This is a game I made a number of years ago, but I realized I only ever really got feedback on it from close friends, and I'm curious to see what folks at BBS think of it.

It's a deceptively simple game I think, in that you can understand the rules easily enough but the difficulty ramps up to "impossible" very quickly. A game never lasts longer than a minute I don't think.
My high score ever is 13, post yours below!

Very nice concept, I just made it to 15 points. I found out a little exploit though: if you just start moving in one direction until you reach full speed, you then just have to keep Space pressed and you will get 13 points with no effort. After that I just got lucky :)
I got to 15! My trick was to spend my first several jumps racing my initial ripples horizontally so that I could build up quite a few jumps before having to move vertically at all.

lol, wow it does indeed work out perfectly for that. I would need to adjust the speed of the player just slightly to fix that.
Cool game! IDK if it's just me with my Dark theme, although I barely can see anything.

Ah, yeah I guess I developed this before having added the dark theme to my site.... I'll try to remember to address that if I ever do a v4
