Would've like a bit more width out of the level so there's more side to side action. Right now you can just spam W and get pretty far.
With that being said, there were a few times were I died simply because the next platform was just out of reach. It didn't happen often, but enough to where it's worth mentioning. It also felt like sometimes my jump input got eaten as I landed, which feels pretty bad in this type of game as most of the platforms disappear pretty quickly.
With some polish I think this could be a pretty fun "Doodle Jump" style mobile game!
I feel there is some sort of health mechanic, because when I fell three times from a platform, it was game over. If so, there probably should be an indicator it or instructions so the player is aware.
Another thing that bugged me was getting locked when falling of platforms. It would be cool, if there was little leeway to save yourself.
There is no audio, but a simple jump sound could've increased the experience significantly.
Good job!
It is kind of sad that the game eventually becomes impossible to play any further once you get to between 7-8 thousand points.
If I were to experiment with this game, once thing I'd like to try is giving the player an option to charge a superjump, while slightly randomising the time platforms take to disintegrate. Give players a reason to tempt fate by staying on unstable platforms, y'know?
Regardless, you have something with a lot of potential here. Nicely done.
But after some point platform are to far away and this not fill right.
i really liked the art of the goat
it'd be nice if the platforms had a bit more variation, or even just more small ones
if the goat turned around depending on what direction you're moving and there was audio the game would immediately feel a lot nicer to play
also i recommend disabling the audio and mood voting categories, since there's no audio or story in the game, you're just hurting the amount of ratings you get
