Gelatin Eater by Squatch
Gelatin Eater is an infinite platformer. Your only goal is to go up! The higher you get and the more gelatin you eat the more score you'll get.
You can hold down space to bounce. The more gelatin you eat the higher you'll bounce. But be careful, you can also bounce off of platforms, shooting you downwards into abyss.

I think if you focused more on this aspect of the game and added some more polish to the controls (allowing the player more control over the ball, e.g. by adding more staggered ledges or slow motion at the press of a button), I think the core mechanics could have been quite addicting. I got to 1900 points and would have continued playing if I had the feeling that I could exploit these big jumps better.
I like the gameplay, is an awesome ideea, and i think i would play this on my phone (rather than my pc). I sugest you to go further with this game, and officialy publish it! The sound sound a little buggy when you bouncing really fast, and some gray dots appear on textures, but i enjoyed playing this game! Well done!
