Quite difficult with the character whose letter changes.
Liked the bird flapping mechanic.
It was really difficult. but i kept playing for the sheer satisfaction that the audio and art were fun to look at
i guess that some audio feedback when you miss the rope would be an good improvement.
Great, dudes!
Its challeging, but fun!
Please play and rate our game aswell: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/nanonator
Great music, fun gameplay and really follows the theme of this jam!
Absolutely loved it!
But it's too hard for me !
So it's a perfect mini game ;)
And difficulty is scaling very fast so you should be always concentrated. You deserve your good rankings. I like how you've created simple and fun game.
The speed of the rope is a bit high, which makes it a bit confusing (+ it's small, kinda hard to see but really important in the gameplay) but that's okay, i don't think i would have ideas to make it better ! :)
the art and charadesign is really cute, too ! it makes me feel good.
I scored 40 r 41.. the 3rd character reallys makes it worse haha
Also, I love the name for this game, it's really creative and funny!
Brilliant entry, congratulations!
The mechanic is so easy to understand but so difficult to master (i've got 30 jumps) that is brilliant.
Wonderfull gfx.
A perfect little game for a jam.
It's hard to reach 30+ pts ^^
My best score is 34.
>Whaaaaaaaaaat just happened ???
Like I said about another game, this also reminds of Final Fantasy IX... When you first play with Bibi and you can play this minigame in the city. Yeah, my childhood... But this one pushes the difficulty higher.
So thanks for the remembrance and this innocent but hard entry ;)
Congrats on doing such a great job.
The only thing I missed (and this is a tiny detail) was input buffer. I managed to get to 41 jumps and, when the rope goes too fast, you press a key to jump but the character doesn't jump because it's gonna land in the next frame. It'd be great to have some kind of buffer that autojumped if I land on the floor a few frames after pressing jump, the same trick is used with platform games all the time.
But, as said earlier, that's just some minor polish thing. You did an amazing job! :-)
The music is a little bit repetitive, which fits the game, but may overemphasize the "just jump!" aspect.
The SFX are wonderful though.
Overall great job!
Oh f**k please make the music at the same pace as the rope, PLEASE?
Congrats! Very nice and polished entry :)
If you have time, come check ours <3 https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/lamattractive
I think the button for what you should press, could be a little faded out, when you cant press it (when the character is in the air). That would help visualizing the exact time when a character can jump and when not. Since everyone has a different timing it would help with the learning a lot.
I like the polish a lot, the characters look really cute and the music and art fit together a lot. The controls are nice and the gameplay is getting hard really fast, which I like a lot.
Well done!
Also, if possible, check out and rate my game I made with a few others. It's a card game with a twist: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/smash-smash-destroy-the-west-jangnanmon
you said 44 was the record right? Why does the ranking not work?
Excellent job coming up with a fun concept and keeping your scope manageable, great work! :smile:
Harder then I imagined... But very fun!

Anyway, excellent graphics: art and animation is top notch. As for the gameplay concept, it has a lot of potential, and I think you realized a good amount of it! The different characters' quirks really gave the game personality in execution. I would have perhaps made jumpers invincible when new characters are introduced, it could have made things a bit smoother. Overall, great entry!
Aside from that, really great job!
We are preparing a postmortem version with some fixes that solve problems that you've noticed. Maybe in future we could rethink a bit more about the mechanics, it's true that it have clear issues but we think we can close a good minigame for kids and enough challenging for olders.

Kitty is pretty difficult to play with, but that makes for a great change of pace.
Well done.
40 jumps for me :)
