As other people are saying, it took a while to figure out what to do (I think boiling it down to &quot;get blue things while going up, get red things while going down&quot; would have helped). I think the art assets all fit together really well, the high-res, abstract, sparse look is pulled off fantastically. It didn't really feel like it totally fit into the theme of the Jam, though."},{"author_name":"Maxi and The Gang","author_uid":"3968","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 11:29am","epoch":1450178640,"text":"very well made and super fun~! loved the game mechanics, although I can't tell if it's going lighter or heavier. but it's still great! well done!"},{"author_name":"MorseAmalgam","author_uid":"57477","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 4:32pm","epoch":1450196820,"text":"I think the thing that was disorienting for me was the sudden, immediate turnaround when you reached the bottom of your jump.

Release to decrease weight. Pressing it or letting go will clear the mass you've collected.\r\n* A & D to move left and right.\r\n* Even more fun on a controller.\r\n\r\nTips:\r\n* You want to hold down Spacebar on the way down and let go right before the trampoline tries to send you upwards. Then you want to hold spacebar again as you start to fall.\r\n* A little bit of timing goes a long way. Try to get rid of your weight before the trampoline lets go.\r\n* The faster you're going, the better it is to focus on avoiding the wrong item.\r\n* Can be beaten in about 7 jumps\r\n\r\nCredits:\r\nArt, Design, Programming: Boz\r\nMusic: Matt, Justin, and special guest dog Otto\r\n\r\n**The Unity WebGL export is still a little buggy, if it's not working, reload and try again**","title":"Reach"}
