Jumping Jive, is a 2D side-scrolling platformer. I plan on updating multiple times as I want to make a game that feels like a old school Mario SNES style of gameplay. This is only the first iteration and changes are expected until it is in a form I am happy with. Please provide all the feedback you possibly can as any help is very exciting.

Controls

Keyboard

WASD for player movement

Space - Jump

Q - In Game Pause (no menu just will stop the game at point, press again to unpause)

While Paused Pressing R will Reset the Level

Tab - Zooms out to get a view of the map

On Main Menu use mouse to select Start/Reset Score buttons.

Gamepad

Joystick for player movement

(A/X) - Jump

Left Bumper - Zooms out

Start Button - Pause

While Paused Pressing Select will reset the level

On Main Menu

(A/X) - Starts Game

(B/O) - Resets Score

I plan on creating many more levels as only 3 are available at this time, I also have designs for setting up a world map, and having Boss Battles. Many power ups, and abilities to come by the next iteration as well as actual pause menus. End Goal is to have a fully playable 2 worlds of 10 levels by next update version along with implementing changes based on feedback provided by Users.

Thank you for the time you take to play my game! I appreciate everything! I am a solo dev and work full time so changes sometimes are slow to come, but I am dedicated to this project an am actually starting a devlog and posting to the game development subreddit and to twitter on a weekly basis.
