The game play is solid, but sometimes it's hard to judge the characters collision box size. especially after the spikes. \n- Pro tip for the future: Always make the character collision box sligthly smaller than the actual character graphics, that way it feels more fair for the player and makes the game play more enjoyable.

I've rated about 20 and some of them were much more advanced graphically but yours might be my favorite so far. You found really nice ways to set limitations. I loved the double a triple jump that's actually necessary in order to perform a single jump, lol what a twist! I was praying for a traditional double jump, then you gave me what I prayed for but not what I had in mind lol and then you tripled it... so good. My only suggestion would be that a little more variety in the levels would've been good. Maybe an extra coin if I go out of my way which would help offset the, I believe it's a, 1:1 ratio? Each level gives 1 coin? I might be off about that. if it's not the nevermind. Great job! Wonderfully executed 72 hour jammie jamz! On the second or third level or fourth, the screen froze and blacked out, I minimized the screen and it kind of reset itself so I could play as per usual. Then... at 11 coins I had all handicaps rippen! With the theory that I would get more coin with more handicap or something. The game said Fith Level or something annnnnd crash. I think it was triggered by the fact that I had reached full handicap and never once paid to remove one. But Idfk and have no clue. Just thought you might want to know. Could be anything.

However, there's almost always one terrible that's clearly the most annoying\/challenging one, and allowing the player to eliminate it so easily makes it somewhat less interesting (if I'm not actively encouraged to keep the game difficult, I'll make my life both easier and boring). The graphics are charming (although a simple 2- or 3-frame walking animation would have been nice) but could be a little more consistent with the UI to create a better general appearance. The music works quite well -- I expected it to become terrible as well.
