporadically, which is quite fit to the name of the game :)

Thanks for the input Endurion! ^_^ I went ahead and changed the file from an installer. Added a health bar, and a jump indicator. It's probably against the rules, but I don't plan on winning anyway :joy:

Cool graphics! Very difficult mechanics, if you want to pull something like this off I'd recommend to focus on polish (feedback for jumping and damage, finetuning controls, maybe a visual indicator for the duration until the next jump is available) so it does not feel unfair to the player. It's a nice game overall. :)

I think I got to level 16 before dying, what's your highest score @gema?

Also: I think I'd try more often if it didn't take so long to complete the first level and sometimes even later levels. For example I didn't understand for a minute or so, that I **had** to fly when the game taught me flying...

What are you packing into that executable by the way? 95mb for 50 levels? are you using that many different sprites?
