This looks sick. I've been waiting for years for someone to make a platformer based around shell jumps.

I support this! Lack of a good genre tag for Arcade Puzzle games hurts discoverability. I tagged Tetrachroma and some other games.

I like the concept of the Rainbow Dolphin game I made for the falling block jam, but I feel unsatisfied with the 9 day jam version, so I'm continuing to develop it! I'm waiting to reveal the post jam version when it's ready (soon!)

This is a clip of what the max speed level in my jam game Rainbow Dolphin is like. The noise blocks are "pollution" that you have to avoid breaking. It gets pretty chaotic but I find it fun. When I recover from the jam I want to develop the idea a bit more. #FallingBlockJam

Falling Block Jam Day 1! Spent time working on music and thinking about the theme. I'm also using the Jam to port my C++/SDL library to Emscripten, which... works so far? Still need to test a few things, and then it's on to gameplay.
