Nice game

I did it! _ld_post_e.png

This was a super, super clever game. Very well done! Such an awesome idea, you should be really proud of this!

There is only a few things I have for constructive feedback:

1) First playthrough I got high up in the first section, and fell right back down to the beginning...I then killed myself only to respawn....at the beginning. Lol. If intentional, that is fair, but it seems like an accident to me where you are taking the last screen you've been to as the next death checkpoint, and it sucked to lose all that progress

2) The jumping needs some love. There is a thing called "coyote time" that this game could really use, where even if you're off the floor for 0.1 seconds, it keeps the fact that you were just grounded in memory for a short period of time (ex: 0.1 sec) and still allows you to jump. The screen with all the really small circles was particularly rough in this regard

Lastly, a banger soundtrack would make this go so much harder than it already does. Really great job overall!!

Honestly, you scrambled with my brain xD and i loved it. Audio, Visual, and the gameplay concept were super fun haha I have nothing to critic, except the one tv with the balls when i jumped down in a straight line i felt like it wasnt 100% accurate. Other than than, crazy cool concept <3

@william-corrin Thanks for the kind words and the feedback, I really appreciate it 😊 You're exactly right about the checkpoint system 😅. It simply takes you back to the last room you've been too, but it doesn't care if you already progressed further. Could definitely be improved.

@dekisenpaitm Thanks a lot, I'm glad you liked it!

FYI: When I set up the jam page yesterday in my sleep deprived state I accidentally opted out of all the optional categories (theme, graphics, audio, ...) because I misread it as "opt-in" 🤦

I updated the page now so those categories are also available for voting. If you already voted and you happen to see this, it'd be awesome if you could also give me your ratings in those categories.

Cool! An unusual platformer. It’s really messing with my head.

The idea is really cool, and the theme is incredibly well executed! I’m a big fan of what you’ve managed to create. The concept of jumping between old monitors and TVs fits the theme perfectly and gives the game a unique identity. Really impressive work!

Really Really good game, had a lot of fun on this one!

OMG this is amazing it's so stylish! 😲 Nice level of challenge as well.

This is totally disorientating in the best way. Super imaginative and while it takes some getting used to I think the transitions work really well for the most part.

Really good, love the background, like the fact that each screens are in some direction and change the gravity of the personnage. make me think of VVVVVV. I didn't try the challenge, and the only part i find a little hard is what i call the pachinko, with the 3 saw and little plateform.

Amazing game with original mechanics and an excellent implementation! The only thing that fall flat is that the movement feels a bit janky for a platformer. Adding features like coyote time could make some of the more precise jumps feel smoother and less frustrating. Overall, an amazing game jam entry with a really strong concept and execution!

scorpioffi 2026-10-20 13:32 ♥ 1

Completely on theme, with well-judged difficulty throughout, a very interesting and innovative concept

Completed the challenge! Screenshot 2026-10-20 204718.png

I really like this idea of travelling through screens, and I think the combination of realistic hardware with minimalist pixel art in screens is pretty cool.

I did get stuck here while attempting the challenge, which is annoying since the only move is to exit to menu. Screenshot 2026-10-20 204034.png

Overall good game!

This is great fun! Although there are a couple of places where you can "fall out" and not die, locking the game. I really love how the checkpoint system works though. I don't know how you are doing it but I love that it only loads from a place where you have touched the floor and been still. Great detail.

Stuck here!!

Fun concept. I wish there would have been more puzzle like challenges as you can enter the monitors from different sides and use the falling physics to create more speed for higher jumps. I was able to use that in my advantage to skip couple sections of the game. Difficulty was pretty spot on for me, I beat the extra challenge as well without not too many retries!

Tiny bright pixel platforms inside a pile of photographed old TVs is such a good look. I like that the screens point in different directions too, so the junk pile is actually part of how you move around.

Rated! Would appreciate you checking out our entry too if you have time: [Robot Workshop](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/60/trashfight).

The momentum of jumping between all those different monitors felt really satisfying to play. Navigating the junk pile of discarded tech gives the game such a unique atmosphere. It's a super creative way to tackle a platformer setting.

I absolutely love your concept, you came up with a great idea. Great job, your game is amazing! I loved playing it, super cool!

alexandru-barbanoua 2026-10-26 16:59 ♥ 1

Really cool game! What caught my attention the most was how unique it feels, both visually and in terms of gameplay. I love seeing games that try something different instead of following the usual formula, and this one definitely stands out!

The visual style has a lot of personality, and I really like how the gameplay feels different from what I'm used to. It's always fun discovering creative little projects like this during Ludum Dare. Especially impressive considering how little time you had to develop it. Really enjoyed this one, nice work!

Really nice game! I could finish the main level! =] Cool concept reminds me something like 2D version of Mario Galaxy.

prtscr.jpg Got stucked trying the challenge. =P My character disappeared somewhere here lol

*Mom, mom, can we have Path of Pain?*

*No, we have Path of Pain at home.*

Path of Pain at home:

I don't think I have it in me to complete the challenge. This is a very innovative concept I think, at least I haven't seen this one yet. The photo graphics were pretty cool and I also like very much the minimalist pixel art. But I think the best gem here is the pause menu, I didn't expect a Game Boy to come out flying from the top of the screen. Great job!
