The jump physics are pretty good, though because it's a fixed height the game only gets so difficult. Generous horizontal movement and coyote time make every leap possible, it feels. If only we as humans had a never-ending stream of platforms to escape our world...

Nice game. I think at some point, rising water does not speed up anymore. Which makes the game a bit too easy. Anyway, well done.

Good job! The pixel art was really nice :D

The game was enjoyable for the most part, though the player seemed to bounce on platfoms as they moved, which caused a bit of weirdness with the jumping, and the particles in the background were a bit hard on the eyes.

Nice entry, with pretty Pico-8 graphics and matching sound. I like the water animation and the sparking thingies in the sky. Controls feel good overall, but I think jumps with controllable height would feel better.

I think I completed it, the platforms stopped moving after 319 seconds. Nice game, was a little too easy though. Perhaps reduce the jump distance and make gravity a bit stronger so there is less time waiting in the air.

Nice little game!

Fun and straight to the point, I liked the colorful graphics and the overall simplicity.

Would be cool to see an in-game score meter and some adjustments to the platforming physics :)

Simple, but effective game for the theme! The jump was a bit floaty, but I didn't really mind it. It may be nice to add a way to fall faster. Also, I kind of like how it looks like a sandstorm in the background. Nice work!

Simple idea, great execution :)

Good fundamentals, but after playing for 4 minutes I concluded that the game was basically unlosable except by human error. The floaty jump is very generous, and there doesn't really seem to be a difficulty curve increase. I think this game would be greatly improved by some pressure to add a sense of urgency. I also think a sense of urgency would improve our response to global warming irl but that's not really something I expect to change in the world when someone makes a video game.

Simple but fun game just need more obstacles.

The sky is crazy like it's on fire which is actually cool. Also like the little characters body shape as they jump. Fun little game!
