Nice graphics, I liked the red glow bars and cute face. I found the early part very hard to maneuver due to the lack of energy. I would have been nice to start with more frequent energy coins and then as the player got high reduce the spawn rate. But this is very impressive that you were able to make this in a weekend. You should be very proud of yourself. Cheers!

Neat little game, good job!

It's a little on the harsher side difficulty wise, mainly for how the jump works: at the moment it's adding a force to the current velocity, so if you jump when you are falling down it will reduce the speed, but it's not really a jump. Try to change the force to an upward vector, or instead you can just clamp to a minimum.

I got 84. Seems to be entirely based on memorizing the locations of energy balls and planning out routes accordingly

Actually The first 2 energy ball locations are fixed but after that they are placed randomly.

@davide-rossetto That particular Jump is a feature rather than a bug. You see this way there is Momentum in the game but I do agree that game is a little too hard so I am thinking that when you collect a energy coin your energy becomes Max rather than increasing just a little. Any thoughts by anyone on this matter would be appriciated.

This game is so hard but that made me want to play it more - maybe it would be nicer if the camera was farther up and you could safely land on the top of red platforms

This game is so difficult, and I don't necessarily mean it in a bad way just that it is. The first few things are the same so it gives you a chance to build momentum, but the rest of the level is randomized so it becomes a little more about luck. If you lose momentum you're done for. I thought it was fun to play though, the little beep when you jump is cute but maybe a little loud.

I don't think the energy should fill up to the max when you grab a ball, but maybe when you're jumping it decreases a little less? It seems like the amount of jumps you can have is not enough sometimes, especially if you lose the momentum, you have no chance to recover. Just my thoughts though. I like the game though!

As others have mentioned, this game is very hard! Zooming out the camera might make the game a bit more doable!

@payaosito Yeah I guess you are right so here is a update to the game where I made more changes to make the game easier to play
