You are a part of a tribe that has a horrible storm come annually over the course of 13 days. As a coming of age ritual every year young members are sent out to brave the storm each day and return to the village to sleep, going further away each night.
\nYour future success as an adult relies on coming back in a timely manner and getting a good night’s rest.
\nAre you up to the task, or will you be kept up all night?
\nHop up mountainous terrain as clouds try to blow you away.\nReach the lit hut to sleep to the next day.
\nWASD\nESC to pause\nM to Mute/Unmute
\nThis is the first time I’ve programmed anything outside of excel.

Nice job, fun series of challenges. I enjoyed getting thrown around the clouds. Great sound effects. The accelerating music created a sense of urgency. Well done!

That’s a cute game! Well done! I liked that the clouds are enemies. Very creative!

\nThe graphics were good, but the game played in a tiny square off to the side.
\nThe music was nice, and I found it amusing that it got faster and more perilous as I progressed.
\nI liked the little jumping/hopping animation.
\nI thought the cloud (despite dumping rain on me) looked pretty cute, until I touched one :)
\nI liked that the levels seemed to add an extra platform to the level.
\nMuch more fun that spreadsheets!

The rain that most likely caused it was not needed at all. It was fun climbing the mountains though and I like the mountain graphics.

\nWould have loved alt key scheme (arrow keys) too with a separate jump button. I always feel awkward playing a keyboard only game with just my less dominant hand. It only makes sense to me when you’re controlling the mouse with the right one.
\nBut the controls felt good though. Nice amount of velocity and control even during jumps. And even when you got hit, it was cool that you still had some amount of control over yourself and could potentially save yourself from falling all the way down.
\nThe track to the mountain each level felt a bit unnecessary. Seemed like just a waste of time. Don’t think anything would have been changed for the worse if you spawned right at the base of the mountain at least after the first one. Or maybe if there actually was something happening on the ground level before you stated your ascend could work too.
\nVisually it was pretty nice. Quite clean and cohesive art style and a pleasant enough looking color palette even though it was a bit murky and dark. Audio wise it could use some more love. There were very little different sound effects (just win, jump and getting hit I think) with no variation too. Made it feel quite gamey and desolate. And the music didn’t help that much either. Having the tempo increase was nice way of giving more sense of progress but the music piece itself was pretty monotone and short. Didn’t really feel musical enough.
\nAnyways, good job on finishing your first game 👍 (unless you’ve made some excel games 😅)

\nWould be nice if the canvas was bigger (fullscreen). I like the use of AudioContext-oscillators for music and sfx.

A lot of very good things: scrolling, music, physics… and i liked the graphics.\nJust I recommend you to implement controls with arrows and/or qzsd for people, like me, who does not have a qwerty keyboard :) Good job!

I ran around and jumped a bit, got hit by an angry cloud and then after a lot of jumping the next level started (I had no idea why). After a few levels it became clearer - you need to ascend to the top of the village by jumping up the platforms and avoiding the clouds, which send you crashing back down again. Repeat this 13 times and I assume you win. The task gets harder with each level, as you have to climb higher and higher with more and more clouds getting in the way. I made it to around level 7 but couldn’t get beyond that.
\nI liked how the music got faster with each level, upping the ‘frantic’ nature of making the ascent, even though I don’t believe there was any kind of time limit or reason to move fast. Not entirely sure this is on-theme, either, and the game window was teeny-tiny, but it all worked, the platformer action was quite nice and it was strangely compelling up to a point.
