Carl is not techsavy. He lived for 70 years without all these ApplePhones, why should he need them now?
Thinking about that, he falls asleep and sees everything he feared so long...

We didn't have the time to add everything we wanted, so stay tuned for the post compo/jam!

Neither the jar nor the web version run on my mac. Tried Safari and Chrome.

I also didn't get the game to run from the jar or the web. On Windows/Chrome.

jar and web version fixed. web version is buggy as hell for chrome, so please try it with firefox or safari (opera not tested yet).

Great job on the animations. They felt really smooth. I especially liked the death animation. I did run into some bugs though (tried the jar version). If I jumped into a block and hit the guys head I wasn't able to jump anymore until I killed myself.

Good job! I played the web version on Firefox - seemed to work OK. The character graphics were very nice and I liked the music. My biggest complaint is that input is unresponsive - the player keeps walking for a bit when I quit holding forward and does not jump immediately. But, overall, I had fun.

Haha! It's the android mascot! Cute animations. Good game :)

For a game about jumping in time, the jump animation is a bit misleading that it takes so long with the windup to see whats happening...but impressive effort to consider such details in the first place!

Good entry. I'm not sure the jump needs such a long windup though.

Interesting concept and good music and graphics :)

You should work at the collision detection ;) sometimes it does strange stuff but nice game!

I really liked the delay on the jump and slowdown. Was awkward but in a way that seemed pretty consistent with controlling an old fella. Bit buggy in places, the looped audio could have been longer - dead fun though overall.

Gameplay is ok but the art could be better
