This Side Up
Description
A game about delivering a package ... who thought it'd be that hard??
This Side Up is a platformer where you can't jump! Use your box-ing to propulse yourself through the world.
If you manage to reach the right side of the level, you'll actually understand what this game is all about 😉
Please let us know your thoughts about the game in the comments (and if you managed to deliver the package!).
P.S: a windows build is also available for download if the web version doesn't work.

Really fun game! I enjoyed playing it, I came back to it a second time because I really wanted to make it to the end and it was satisfying :D
There's 2 points I'd like to give my feedback on, for potential points of improvement:
1- Adjust the visual to help understanding the jump mechanic. It is a challenging game by design, but it would be easier to understand the mechanic if the visual gave a responsive feedback
2- Add an "easy" mode that would just have more checkpoints, so that more people can make it to the end
That being said this is a very solid game with fun mechanics and beautiful visuals and audio, good job team!!
Thank you for your kind words and congratulations on reaching the end!
I completely agree with both points. I am sure the difficulty spike was fun to some, I think we could've added more checkpoints as you said to make it more accessible which fits a gamejam better.
Personally the thing I would like to update the most (I did only the programming) is the way how the boxing glove works, as the way it works now is actually not the intended effect haha.
Hopefully next time I can program even more stuff and make it more polished than last time! :)
that's so cool, great work !
The game music glitched when I paused the game. Nice art but I think the jump mechanic is way too random in a way? idk, made me quit.
I assum it was with the web version?
If it was, I did have several audio issues only in the webgl version that were hard to fix. The windows one shouldn't have them :)
Thanks for playing!
