Attention!
This game is Foddian and therefore deliberately enragingly difficult. Not for the lighthearted!

Finally got to the long ice platform and it sent me allll the way back to white!
I 'll never be able to beat it - but I had such a fun time!
Of course, the experience of falling is in some ways similar to 'getting over it' or 'jump king' and whatnot - but looking down to watch your failure occur slowly in full 3d has a certain 'spice' to it that the 2d games don't. Was definitely squirming in my chair every time the realization hit that I wasn't going to make the edge.
Some of my favorite details:
* using audio rather than a power bar was a nice touch - feels more visceral somewhow
* the music and visuals give it an almost 'LSD dream emulator' feeling - love it
* inchworming up to an edge with little hops is so funny
* when I saw the ice blocks my stomach dropped, haha, 'oh dear god no'
fantastic work!
This was a fun entry! I imagined myself a little frog hopping between these platforms. The physics felt nice and actually the jump distance/power felt weirdly intuitive. Nice job!
It takes a little bit of time to setup the mouse sensibility and to understand the mechanics, but once it's done it's actually pretty intuitive, and each jump need a full focus.
I think that it's on purpose that the jump was only based on sound, but maybe if you had some time it would have been nice to add an accessibility option that add a regular jump bar, for people with disability or simple who can't properly listen (no headset, noisy place...) while playing games ?
Anyway, good work, that a nice take on the "raging game" genre !
That was a major rant but do remember the actual game part of your game is fun. Outside of the jam this game would be great with a bit more polish.
