Keeping it very basic for my first entry. Simply avoid the walls using the spacebar (and hit r to restart). Gravity flippers add extra challenge. Yeah, it's not really 'jumping' as such but the name still works...

Created in Gamemaker Studio, it uses only a single (coloured) square sprite for every object in the game.

I couldn't quite find a good way to get any audio in.

The IOGraph shows the mouse movement for most of my work through Sunday before submitting.

Thanks!

Nice solid controls, great job. Those tall blocks killed me.

fun and minimalist, well done (a little bit too hard for me)

The "jump" is hard to get, nice idea of changing gravity (:

I'm curious as to what scores anyone can get too, my record is 745.

Sticking to the edges whenever possible seemed to help!

Nice and simple gameplay. Reminds me of those old flash helicopter/missile games where you had to get through a tunnel. I think the jumping could have done with a little tweaking.

Damn this is addictive...

Simple and fun. The jump control is kinda hard though. Great job nonetheless!

Nice game. Really hard to make some jumps into small openings.

Good to see it's not too easy then!

Fun, simplistic game. Very elegant way of displaying all the information - one of the first truly minimalist games I've played thus far. Well done.

I like it! Controls were kinda wacky, though.

Might be easier if it was slower. Good game though.

Fun game, though jumping was a bit hard to control at times.
