You were able to capture that really nice design artistic here was nice. And the tutorial part was fun and easy to understand. Two things that would have made this game that much better would have been coyote time (being able to jump right after you leave and edge, instead of only allowing jumps when on a floor). And the other would be to have both Space and W key for jumping. Otherwise amazing work, you should proud of what you made in such a short amount of time. Cheers.

I liked and finished the game. Nice jump controls and precision platforming mechanics!

This was a cute little game! I agree with above, the tutorial was really nice and easy to understand, and some coyote time or some jump refinement would have been nice, it felt like it was on a bit of a delay. Would have definitely liked to see some more levels, by the time I got into the swing of it and really getting into it it was already over! That being said it is a game-jam, so not many levels is never that big of an issue. Overall, the jumping and movement definitely took some getting used to, and the graphics were a bit plain, but this was a cute little concept executed in a funny way!

@Porcus-pie and @Aarimous thanks for the feedback! I just googled it and now I know what "coyote time" is, and yeah you are right! That's definetly missing!
I haven't created a lot of levels, cause I hadn't much time left, because I tried to implement a moving platform to use it in the levels as well, but I can't finish it in time... That's the reason why there aren't that much levels.
Also the grafics are very plain. Yes. I absolutly agree. I tried to paint something, but nothing looked that good in combination with each other, so I tried to make the best out of what Unity gave me!
But anyways thanks for the feedback!

Very well done :) The game could have benefited from a quick restart button (press r to restart) and coyote time as aarimous also said

@phoenixofforce Yeah you are right! A reset button is missing. I know I forgot something thanks xD

I liked the tutorial. This game could need some coyote time, also missing a platform and having to wait until the timer runs out to restart the level was a bit annoying, either kill me or give me a restart button :)! But overall good work!

My only complaints are it was pretty short and there was no level reset. I had a lot of fun with it, the controls worked very well especially. If you found a way to make procedural levels I would play the hell out of this.

Thanks @cactusdan and @atomicptr for your feedback! The procedural levels are a good idea! Maybe I will work more on it after the jam. And yeah, you guys are right, the game is missing a reset button!

I liked the game! The jumping mechanic could be a little more responsive, but overall I had fun playing it! Congrats!

Really nice game, fits really well with the theme of the jam, even though the idea wasnt that original but the exectution was really good, you really had clever level design.
The platform mechanichs themselves could be improved but worked really well and felt nice to use.
The story was quite original and funny at times.
There could have maybe been a little more levels but apart from that your game is really fun.

I like games this kind because it's perfect for speedrunners :) Great job!

Solid game! I agree with what everyone else said about coyote time, and it would also be nice if the level immediately restarted when you fall off the platforms (instead of having to wait for the timer to run out). Other than that, a bit short, but pretty good.

Solid, simple platformer game!

The movement and jump controls could have been better (like others already said). Also, since the game is very "try, fail, try again"-style, a shortcut for restarting the level would be practical, and the menu should be usable via keyboard.
Another small thing: When entering the next level, the timer immediately starts. This makes sense ingame since you need to hurry to the hospital, but from a player's perspective it would be a bit more pleasant if the timer was delayed until the first key press.

If there was an update with some of these improvements and some more levels, I'd play it again. :)

Congrats on this game!
It's a correct game, it's using the theme at a very basic level, I think one thing that would make it a little less frustrating is having a key to restart the level and not having to switch to the mouse to click on restart when you lose ^^

@binarydiv and @kaldrin thanks for your feedback! You guys are right, the game needs a restart button and I also have to add some coyote time , but I don't wanne touch the game until the voting is finished. But I would definitly work on it afterwards and I really LOVE to see thouse kind of feedback! It's very helpful and makes me keep working on my passion :)

Nice game! Had fun platforming my way through the levels. I look forward to the hospital bill! Hope it's not too much...

Simple and easy to understand game. Sometimes had the feeling that my space bar was not responding. Nice work! :)
