Cool but final screen is really jank and the cycle is annoying due to how position dependent the gimmick is. Also shout outs to the soundtrack having one of the top 3 worst songs I've ever heard. I don't have a mommy

That is clearly one of the most unpleasant gimmick I ever played. While I think it may have potential, once the shit start to get momentum you're basically doomed and it's very easy to throw an attempt. Also iirc the theme of the game jam is fantasy, and this game doesn't fit at all.

How can one gimmick be so based??? Very fun and short but overall really neat.

I feel the gameplay could do more since you pretty much just do the exact same thing for everything once you figure out how to control our beloved johnathen. I like the sprites, theyre pretty funny and the title screen is really funny.
Johnathen game is a game where you.

Really weird game that utilizes a gimmick throughout in which a water creature (Johnathan) is attracted to you in a way that seems similar to Boshy's Sonic. Johnathan's ability is to give you back your jump, which allows you to progress through parts that wouldn't be possible otherwise.
I couldn't actually beat the game due to the seemingly difficult segments in it, mostly because I couldn't figure out the gimmick. The difficulty pretty much will depend on you yourself discovering how to use it, because the actual jumps don't seem that hard. It's still an interesting idea to have, but maybe keeping it a bit easier would help more people figure it out intuitively, or provide a tutorial so they can learn that way as well.
It's very weird so I would say it's worth checking out for a few minutes, and if you can not clear then that's pretty reasonable.
