it was a little hard to get underneath the planks, I didn't really know what to do. In the end, i ended up reaching the bottom first and kicking the her out of the way lol it went dark inside but we chilling outside by the flashlight, I think i won haha it was pretty fun playing with the physics and hopping around. nice work

A nice little entry, good job! Heres a few things i noticed:

- There seems to be a bit of a delay on the audio when you move - Im not sure how I get points, I just seem to get them sometimes, and sometimes it took a while before I got any. - I didnt really ever feel the need to use the kick - It doesnt seem possible to lose. I just fell straight down for a while and all the planks i hit just kinde rotated and let me through.

Theres room for improvement, but id love to give it another shot it you decide to make an update :)

Nice game. The speed effect was great and the minimap was helpful. I scored 202, is that good? 😅

Good job making this game! It took me some time to understand what I was supposed to do. As it is, the game is a bit easy, because nothing can kill the player and there's plenty of time. Nonetheless, it feels badass to jump from plank to reach the bottom!

Very good for one person!

It was really nice when I finally managed to do a downwards boost! Good job, really funny to see all the planks fall down after beating the game.

Man, anime characters make this look so much easier.

Cool concept! I really like the minimap and the sticking mechanic! However, I did think it was a bit easy since you can't really die, but nice work overall!

This was a really cool game! It was a bit difficult to maneuver myself underneath the planks to get the boost, but it was satisfying to get it. I also liked how you could see the planks falling down at the end.

Interesting concept!

I got off screen one time and couldn't get the character to show up anymore haha! But other than that, great entry :)

I wanted to download the Windows version, but the page says "access denied"!

So I played the web version and I made it to the bottom of the pit! I jumped off screen one time, and I thought I'm dead now, but my character dropped down again and I continued. I couldn't really figure out how I collected points. Is it when planks crush to the sides? I also wasn't brave enough to do the "place yourself below the plank and then kick" stunt, but I will try again!

I didn't quite get what interaction causes the sound effect.

But it's a very satisfying scene at the end!

@fraukauz Thanks for the review! The windows download version should work now 😄

Okay, I gave it another try and played the Windows version, thank you for fixing this!

The sound effects make more sense now, and I tried out the jumping. I got 81 points, is this good? I also appreciate the mini map!!

Your game reminds me a lot of this one scene from Alice in Wonderland, when she falls down the rabbit hole and all the furniture is hovering around her. Maybe adding a few different objects besides the planks could be a funny easter egg?

Nice looking game, love the dark and textured pixel art tone. I made it to the bottom with a score around 70. It took me a bit to understand what to do / how to earn more points. But the fact that it isn't endless and there isn't a lose state makes it an interesting concept beyond other games in the "category." Really appreciate the minimap too!
