Tip: Duck + Jump = Super Jump

This entry came from the mind of my 9 year old nephew. I showed him the Kenney Asset Package and Construct 2 engine we had to work with and he came up with all the game play elements and level design. I simply "transcribed" his ideas as they unfolded over many small iterations. Each "level" is assembled from areas he pre-designed. We didn't have time to add enemies which would have been killed by calling down nearby stars from space.

Kinda tricky to play this on Win PC BUT it is a nice game. Great visuals.

i kept dying on the first spike again and again.
Maybe the distance is too far?

Sorry, I didn't include the "Super Jump" (Jump while ducking) in the description. That should get you over those long spike areas or let you jump up onto a platform.

Well, shame there was no sound. Other than that it was pretty fun.

I like the charge jump, mario bros 2 style but it's not really a "weapon"!

It's fun! But sound would make it even better!

Not sure where the theme was in this game. Controls are definitely awkward for keyboards, but I won't hold that against you since you said it's made for Mobile.

One thing I kept wishing for was the camera to be fixed on the Y access. There were multiple times where I would jump to my doom because I couldn't see what was coming beneath me.

Never-the-less, I still enjoyed playing, and think this has potential if you choose to keep working on it.

Nice graphics. It was a little repetitive and it has no goal. Anyways was pretty funny to play it.

I love the little story behind this, sad its a little unfinished I woulda liked to have seen where this ended up.
