Nice to play! Like the game concept and simple mechanic. It can become something with some art and sound polish)

Simple mechanic but so hard to reach the top. Actually, the game was funny to play!

No fuss, just straight to the point, I love it! It rides that fine line between being too easy that it's boring and too difficult that it's frustrating, it's just perfect! Good job balancing the game!
I initially thought that I had to avoid the blowfish because of how spiky it looked, but I quickly figured out it was actually a jump pad. Games taught us to avoid spikes, but you're not afraid to defy rules that others have set for us in the past, respect! Good job and thanks for letting me play it!

Very nice simple little game, I love me some rage games and this is definitely one of them:) Very cool!

verry fun perfect amount of difficulty and fun imo also very cute and i like how the colors aren't too dark just because it's an ocean game.

simple but very difficult, would have loved more feedback when it is bouncing of the walls

Fun, short, and simple. Doesn't take long to get your head round and seemed well balanced to me

Cool game. I'm not much of a twitchy gamer and this was pretty hard for me. But I liked the concept and how much depth it had for such simple controls.

Very cute! I finished the game pretty quickly! I like the cute graphics and the constant moving was interesting, you had to be careful to get the timing right. At first, I thought the pufferfish was dangerous / spikes that we shouldn't touch, so I was a little confused, but I figured it out eventually. Overall, good job!

Super simple yet super fun! The level design feels nice, fell down a lot of time but always learnt how to pass the different section without getting frustrated!

Really nice entry, keep up the good work :smile:

This was very clever to remove control over horizontal position. This simplified scope of the game while still managing to improve the challenge. I immediately thought about Shovel Knight and while I have never played the former, I was happy to try myself in this kind of challenge in a more friendly environment, accompanied by cute jellyfish! And it did challenge me for a perfect amount of time. Cool entry!

1st attempt babyyyyy. Fun little game, wished it was longer and had sounds, but I did enjoy the platforming.
