Very nice and simple game! The design of each level was thoughtful given that you could only jump up. Was definitely challenging but enjoyed it none the less.
Feel free to try my game, Beneath, and tell me what you think!
fun game! good gimmick, when it said 'stuck? <-+->' then i presed -> and then he said 'i can only jump' i thought 'TROLL ALERT' then i figured it out =)
It's actually kind of amazing that you found an original spin on the age old platforming formula. I also liked the twist in the middle. Congratulations on making this game, excellent stuff.
I would agree with Fransouski's comment about the level design. I found that there is usually only one way to traverse through a level and if I missed any step, I would have to start over. There was no adapting to failure, you just had to start over. Other than that, I thought you did an excellent job at introducing the game mechanics and challenges, especially when you introduced the cannons. I can imagine that designing a game where you can only jump can be challenging, but honestly, I thought you did a good job with this game. Most jumping games have only direction, up, however you broke that boundary by challenging the player to go in four different directions.
I love this game. I love how simple the design was. I also liked how you were only force to be able to jump and use the level environment around you to achieve your goal. My only thing was the silence was killing me a bit, so some music would have been nice in the levels. Overall I still thought the game was fun. I showcase this in my first wave of season 2 of Indie Game Showcase.
The concept is reaaaly cool but if I had a feedback, the level design is a little boring : It demands to just wait and if you have not the good timing, you restart and wait again. And also it is too punitive, it demands you really THE good timing, otherwise you crush the white guy for exemple and you're force to restart

Can't launch the game. It tells me it's an unauthorised browser
Please try again now. Have updated the game to fix the problem.
Indeed, it works now. Thanks !

Here is a speed run. Who can beat me? :D:D:D
Where are the .exe files and other downloads?
This game is so awesome! And that plot-twist was the icing on the cake! o-o
Port this to android plz xD
Simple and awesome! It would be great mobile game
Finally got to play this. It's REALLY cool! Whilst being simple, it's clever too.
You do realise I may have to rip you off for a C64 game. :P
Yessss!! Took me nearly 40 minutes, that was awesome! That surprise at what I thought was the end totally caught me off guard, that was great!
I can see this one tap game on mobile. Other than music; it is great. With a little more polish I think you can make it to mobile.
Hey! Played this on my channel, it's way harder than it looks. o-o
i love this!! ngl it was pretty tough for me. haha. thanks for sharing! 🍊
a very clean experience! feels very modern, esp for pico 8
