This game is still in progress, but the idea was for our Spring Character to launch his head (which had a health bar you took care of), to beat certain puzzles. I'll keep working on this even after the jam is over, I want to use this to pursue more of my actual development practice.

The game looks pretty good and I like how you've used the 4 color CGA palette.

Consider balancing the sound a bit more for headphone users. I look forward to playing it when its done.

Oh goodness the robot sprite is SO cute! The holding down to jump like a spring is definitely an interesting idea. I was having a little trouble with the platform collision boxes that made some of the jumps weirdly tricky. But I love the idea of tossing his head around for puzzles. Keep up the great work!
