Help a planet jumper to keep the beat.

You stuck in an endless loop around a lifeless planet.
Jump to avoid evil triangles and try to keep alive until the end of a track, so you can teleport to another planet
Note: best played with sound, since you need to hear the beat.
Post-Jam Fix: fixed gravity and multi-jump issue.

Music is really good. I like the characters design.
Oxigen was my favorite song but I appreciate the variety. Every song felt like its own!
The gameplay is simple but surprisingly addictive. I played on normal first but then switch to hardcore. I noticed I only had one life, but apart from that it didn't feel any more difficult. I think you should consider adding some variety to the gameplay for the more difficult settings, perhaps obstacles that require ducking or dashing.
Anyway, great job and congratulations on a well executed idea!!
Nice job here !
I really don't want to sound too harsh, because I really like the general look&feel of the game and I think with a little different focus, this could've been a lot better! I hope you can use some of the criticism to make more worthwhile games in the future :) I'm looking forward to it! Keep it up!
Other than that, it was a really nice rhythm game :)
Yep, after the last level it supposed to show credits and get back to the main menu... So it is some kid of a bug :)
:thinking: I don't know why but something happen between me and this game..
At start, I was like "Nice twist of the Google Dinosaur" and then... after a while I entered in a meditative mode. ahah
The Music was fitting perfectly with the jumps. Everything was feeling kind of slick and tight like a nice Road bike mechanic. And I ended up finishing the whole game and enjoying a lot !
I would say that the world around the little character could be changing. For example the obstacles.
But if you analyze the game from another perspective, more on a "meta" level. The position in which you are as a player in this game is ultra interesting. It's really creating like a void where you can meditate and make the little blue character jump. Mixing a feeling of accomplishment and rest.
All this sounds maybe a bit weird, but honestly that was my feeling :-)
Good job on approaching this theme with not only a little gameplay but also an overall and unique mood.
PS: the end could be a bit more rewarding ahah :-) I guess you dind't get the time to do a proper one, time was short.
