Made as a submission for PP Jam #9
Theme: Time
Mechanic: Double Jump

This game takes the them of 'Time' and stretches it to focus on the timing of the athlete's jumps to aim for the best heights and distances reached.

Ever felt like track and field long jump could use an extra jump?

This is track and field long double jump.

Controls:

Mash left and right arrow to gain speed

Hold space to choose the angle for the jump, release to jump.

Do it again in mid air to use your double jump.

Post your high scores in the comments, best score gets a cheeseburger

I like this game

Crazy score, great Job! I'm glad you like it 🙂🙂

At the moment my high score is 20.1

Keep at it if you want that cheeseburger 😅

As MilkBeans pointed out, this game makes me nostalgic for old school flash games. The mashing bit goes on for way too long, makes my fingers hurt. Furthest distance I got is 16

I've taken your complaints into account and reduced the total running distance. Feel free to try again and let me know if eases any pain :)

Mashing bit is so much better now. The new filter and soundtrack fit very well. Looks much more polished and complete now!

New record: 22

Just add some sound effects and something like this is worthy of CoolMathGames. As of this comment, (I've been playing for 2 minutes), I got a speed of 6.9, a height of 0.7, and a distance of 8.7.

Thanks for the feedback, I've doubled down on the retro feel of the game and added a soundtrack and some effects. Let me know what you think!

Yeah those were some very good changes. I like how its more retro, and the applause is a nice touch. CoolMathGames would prosper off of this.
Also I got to a distance of 13.9 and speed of 9.9.

got 29,2 distance and my fingers hurt. loved the game 

That's a crazy distance, I couldn't get anywhere near it.  I've tweaked the running speed and distance, let me know if you can beat 30!

I did it

I like that you managed to get exactly 30, you're showing off 🤣
