Kirby Star Jump!

As part of my learning journey in JavaScript Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), I built a simply fun web browser game.

In this Kirby Star Jump!, you can guide Kirby as he jumps from star to star!

Play it here: https://angelbelroth.github.io/KirbyStarJump/

Let me know when you try it out — how many stars can your Kirby jump? ✨

N.B. Best experience on Chrome/Firefox at 1600×800 screen size or larger.

• Built with OOP-style JavaScript
• Comaptible with Chrome & Firefox
• Lightweight — no build step required
