I really like the mechanic idea. The music got a little obnoxious though. The graphics are fun.

The slow-mo and log jumping felt really satisfying.

Cool idea, but very hard :) The short music loop got a bit annoying after a little while. Would have liked a reset button instead of figuring out I have to throw myself at the mercy of the spikes when I fail a level :) Overall, good job.

I really like how the log bounce to the ground and push you up, that's a great mechanism.
And I like the arrangement of teaching levels and difficulties.

Music sounds funny at first but it grows a little bit annoying. Nice graphics

Although there are a few bugs that I encountered, mostly about collider box I think:

At level 2 you take one jump and throw right, the log goes through the wall on the right//
At level 3 you take one jump and throw right, the log goes through the wall(but you can still pass)//
At level 4 you throw right, the log goes through the wall on lower right//
At level 5 you take one jump and throw right,the log goes through the wall on lower right//

At these levels there is no spike so I can't restart by dying, so I had to refresh the page.

With those set aside, still very impressive overall !:)

@decappoolla thanks for taking the time explane me how to reproduce the bugs, funny how we try not to crush ower own games hahaha.
The only level without spikes I think is level 2, but maybe its not clear that they are spikes

@saeedprez @brtek007 @evolving @mehrdadsh @retti01 @wubbaduck thanks for your comments! sorry for the music is the first time I "compose" music XD

@juako Just make the music play with littlebit less volume and make the loop longer atleast 2 min with every bar chancing only few notes in the scale. ps not a composer just what I have found out.

The movement mechanics in this are very cool - I don't think I've seen anything that works quite like this before?

Music isn't great, but I always like hearing Bosca Ceoil tracks in jams :smile: (Really nice to see a Kha game in the wild too - had considered using that myself!)

I'm REALLY into the motion of this game! I feel like you could probably flesh out a really large game with this mechanic. Great work!

log jumping is insanely fun lol, this is probably the most fun ive had with a ld game so far.

@terry Thanks! "Music isn’t great" I take that as complement hahahah. You should try kha, it is "kind" of low level, but I think that is a good thing. You can check out khawy if you like too.

@01010111 @blackgoku36 Thank you! Probably Im probably going to make a full game out of this, I feel there is a lot of room to explore ;)
@besto Thanks! really glad you had a fun time with it =D

Woah that was fun! I really enjoyed this, the art was great, the gameplay was great too! It's perfect how well made it is such that when you throw the log you are certain to bounce off of it. Well done!

Nice work! It took me a while to get used to the controls, but when I did it was really fun!

Really liked the movement mechanic, definitely took me a while to get used to it though! Good work!

The music is nice and the graphics are very cool! I like that you added instructions about the movement. I feel for me the controls are quite hard to get used to, I didn't really feel jumping between the walls

This jump mechanics is fun and fluid, graphics are good, level design is interesting. But I think it started jumping over spikes thing to hardly - before these levels I never jumped over the spikes, but then that's all I do, and it is really punishing for new players. Nevertheless, it's cool game.

Nice movement and music. Second level I was falling through the floor a lot after wall jumping though.
