I liked the gameplay. Got good vibes. Not sure if the difficulty gets too hard when jumps get very precise, barely got to feel the game.

Is the repo up-to-date or is the game really made with one script? I'm not familiar with the used stack.
Also, I would advise to make a web build if you can.

Hey @coderaurus I wish I had more time to flesh it out. The stack is Picotron and yes it is a single script. I added a link to the HTML5 version. I tried to embed it here but that still seems to be not really working well with picotron. Maybe in the next version of it.

The art and music are remarkable! You just brought me back to my childhood!
However, the game mechanics also brought me back to my childhood... Looking forward to your next game with more innovative and creative concept.

Very cool and very responsive! Gets difficult quickly, but fun with a bit of practice.

That's a perfect jam game! Simple, creative, and enthralling.
