Beanstalk and the Jack by Mr MadCat
Description Update:
Try Pressing the right mouse button right after starting the actual game to spawn a leaf for Jack to bounce on.
To make it easier to understand, we recorded a video of a playthrough of our game:

End Update.
A magical beanstalk grows to the skies and a young man climbs it to the top. That is a story we all know.
But what if that's not what really happened.
In this little game you play Beanstalk, the real hero of the story.
Help sleepy Jack to reach the top safely.
Warning: the game starts immedietly after you press the start button in the main menu. You will have to start spawning leaves right away in order to survive.
Controls:
Move mouse left or right to move Beanstalk left or right.
Left mouse button to grow a leaf on the left side, right button for the right side.
Jack can bounce on the leaves.
You only have limited Beanpower to create leaves. Help Jack collect beans to fill it up.
Collect golden eggs to get points, avoid the rotten brown eggs.
Birds are kind of weird, do whatever you like about them. Warning: on some machines they are not able to collide with the player for some reason we couldn't figure out yet.
Made in Unreal Engine 4.
3D-Models created in Blender.
Textures created in Krita.
Sound Effects taken from the UE4 Kite demo.

Keep the hard work! I think you might create something good if you just polish these things :)
Thank you for commenting our game, we added explanations (hope they explain everything). We haven´t fixed the resolution problem yet but we will when we got time for it.
Maybe you could give our game another try? (We recommend playing small islands)
