Move through soda cans and try for the best time! Be careful to not run out of fizz and be mindful that pop'd cans are gone for good!
Story
After being inspired by an unbelievable scene of monkeys jumping between barrels, Ant-onio and his friends got together to hold an Olympics in the wild.
The highlight of the competition is the legendary Soda-Mint Jumping. In this thrilling event, contestants use the explosive power of soda-mint reactions to propel themselves to new heights! Mastering this unique challenge will require precision, timing, and a bit of daring.
Mint Olympics is a charming indie platformer that puts you in the tiny shoes of a determined ant a grand mission: to win the prestigious Ant Olympics! You’ll guide your agile hero through a series of soda cans, propelling yourself with small pieces of mint candies.
Your mission is to jump between the cans until you reach the end of the route, inside the red arch. Your accuracy and speed to reach the end of the route will be evaluated, and your grade will be awarded based on these criteria. You must calculate your mouse angle and power well, to be able to reach the cans at the right time.

The art is very cute, and the music is a nice little bop, but it doesn't quite loop perfectly, if that loop was fixed I think it would be really great for this game!
All in all great job putting this together!
The game sure could benefit from some tweaks, so thx for the feedback.
@blazejmg917 you were spot on the greatest obstacles we had. We don't know how the hells that music loop wasn't working as intended and couldn't make it flawless in time. And yeah, the leaves... That's why we chose to call it "ricochet". It is crazier than we were aiming for (a little jump thing). :sweat_smile:
I'm glad you had fun tho!
Very cute graphics, and the music is nice.
Only complaint is I feel like the leaves are a little unreliable, it feels like sometimes they bounce me in an unexpected direction, or sometimes I seem to pass straight through them.
It's always a rush followed by a lot of learning especially from what you guys have to say.
A BIG THANKS! I hope each of your games get great ratings.
Cheers!
