The Collapse by Cratthew
The Collapse is a game short about defeating bosses in a constantly decaying environment. The game features 3 bosses and an endless mode. Try to beat my highscore of 10 bosses downed in endless!
This was my first game jam that I've actually completed. I had a ton of fun, and can't wait to hear feedback!
Thanks in advance for playing my game.

Also congratulations on finishing your first game jam! Solid entry for your first entry
Jumping on the platforms that are falling is already difficult, getting hit with boulders that you cant see makes it really frustrating. I think the game would benefit from some warning indicators showing where the boulders are going to appear.
Great job on your first jam
However, there's an overabundance of cheap hits on the final stage - I keep getting hit by the boulders without any clear indication on where they fall. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent game :D
Great job!
I think my biggest criticism is that you've opted to make any damage at all a restart. That's nice and all, but for any of the levels that involve more vertical movement, the falling rocks become an unfair and unlucky death sentence as you don't have enough time to react to them on the way up. I think this particular aspect needs more fine tuning, maybe a replacement with rocks blowing in the wind or something along those lines to replace the falling ones on vertical stages. Otherwise, I thought the level progression was neat, especially with the stage where you end up on lots of falling platforms.
Nice work!
