Its a pretty good game. I played it around when it first was created and I thought it was decent. Rocket jumping is probably my favorite part of it. A good game doesn't come without its flaws though, jumping and platforming is pretty hard to do, but otherwise its a decent game.

It doesn’t seem to bad
Right off the bat I noticed how janky the controls were, especially with leaping forward and jumping. The platforming I had to do I feel took longer than it should have due to this. The game otherwise was really satisfying, the controls is just what bothered me a bit. Keep up the good work!

Thanks!
That has been the thing people bring up the most as a flaw, definitely because of the delay between pressing jump and actually jumping, as well as the delay between landing and moving again. I put those things in intentionally, but clearly it’s not very fun and just ends up being frustrating.
The engine I used to make this (GameSalad), is weird, annoying, overly expensive, and no one even knows it exists, so there’s basically no documentation or support you can get on it.
Because of this, it’s unlikely I’ll be updating this game again. If it ever returns, it’ll be a recreation or maybe even sequel in a better engine, say Pygame or Unity.
Again, thanks for rating, even if I won’t be able to update this game any time soon, it’s still useful feedback that can improve any future projects I make.
EDIT - A bit late, but for anyone reading this now, I ended up making an update anyway. It made the jumping way more responsive and fast, plus a few other interesting things. Area 5 may have something special if you're lucky :)
This is actually a pretty cool and fun game. This is high quality.

Thanks! I originally posted it on a personal site a few months ago, which unsurprisingly didn't get much attention. I showed it to a friend earlier today and he was like "You should put this on Newgrounds or something." So, I updated my profile on here for the first time in years and published the HTML5 build on here. It's kinda funny how this game started development as a reimagining of my only other game uploaded on Newgrounds, which I highly recommend NOT playing, cause it sucks.
Ok Game.
