Jumping has never been so tactical and treacherous. Hop along the smartest route to collect the most points before your opponents stamped the whole brushland to dust.

If you didn’t add rules on the paper itself—or just want more clarification—read the short playful rules.
You can also generate boards on this website. This allows you to customize it to your liking. And, in the rare case you’ve played through all existing boards, to get new ones to play with!
I’ve used the fonts Mail Ray Stuff (headings, thick) and Poppins (body, thin). The latter is freely available on Google Fonts, the first was received from 1001fonts.
Idea, rules, code and assets are completely mine. A generative AI was used for some parts, especially the animals, though parts were edited or redrawn by me. (If you ask the AI to create a Wolf Spider for example, a common animal in Australia, it just blends a Wolf and a Spider … while getting the number of legs wrong. Every time.)
This idea started when I woke up one morning and had this pressing thought about a kangaroo game. By the time I got downstairs and could write it down, it had already evolved into a simple but powerful mechanic that could sustain a whole game.
This might be the simplest One Paper Game I ever made, while having a lot of depth and a theme that makes total sense.
That was a good morning. In the screenshots you can see a quick image (from my cheap phone) of one early test game we played. As usual, my players stubbornly insisted on complicated icons and aggressively crossing out squares from opponents who just blocked their move ;) Otherwise, this is fairly representative of what a finished game looks like.

You can hire me! Maybe you need a special board game or video game for a birthday or educational purpose? I'm also open to inquiries about physically publishing my games. I am a registered freelance artist from the Netherlands and you can contact me professionally through my portfolio.
If unsure, visit my Online Store. It contains everything I ever made. Though it focuses on playful education and activities for children/family, first and foremost.
Another great way to support me is to simply let me know what you think! Mail me at harmonize@pandaqi.com with any feedback.
Alternatives would be to buy my paid work (a win-win situation!) or to donate through the most popular channels (see buttons below).
