Jimpy

Jimpy is the very beginning nibblies of an abstract, light physics-based game where you play a "cricket" that jumps from surface to surface to reach various goals.   This was based on a fever-dream memory of an old C64 game called Bugaboo that I remember playing as a kid.  It was incredibly frustratingly unforgiving but foreshadowed games like Getting Over it.

Controls

• Left-click/touch and drag to aim and control jump strength
• Hold left mouse button/touch while flinged to attach to the next surface you contact
• Reach green platforms to move to different stages.
• ESC returns to main menu
• R resets current level

There are only a handful of levels in this prototype, and it's hardly genius, but I may comeback and play with more novel mechanics at some point.

 Enjoy! :)

P.S.:  I was experimenting with adding direct movement as well, so WASD does allow you to move explicitly to some degree, but that's not the intended experience and might break levels or make them too easy.
