Cute precision platformer. The first big level was a bit annoying without checkpoints. Could've just made the jump challenges separate levels if they're not connected anyway.

Other than that, good job overall. Nice graphics and audio, very clean and consistent. Nothing special or innovative, but fun nonetheless.

Good game! The design is simple but is functional and great! I really want to play this as a finished product. The art and audio is a bit bad, tho.

I liked the idea a lot, and the different block types were really neat. I think the levels were often very hard to read as they were just a collection of thoughtfully placed blocks. Some of the jumps were also a little too tight for my liking, like the ones at the beginning of the second level where a block is right over your head. The block falling sound was a bit grating, I think if it was done over again, a less loud and high pitched sound would do wonders.

Almost nailed that theme, but it still very thing what I imagine as this theme.. Your audio is very bad. Game is fun, but not as good as I hope so. Not too horiblle art but next time try invest time more into art

Nice concept, and solidly executed! The level the design for the first few levels is very good, introducing you to the mechanics of the blocks, and then jumping (including jumping after falling off a block), and then the new block types, and so on. The gameplay is tight too! The game would've definitely benefitted from a checkpoint system, as the first big level did take the wind out of my sails each time I died somewhat far in. Just like the commenter above me I reckon the block falling sound is a bit too grating; an easy fix is to pull up an audio editor (e.g. audacity) and apply a low pass filter to it -- a gentle one would probably do the job. That said, the music is good and the sound effects fit the setting well. Good job!

Great game, awesome lvl design, run into a couple bugs with the physics but nothing serious. Overall it was a lot of fun, congratz

Really like the music, it was a bop. Quite a difficulty spike on the third level, but very quick to restart again. I played on Linux under WINE and the game worked perfectly.

Nice mechanics and good level design! For a jam you might wanna consider adding more checkpoints so more people are likely to see the later levels. Nice job overall!

What a nice entry! Sorry but I ragequit at a level after like 50 try ^^ (the level was so longgg ^^)

Realy great gamedesign, congratulation! I loved to play it.

I liked the mechanic, but it was a bit too difficult and tedious at the big level.

Also, you didn't write the music or make the sound effects yourself, so you shouldn't apply for the audio rank.

Otherwise, good job!
