Hi! I like the game! I remember I saw it early on in the game jam and watched one of my teammates try it, I was crazy impressed by how far you got so quickly! I wasn’t sure if there was an end goal, but I made it to 15! Would love to hear what you think of mine! EDIT: When I hit post, nothing happened and it just said “leave page?”, but when I finally gave in and hit “leave page?” it sent 3 comments, I deleted them now, just thats why you got 3 notifications😅!

Thanks for your comment! There is no end goal, you just see how far you can get! I’ve rated your game as well <3

Very hypnotic :)

Simple but very effective. The gradual increase in difficulty is well balanced and the core mechanic is incredible. Cool game!!

Great game! The map seems to be randomly generated? I’m not entirely sure. It’s easy to get really intense while playing, and overall it’s a very surprising and exciting game!

Thank you! And yes, the map is randomly generated, using premade configurations for each 8x2 section.

Ah great game and idea! Super cool! Only thing is I think the audio could use some work. The way the darkness expands very cool. Could also be expanding more and more you jump (as a different direction to go in)

This is really fun, i'll play it to pass time just to try and get a higher score. It gets pretty hard, but that's not a bad thing of course. High score is 27 so far

A simple idea executed in such a good way! I tried it on mobile too and I can see myself playing this on a long road trip for hours. My high score was 17 and I am not willing to admit how long it took me to get that score lol. - Cade

That was very cool! I like the concept and how it gets harder as you go. Very clever, hits the theme well.
