Brooklyn the Jumpy Boy
Keep Brooklyn alive by placing platforms and climbing on them as the screen constantly scrolls up. Avoid deadly sawblades and collect coins along the way.
WASD or Arrow Keys to move.
W, Up, or Space to jump.
Left-click to place platforms,
Note: if you cannot move Brooklyn, reload the page. Sometimes he can't be controlled on the first page load.
Built in 4 hours for Trijam #171 using ct.js with built-in assets. (except for blocks, platforms, and room background, which were designed by me during the jam period.)

This was very fun! I feel like the gameplay integrated the theme well by having to continuously go up steps while avoiding hitting the bottom of the screen or falling off. I really like the idea of controlling some of the environment and then interacting with it as a concept in general. And the coins add a strategy aspect to putting down stuff to jump on. Cute character too. It would be cool to see some audio added, or maybe fixing the bugs for the platform-placing you mentioned since I had the same problem as the other commenter. Great job.
Cute character :) I kept locking myself with the platform making it a little too difficult for me to enjoy. I blame my slow fingers. It would be nice when the platform and Brooklyn overlapped he shifted to the top of the platform rather than being stuck. However, for three hours, this is a good effort :)
Thanks! I had implemented a system where it wouldn't let you place a platform on Brooklyn but it had some bugs I couldn't work out in time so I disabled it for now.
