Quite fun to play, but the jumping indicator is both a bit hard to read and seems to sometimes just straight up lie. I had quite a few instances where I massively under- or over-shot my jump because the indicator seemed to show something other than what happened.

I'd have liked to see some more goals (e.g. getting into a certain area via people patrolling around or whatever) over just the distance maxing.

Really fun idea. Jumping felt great. Having goals would have made me willing to play a lot longer.

@jaco-van-hemert thanks a lot, the original plan was more oriented to trying to have missions, like infect X person, or some number of persons or reach one area. Would have loved more time to add some of those features.
I will need to check the indicator, in theory it should match, but I think you may be right that in some cases there are differences

It's a very fun mechanic, there's just not much game happening.

I got stuck in this game for a long time! I tried to jump 25-30 meters, but I always hit people's shoulders :(

The game is really cool! However, only after about 20 attempts I understood what to do in the game

fun idea, wish there was more of an objective beyond just getting the longest jump

My wife: "Remember, you want to rate as many games as possible tonight."
Me: "No, I want to get as far as a jump as possible."

I really enjoyed this game. I started with little hops based on the description, but I quickly saw there's only one score: Distance. And then I started playing the real game. I found that there's one lady circling the back of the park and I could aim from her to the far entrance where there would be groups of people. I got a good hop from there. This game could go far if you added more objectives and levels. I got the same feeling playing this as I did with **Kill It With Fire**.

I couldn't let @tsaot have a higher score than I. Corner to corner, baby! ![Sprite-0002.png](///raw/a3c/c2/z/68e1f.png)

Very fun to play! It would be great to have some coins/objects to catch while also jumping, but it's a great game! Good job!

I am loving seeing you guys compete for the highscore, and its awesome reading your feedback, would have totally loved to have more objectives and mini interactions like the coins idea.

Thanks so much for the feedback

I've been trying to beat @t-c, but I can't get it, so I started aiming for landing in the large takeout container. Turns out the best I can do is land and roll off due to the shape of the hitbox.

I managed to roll up the chopsticks a little and then back down and fell off.

Such an interesting game concept! I wish there was a way to infect people like the description hinted at, furthest distance is open ended and felt incomplete to me

Cool idea and pretty fun game. A lot could be done with this game, e.g. infecting people, having to jump every 5s, etc.

Also I didn't know lice were that big! ;)
