I wonder if that is a respectable score :id: \n\nI think this game was really cool. The tutorial was nice, introducing things one-by-one, and with a little story in the background. There were two little points of feedback I had of the tutorial though. The first is that it was not clear to me that I should be going up. I thought I was just trying to survive fro as long as possible. I figured it out in the end :) Another point is that fact that I could not continue from where I died during the tutorial. I could either start from the beginning, or skip the tutorial entirely. I think it would have been nice if I just respawned at the level I was during the tutorial level. Although I can completely understand if you disagree with me on this one! :P \n\nThe gameplay itself was great! I really liked the simple, yet engaging gameplay. There is often this struggle of staying on a breaking platform a bit longer, or trying to make this really hard jump. This was fun :D I also think pico8 games are in general really impressive because you have to make everything from the ground up.

I agree that it would be annoying to have to keep replaying those sections... but I dont think the tutorial should have different rules than the main game. Perhaps I could make the starting platform much larger for the tutorial levels.\n\n*\"There is often this struggle of staying on a breaking platform a bit longer, or trying to make this really hard jump.\"* Yes!
