having only 3 lives for all levels is a bad idea imo Gave up once it started again from scratch, its not fun just re-doing all the levels to try again

#63What engine / library was used to make this?

#64I lost a bunch of times on level 7 and then was sent back to level 1. Is there a way to avoid redoing completed levels?
This is what we like to call a "skill issue".

So to clarify:
With infinite lives, it would have guaranteed you made it to the end, at which point you would stop playing anyway.
So in both cases you stop playing, but at least in one of the cases the game remains hard for people who like a challenge. Win win!

#67Nice work! Some thoughts: The camera is tilted instead of looking straight down, and my phone needs to be flat to be in the no movement neutral position. This is unpleasant in to ways: How I'm sitting right now makes it hard to look at my phone while it's flat; it would be much nicer to be able to set my neutral point so I could play with the phone mostly vertically. The combination of flat phone and camera angle is…
For the last level, you can get onto the moving platform on the first cycle if you're quick

very good idea

#69very nicely done with all the graphics and motion. One thing i would add is autofocus attribute on the next button so that i just have to hit enter.

#70Awesome! Make it a daily Wordle-style game! I need something new in my morning routine. I think having a universal 3-life max is very harsh. I died on level 9 and was sent back to level 1. No way am I going to do the first 9 again, so I won't find out what was on 10. I think it would be more casual friendly to have infinite repeats in every level, but you could have a total count of deaths, for people who care about…
