Great game!
Really good and really addictive and it made me jump too 11/10
Fun game! I played this one for a while, and your design definitely made it addictive. I liked that the game has more to it than it initially appears -- you did a great job creating a mood. I made it down a bit over 1000 feet, and I never knew whether there might be more scenes of storyline below, though I do see the word "infinitely" in your description. Some feedback I hope is helpful: on the big falls, it often felt like there was no way to avoid taking damage if you got an unlucky configuration. Once I maxed my stats, my ability to progress really came down to those falls. Perhaps slowing the fall or leading the camera downward on the big falls would allow for more dodging? Or an expensive parachute in the store? Nice job on this game!
