so, jumpy platformer is a game made by [Jwunderl](https://forum.makecode.com/u/jwunderl). a relatively simple platformer, 10 or so levels, but it got a bunch of popularity, mods, remakes, and so on BECAUSE of its simplicity. the simple joy of stomping on little green nuggets, avoiding orange bird things, and trying to get a high score, it all blends together to be way better and more fun than it has any right to be. so, that being said, what do _you_ think is the best thing about jumpy platformer? the pure, simple fun? the modding community? the attention it’s gotten?

I think it’s great, when I was starting out it really helped me to look at its code and see how it worked. However animations are kinda outdated which definitely confused me back then

I will say that it probably **mainly** got any popularity because it was the first game i wrote, then we put it on the home page before arcade ever launched, and kept it up there since 🙂 but yeah a lot of it is very old at this point / could use some updates to be simpler / etc
