I'm not sure I agree with that hitbox ;\ but the rest of the game was fun!
I like the feeling on holding out the jumps or quick dropping.

I totally agree, need to work on the hitbox :D
Thanks both of you for playing :)

simple and beautiful design! well done!
the jump is also very fun, some hard to get coins for extra points could be fun, and maybe some modifiers (like a temporary double jump) could add a lot to the game and make me want to keep trying

Nice shadow, and I like the updated colors and background. The hitbox is seeming pretty good to me.

Just a heads up, you don't really need to incorporate a "pause" in your code as PICO-8 has a dedicated "start"-type button, (button 6, Enter on keyboard) that handles pausing the game for you. But, you should consider btnp() instead of btn() for a function like this anyhow, which only registers once per press so the menu doesn't open and close repeatedly.

@kozm0naut
Thx for your feedback!
Actually implementing the pause function, really was unnecessary and most probably I will remove it again.
Btnp() I didn't know of, thanks for that hint! I already started wondering how to code it for my self at the beginning :D

That is such a unique graphic style, I love it!
