Looks like the platforms are procedurally generated too, well done. You've done well to create a specific mood with the art style and music as well. \n\nI feel like the game is missing challenge however, I think you could improve this game a lot by introducing some more obstacles to avoid - or spawn less platforms as you climb higher and higher. You want to keep the player \"in the zone\" by introducing challenge not too easy, but not frustratingly difficult either, a hard balance to find. You can find it by prototyping and getting your friends \/ family \/ us to play and give you feedback :)\n\nGreat concept!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":787421,"author_name":"LDJam user 233347","author_uid":"233347","epoch":1649156199,"text":"nothing \"new\" and \"exiting\" per-se, but solid entry nonetheless.
