That was fun! I really liked the use of jumping as an upgreadable stat!
One question, though...why does it look like the main character has exposed genitalia? o.O

Yeaah bro :) I agree with paulopn that it looks like the main character is constantly rocking a hard-on. The fully upgraded jump was a little hard to handle, especially since it seems to limit jump distance by your head sticking against the ceiling. Other than that, i liked the humor, secret passage finding, exploration etc. Great job!

The graphics were awful but it kind of added to the charm of the game. This is probably the funniest LD game I've played so far.

Well, it got really annoying when I kept dying at those arrow-enemy-thingies, it was impossible to land on that little triangle without sliding off. However, it was quite fun. I like the classic hidden paths. Should have been more hidden though, oh and I'm an awful person apparently. Who'd know.

Lol, he asked me not to kill him, I did it anyway, I am an awful person!!

Things I liked about this game:
- The secret passage ways (surprising!)
- The fact that he shoots bullets out his wang
- The range of powerups
- It really made me want to play until the end

Very fun. A little punishing with no checkpoints, though!

What's with the dong?

Why does he shoot with his genitals?

Good fun, had to try a lot of times to complete the game. Getting hurt by the monsters and obstacles felt a bit random, sometimes I could jump on them (the monsters) without damage, but sometimes not.

What are you guys talking about? He's just shooting a laser gun which just happens to be stuck in his crotch. It's not fun, he's probably in pain every time he shoots ;_;

At first the game was meant to be a lot smaller, and jumping would scale in a more natural way. Yet I still wanted the last jump to be a really big one. So no planification = Bad.

The collision with enemies is awkward because I didn't implement a good hitbox. Touching them from the right or the left will hurt you, but jumping on them will hurt you... sometimes.

Anyways, thanks a lot for the feedback!

Fun platformer. The controls feel a bit too coarse, especially when running. Also when the jumping has been upgraded it is impossible to jump over the spikes at the start.

Wait, what ? Is that a penis gun ? Made me laugh.

I don't want to think about what I'm using for ammunition.

I was amused by how quickly the jump height escalates into rocketing straight up unto the sky. My main complaint is that some sections are really unforgiving compared to the rest of the game. Once you have enough jump height it is extremely difficult to navigate the pit of spikes at the beginning, for example. Still, pretty good game.

AGDG bro, the game was awesome. I loved the idea of using multiple upgrades and stuff like that. Great stuff, really!

I got the pacifist ending, then "some enemies" ending after that! Fun game. I didn't seem able to kill the huge red dude, though.

fun game, very high jump on the end but still playable whatsoever. You have Title + intro + game + fun ending = 100% complete game. Nice achievment for 48 hours work.
