I liked the gameplay.

Nice little game, fairly entertaining

Really fun, especially considering this is your first game jam! You should be really proud!

Really neat game. I liked the choice of difficulty, (low level games I found you could sit across two platforms and just never fall) the high difficulty ones were challenging. The sound effects added a lot, great game for a first jam!

I Liked the Graphics. Loved the Lava.

Jam and Lava? Why not! This is such a cute, silly, well-constrained game! I liked playing on the hardest difficulty and seeing the chaos ensue. Was pretty happy to get over 200 on it! Nice job!

Nice game. Congratulations for your first game jam.

Cool! Really neat game! I like the art!

Maybe you would have liked to allow the player to jump high enough to come back on higher platforms? Or maybe with a powerup or something? The highest difficulty is too hard and the lower ones are too easy x)

Other than that you nailed the controls. Great idea to make lifeless props around the player too! And you put sounds in your first game jam, so that's a really great work!

:clap: :clap:

Smooth control which I'm really glad and comfortable with. the game felt like a mini-game without any meaning. the graphic was really neat! I like the visual and the concept which is really challenging.

Hi and congrats for your first jam game! It's a fun little game, but I think you can build upon it a lot and introduce a little bit more variety. Regards!

Fun game, the difficulty really ramps up! Had a really lucky run in the highest difficulty where I managed to get a 283 -- all my other attempts barely reached 100. Great job!

Nice job!

Interesting game, I had fun trying to cheese it a little bit by putting the jar between two platforms but in the end that still only got me so far on difficulty 5 / 6 :)

Congratulations on a great first entry! Sometimes simple games like this can be the most amusing. I really liked that you had the difficulty settings - I found 3 too easy, 4 was easily beatable, and 5 was a good solid challenge. (6 was as you stated, haha)

Also for what it's worth the graphics on this were one of my favorite parts - they're simple but effective. Definitely a lot better than I did in my first compo!

This could definitely be fun to expand on - thanks for a fun entry.

Отличная работа! Так держать! Еще немного - и уже в топе продаж! Молодец! ^_^

Grats on your first game jam! Level 6 was hectic but fun!

Impossible is really impossible...

shigor 2021-10-08 10:37

If I try to run it, I get "api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is missing" and than "error loading python.dll..." - the temp folder doesn't contain the api-ms... dll, trying to place it in the folder with the game doesn't help - so what I need to install to get it running?

staticbits 2021-10-08 19:34

@shigor Are you on Windows? A possible solution would be to clone the repository from GitHub and build it yourself with Python and Pygame.

jelch 2021-10-08 21:10

Congrats on your first entry!

tigerfinch 2021-10-08 21:14

Nice game - a very complete experience for a compo entry - especially your first! Graphics are nice, level 3 felt a little too easy

sslees 2021-10-10 02:52

Great game! I love the idea of actual jam being part of the game. And the main menu and persistent high scores were impressive to have for a compo game.

ruthiepee 2021-10-10 20:48

Great job, especially for a first game jam! I thought the mechanic was really clever and a good balance of panicky fun. Also, I don't think your art is horrible like you've said lol, it's actually very clear, colorful and communicates what's happening in the game very easily. I think if anything the background could be a little less busy. I like the different difficulty levels a lot.

lesinvisible 2021-10-11 16:19

Very nice little game, in my opinion, it's core mechanic is quite solid. My congratulations with the first JAM entry.

Cute, little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 49 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/gL5Jq5zIm84

Interesting game! It might be a tad more interesting if you add more challenging features. Nice game overall!

mavvy 2021-10-17 13:54

Congratulations on your first jam game! It felt good in my hands and the visuals are really nice!

animawish 2021-10-17 22:42

Pour one out for all of my lost jam friends :pensive: really nice game! nice loop, nice art style, and you do a really good job selling the weight of the jars with the sound design.
