Congrats on a great entry! :)
Landing a double jump sometimes is tricky but I think it just needed a bit more time to tweak.
Well done!
Thanks for the game :)
Fun game! Very well polished overall. Having the option to choose between mouse and keyboard controls is really nice, I preferred the mouse controls, but both seem good. Good job!
I do wish this game had a bit more to it, and I'd like to see it lean into the theme a bit more.
Good job, though! :)

@ausstein That's definitely up there. As of now the highest score is 126,543m :)
my record is:


(one thing that I'd nitpick is that when the current score is better than the high score, it should've become the new high score on the same screen too)
Looks like you went for the "learn by doing" approach. Picking up stuff at the beginning is teaching you left/right arrows, then "press down twice" teaches you the slam. But it took me some time to understand that I should slam the stuff in the air and not pick them up... A hint there, even a text-one, could help.
Restarting using the mouse was a bit tedious in a keyboard based game, restarting with the keyboard could make the game flow better.
