Take control of a grasshopper and use your perfectly aimed jumping skills to gather energy bits and keep away the birds as long as possible! 

Left Mouse Button: Jump strength

Right Mouse Button: Rotate Camera

E: Nudge/Short-Hop/Unstuck


HOW TO PLAY:

1) Hold Left Mouse Button to charge and aim jump (Right Mouse Button rotates camera).

2) Short (blue) jumps are more vertical.

3) Long (red) jumps are lower, with more distance.

4) Collect energy bits to keep the birds away!

5) The higher elevation the energy bit, the better the point and time bonus.

6) Jumping through rings also grants a great point and bird-away-time bonus.

7) Some critters may disrupt you, but they cause you no damage.

Stay alive as long as possible, and set some high scores!

---

Short jumps will give you a more vertical hop, while longer, stronger jumps will go for low and distant. As long as you are collecting energy bits or jumping through rings, the birds will stay at bay. See if you can set your own personal high score, longest survival time, or even best hangtime!

Energy bits that are at higher-up elevations are worth more points, as well as award more time on the "stay away, birds!" timer. Though riskier and more difficult to get to, their reward is well worth it. Jumping through rings also provides a huge score and timer bonus, but can be difficult and frustrating to hit correctly! Don't waste too much time trying!

You'll meet some other critters during your adventure, but don't worry, they'll only get in your way. The only thing you have to fear are the birds, so keep collecting as long as you can!

This game was made for the GameDev.tv Game Jam 2025.

Found easteregg (?)

Dang, nicely done! If you listen real hard when you get into that nook, you may hear something, as well...

There are 4 or 5 more secrets in the game...some discoverable, like that one, and some random.

I honestly thought they'd just go unnoticed after the jam is over and the game got its handful of plays. Good job at finding one!
