Juno Jump

The graphics are very good, though they could use some proper animation in game if possible.
The mechanics are fine - well established and reasonably smooth, though I would love a more obvious power meter as I found it difficult to judge the power from the bear's crouch.

I thought the major, killing problem with this app is the pacing (I put tutorial/learning curve because I wasn't sure what to put). It's difficult and clearly supposed to be difficult, so whenever you die you should be able to restart again as quickly as possible. Having to view the game's logo scrolling down + ui animations every time I died was painful and the first time you tried to show me a video ad I just closed the app and uninstalled it. I should note I was being charitable due to coming to it via this site. It should be die, BAM! Start again immediately.

I didn't get to experience any of the power ups, because the furthest I got was, I think 14/15 pillars so I didn't find any. You might be thinking 'hah you obviously suck at this game', but I bet I did better than most people would on first coming to the game. If the pacing was better I might have stuck it out, but it was not to be.

The game looks great, the controls feel great. I can FEEL the spring in his jump it's really good. There is one huge problem. I die in this game every 10 seconds. You die over and over. This is fine. The problem is that it takes me waaaaay too long to respawn. I have to go through a couple menus and watch a few animations to get alive again. For every 1 second of gameplay I go through 10 seconds of menus. It's almost unplayable. You should do something about this ASAP. It's the difference between an unplayable game, and one of the best games on the App Store.

The graphics look nice tough I think they're too similar to many others on the market.
