Lantern Jump
A short platformer about a paper lantern climbing a tower, with wind that pushes you sideways.
Play it
Arrow keys to move, space to jump, hold down to drop through platforms
This game is played with a keyboard, so it works best on a computer. On a phone you can still watch it run, but you won't be able to move.
What was hard, what I learned
Wind sounded like a small feature and turned out to be the hardest part, because it changed how far every jump went. I ended up drawing the jump arcs on paper before writing any code. That made the levels feel fair instead of random.
