As someone who went into game design because they had surpassed the height limit of their childhood dream of becoming an astronaut, this hit deep and was definitely relatable. Love the game and keep up the good work. I'm gonna go cry now

A super weird, but also pretty funny little game.

A modern masterpiece. Could use music, but I have no idea what it would be.

That was really fun and amazing scary in a way. Really liked how at the character grows, he jumps higher. Thanks for making it!

The itch.io link for the html5 version seems to be broken!

Great game! Very fun! It was very easy to understand what to do, and it stuck to the Ludum Dare theme very well!

Fun little game, and way deeper than I expected. Nice job!

Nice game. I liked the player art the most and the way the player grew up as you were playing was really neat. The restart button seemed a little buggy on the ending screen (web version). I had to press it a few times before it actually restarted the game.

Nice game. Got old kinda quickly, could use some interesting events or power-ups, maybe a menu and a story too if you keep working on it. I enjoyed making it to the end though and the sound effects and art were good.

Yet my dream is to become an astronaut lol
very cute game and I really enjoy playing it! a suggestion is that the triganle UI that indicate the position of board could be larger. Too tiny to see for now.
My dream is having hamburgers before being an astronaut XD
Good job!
