Play Captain Cottontail and sacrifice your health in order to maneuver around the level!

AD = Move

S = Look Down

Left Mouse button = Fire

Space = Jump

Shooting a rocket at your feet will launch you up. Rocket + Jump will launch you higher. Not all situations call for the Rocket + Jump though, keep that in mind!

If you get stuck or cant be bothered to finish, here's a full playthrough!

Not my favorite LD entry. I started a day late, as i couldn't come up with an idea and I didn't really enjoy working on it. I finished it just to get another game under my belt tbh. Thanks for playing though!

The character reminds me of the Tank Girl comic- excellent job!

Liked the game, I always had fun with rocket jumps in Q3, so I wasn't new to the concept. I couldn't progress in (I think level 10), where there was a saw moving horizontally above you, which you had to get past. Everytime I tried to rocket jump, I'd restart the level (even before hitting the saw). I think it was really a lot of fun and I'm always looking for challenging levels. Personally, I'd made the hitbox on the spikes a little smaller.

Mechanics and art style were A+, but the theme in general was a bit light. My biggest complaint was that there was **no mouse lock**, which made most of the precise aiming for the rocket jumps extremely frustrating. Overall, I thought it was a fine entry!

Fun game -- the explosions felt juicy. Sometimes it was hard to see where the bunny was going because the camera was zoomed in pretty far. I had a fun time playing -- keep up the good work!

Cool take on the theme, and you captured well the essence of physics based games :)

The character hitbox seemed a bit too big, there were situations were I felt I didn't touch spikes and still died. I wish there was a short transition between death.

I think you shouldn't belittle yourself, you managed to bring a good idea to the table, and the feel of the jumps was great.
