No cell phone service? How will you ever make that awesome social media post? You'd better find a spot where you get service.

Controls

A,D - Move left, right

Space - Jump

S - Drop from ledge

E - Pull out your phone

R - Restart level

Known Issues

Second level, there are some poor collisions. If you bump against an invisible wall (besides the level bounds) you can probably jump on it at the right angle.

Pressing Exit on the phone (esc key) does nothing after the first level is complete. (more important for desktop build)

An interesting idea. The game lacks shadows. It's very good that I tried to animate the main character - respect. The idea was reminiscent of the game Geting Over It. I wish you success in your next projects!

This is the first game that deserves all 5s in every category. I did not expect any game that was made in 48 hours to be this interesting! Artstyle is so awesome, good music and SFX. And idea is perfect for the theme.
After finishing the first level I was genuinely surprised that it wasn't the end and there was another one. I would like to play it even more!
I felt like there was more than one way to finish the level but I couldn't do it. Is it right?

Nathanialauthor20 Apr 2026, 15:20

@beareye wow thank you for high praise.The second level can be completed in multiple ways but some of the collision hitboxes don't act perfectly. I will be adding a credit section to my post but I was only able to do this much because I did not make the art assets.(I did make the phone art and the animation of the character looking at the phone)

Kind of slippery and a bit annoying but it's fine ig, couldn't get past the first level tho

MajoMirez20 Apr 2026, 20:39

Kid doing dangerous parkour to connect to social media, been there dude

I like it! It reminds me of MapleStory jump quests haha, I think the graphics could be a little more explicit in differentiate what's platform and what is not, but overall is very well done!

It's strange, but my game won't load...😢

Nathanialauthor20 Apr 2026, 21:59

@itero-proto are you trying to load it on ldjam? That doesn't work for some reason, but the itch.io version should load

Slippers20 Apr 2026, 22:00

Platforming is such a great implementation of the theme, very on point. The art is lovely and consistent, nice music too.

Every so slightly unforgiving on some the colliders, but you're well aware of that. Really nicely done, thanks.

woona21 Apr 2026, 05:47

I've completed both levels. It's a fun platforming game. Great job!

The only issue that I encountered is that sprites don't match with colliders. It would be great if you added a specific outline just for surfaces player can stand on, to make them more easily visible.

martinfernandezGD21 Apr 2026, 13:54

It's a lot of fun to play, and to see how high you can climb. In some cases, it's not very clear that you might fall and have to climb all the way back up.

Shnappy21 Apr 2026, 14:20

I love it! Simple, engaging and quick c:
The movement is pretty smooth

JohnCoffee21 Apr 2026, 16:25

i just ouldnt figure out the first level :(

Nathanialauthor21 Apr 2026, 16:29

@johncoffee The first level has two routes, but one ending position. You'll need to move some items around and jump off of them to reach the places you need to. Thanks for trying

stepa22 Apr 2026, 04:14

Everything is great, I would like a continuation

Haoxuan22 Apr 2026, 08:23

hahaha i love it'

Neochar22 Apr 2026, 14:56

What surprised me was that so many small items had collision and interaction effects; the level of completion was incredibly high. The game itself was also very interesting, making me keep trying to complete it.

Xahon22 Apr 2026, 19:13

Good game, managed to finish it. Platformers are one of the hardest genres to develop, you managed to make it looking cool. I hope you'll fix collisions and make more levels to play
Thank you for your submission!

rainot22 Apr 2026, 20:13

Very cool idea. The goal of the game was easily understandable, but still engaging and pushing around items had a good feel to it (especially when you realize you can push something as small and decorative-looking asa jar). Sometimes it was hard to tell what was jumpable and what was not.

Byte Bark22 Apr 2026, 20:17

Nice game! I like the concept and it's well delivered with the gameplay. Took me a few tries to clear the first level since I kept knocking things over and having to restart. But I guess that just the amount of effort you needed to get your post out XD

rynti23 Apr 2026, 17:30

Cool idea, really enjoying the mix of 2d platformer and climbing a building like in assassins creed or something :D

schizoid2k24 Apr 2026, 14:56

Even though I couldn't find a signal, I enjoyed trying. Nice audio, fun gameplay.

CodeRaurus25 Apr 2026, 09:43

Good idea and nice platforming. I was bit confused how the signal worked, perhaps it could have progressed as you get closer to the optimal spot. Usually you do have less waves in the icon when there is no reception, right?

ZedGame25 Apr 2026, 19:59

I like the idea, but I had to restart a lot due to physics object getting stuck or falling off at times.
The music is great and the puzzles are good though!

gKthegkpchannel25 Apr 2026, 23:44

very nice idea, fun game

Alex de la Cour26 Apr 2026, 11:01

Cool idea! It took me a minute to figure out you could sort of jump mid platform to get up to higher spaces but once I realised that the game made much more sense and was a lot more enjoyable. My criticism would be to make it more obvious what can and cannot be stepped on - on the second level there was a wire up the top that looks like the wire you can walk on, but when I walked on it I fell right through.

VenomousMouse26 Apr 2026, 11:50

Nice platformer and cool idea.

Nathanialauthor27 Apr 2026, 01:04

Thanks @alex-de-la-cour I definitely liked the outline idea someone mentioned. I know which wire you are talking about. My level boundary is supposed to block it but I forgot to add a collider to it. Oops!

SirRed4 May 2026, 17:00

I liked the idea, I had some issues on the second level at the area right before the top because i tried jumping over the box you need to push to the left and in my attempt to jump over it pushed it off the right and had to restart. Other than that the platforming elements felt good for me.

Wizard8 May 2026, 23:51

I really liked this one. Was a fun puzzle platformer trying to figure out how to get to the top of the map. hopefully it was an important post to risk their life just to send it. The levels you have felt well designed and had some clever tricks to get to the top. I just wish there were more levels. Still really enjoyed playing your game and am really looking forward to seeing more of it.
