Spike Spin
This was going be an entry to Cram Jam 2023 (a jam I randomly found when searching through jams on itch) but I missed the deadline >:c (think that's the first time it's happened to me in any jam where I didn't bail out halfway through)
It was kinda annoying because the game was literally building for Windows but then time ran out, but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The initial idea was that you would jump to attack, only this ended up turning into "jump to enter a spin jump that infinitely auto-pogoes on spikes, and this spin jump can store a second normal jump".
I added a bit more levels after the jam, since there was barely any content in the jam version at all.
- WASD / Arrow keys to move
- Space to jump
- R to reset

The mechanic is original and feels very clean. I really wanted to do more levels when it all came to a stop:( I hope you make some more content;)
Yeah I plan to add more content today or tomorrow...
Very cool design and main mechanic, great aesthetic. Too bad you just missed the deadline, since this is an awesome game.
Feels like I should be able to bounce off wall spikes, or maybe that bouncing should require a little more skill, but could make a great platform/puzzler as is.
Yeah, I intended to make wall spikes knock you in a directional-wall-jumpish direction (if you know what I mean) and ceiling spikes knock you downwards, but I realized I'd need a separate tilemap for each one, so I scrapped it. (Might add it later today with some more content, or maybe tomorrow...)
I'm not on windows :(, but it looks absolutely PHENOMENAL! nice color palette, and I feel so bad that you missed the deadline!
