Obbie, but he jumps high

Obbie isn't just any platformer hero; he possesses a jump that defies gravity, sending him soaring skyward. Your task is to guide him through a vertical maze of platforms, some steady and some that shift beneath your feet, all while avoiding the sting of waiting spikes. It's a test of precision and timing, where one mistimed hop can send you tumbling back down. As you scale the heights, you'll find coins scattered along the path, tempting you to take risks for a better score. The core loop is deceptively simple: a single press to jump, but the mastery lies in how you control the height and trajectory of each leap. This creates a hypnotic, skill-driven challenge that's easy to pick up yet hard to put down, offering a fresh, ever-changing climb with every attempt.
