Nice graphics, easy to learn how to play and hard to reach top. It would be nice to have a metters counter to know if you are doing well.

I like a lot the overall mood!

Well done, nice animations and music. But really difficult and the random pieces cause frustration :) Maybe I am just bad at it.

Thanks for your feedback. The random really needs more work, but we ran out of time.
We experimented with visual feedback on remaining distance but we ended up erasing it.

The idea was to crush enemies with the impulse you give to the pieces but we didn't have time for it, so we are not expecting really high scores for the theme.

I love the artwork and music, really helps create the mood. My only critique is that I'm not sure how it fits the theme of Unconventional Weapon...! still fun though.

Sooooo difficult to get to the top! Haven't got much far, can't get a decent amount of connections from platform to platform.

Your game is nicely executed, great graphics and nice mechanics. However, I do not see the link with the theme. And it is too difficult for me. Nevertheless, good work!

Good mechanics and art. The control could have some more action, but still a good game.

It takes a while to get the grasp of it, but once you do that it becomes really fun and addicting. The visual style is also amazing, congrats to the team! :)

Very cool game! The game mechanic is really original and "stressful" as you say. ^^ The graphics are extremely polished and so is the music. Great mood overall. It would make for a really great mobile game.

Gorgeous graphics and flawless controls. A music a bit too loud but man it was awesome.

Hehe I should have noticed the music thing when I was stopping the game to hear something when talking on Skype
A mobile port should be fairly easy to do (at least on android, which I could also upload on itch.io)

Very fun game! The progression is a bit too random other than that it's really good. Love the music it fits perfectly!
Art & animations are very pleasant to look at! Good job guys!

This game is hard, ahah. But the idea is original and I liked the graphics, they're humorous and cute. Good job ^^.

Not bad, would work nice in smartphones. Nevertheless, the theme doesn't appear at all

Very good idea, the game is easy to learn and the graphics are excellent!!

Too bad you didn't have time to add the unconventional weapon. I guess you drew inspiration from Stalagflight (or other similar games)? Very nice graphics though!

Wow! Didn't know this game at all (now i have to play it), and the concept its the same.
In fact we wanted to do the typical ninja scene where the protagonist climbs through falling rocks that appears in so many movies/animes, but the physiscs were so floaty that we changed the theme to something underwater.

Really fun to play, and an original mechanic. Theme doesn't seem to play much of a part though?

Funny and pretty intense to play. Easy to learn and hard to beat! The art style is really fun and love the epic/intense music. Great job!

Cool idea, I found the controls a little fiddly at first but soon got the hang of them. Good job!

Great idea, lovely graphics and music. The controls were a bit iffy sometimes - I'd click and nothing seemed to happen. Needed to bit a bit snappier in my opinion. Also sometimes there was literally no platforms to jump onto = instant game over :(.

Could be brilliant with a little more work :D

Great game. The only thing i can complain about are the characters that don't look like anything.

Fun game! I thought the serious music against the cute art was very funny. Sometimes there seemed to be nothing to jump to, but other than that, I had no problems. Good job!

Great fun. Not sure about the theme, and also it's really hard. I don't think I lasted more than a few seconds. But fun.

Beautiful looking game. Couldn't stop myself playing trying to reach the surface. Only thing I can suggest is having some sort of visual representation of how close you are to the goal. Even if when you died it said you were 100 metres from the surface. This way the player would know if they are getting better or worse. Extremely nice polished entry though.

Excellent graphics. A bit hard for me though.
