Really cool! Graphics honestly don't matter to me if the game is this fun! 9.5/10! .5 isn't there because there wasn't an explanation to how the game works, but it's really easy to figure out, so there's really no reason to have that in there :D

this is really cool. i like the balancing act of trying to get each player high enough to overcome the obstacles by getting a momentum going. i also really like the death sequence :P

Interesting concept and minimalist environement - I like it. I don't understand how I can pass through the big obstacles but I like these little guys. Bravo and Thank you ++

Cool game. I included it in part 3 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/WU8AB6IzBac

thanks for all the positive feedback so far! this was an experiment in teaching a mechanic with a mimimal amount of hand holding, i'm glad so many people are able to figure out the momentum jumping so easily :)

Easy to learn, yet challenging to play. Great work!

Interesting idea, especially the jump-mechanics. Very hard.

Awesome! I could play this for days.
A few more check points would be nice though. Still getting 5/5!!

Really cool game. Would be nice with more checkpoints because this game is quite unforgiving.

Hey there. Love the graphics, including the play|replay and death, death, chainbreak sequence. Great sound. Good job!

I really love that chain breaking effect after losing, and sounds. It reminds me of old NES games ;)

Overall excellent package! The minimalist style continues even outside the game to the web page, nice touch.

Tons of fun, although you make the player hit the ground running. Quite addictive.

That was pretty awesome. I liked the concept, the mechanic was fun and executed well. It was a bit punishing once you got to the crazy parts of the game, I felt like I had to go back way too far, and it stopped being fun.

I found it quite tricky, but then again I'm terrible at anything involving platforms :) Loved the interpretation of the theme.

Fun game! A little annoying some times but that just means I suck at it lol. I like how the website has the color theme too.

Cool music! The mechanics are really fun, but also a little difficult to master. But I'm sure if I played this long enough, I would get really good.

Wow. Love the mechanic, the art, the difficulty balanced(no pun intended) enough to be addicting. This is a really good entry. Didn't make it very far though.

the death sequence of the chain breaking is perfect! haha, nice game + mechanics! also, that's a nice color scheme you have going for the game.

I really enjoyed this! Very cool mechanics. I only didn't liked the death "animation". Took to long and to much effort to retry. Awesome entry, man!
