Trampolines? Wait... does this mean that...?

Come to think of it, trampolines are made for jumping.

And there is a series of badges for jumping a lot.

So, are trampo-jumps counted as badgey progress?

  • I suspect any jumping counts  :D

  • I'll let you know in about 25 hours (if my math is right...).

    My only "problem" is that I currently only miss the last jumping badge, so I need to do about 9.500 jumps to know. If someone with a lesser requirement is willing to test my theory too, he/she will probably get an answer much sooner than me.

    (Oh, and by the way, TS... if I am right please don't nerf this before allowing me to get some reward for my insight... come on, be nice, guys... ;)  )

  • The last badge is 111,111 not 11,111

  • I would doubt that the trampoline tossing you up into the air counts as a jump. I think it only counts if you actually jump / use the space bar. The "trampolines" are really more like little rainbow potions - you don't have to jump to go flying up.

  • I don't think they do count, because you can jump (and triple jump) on the trampolines to get higher

  • Oh well. 95K bounces are just about 40 hours of trampolining (30 now)... nothing I can't test while using the time to do some actual work for a change.

  • So they do? Yaaaay! :D

  • We don't know if they do or not. I suspect they don't as you can jump on them (with the spacebar) to go higher than just landing on them

  • I doubt it as well, but it is also true that the easiest way to implement trampolines for a game designer would be "when character steps there, perform a jump routine" (which is somewhat corroborated by the "occasional triple jump" behavior of the trampolines). In any way, it is just a matter of waiting a bit, and see what happens.
    Again, if there is someone who still has to gain the lesser jumping badges willing to do the same test in a shorter time, I have nothing to object (also because after 18 hours of continuous bouncing my glitch is feeling a little queasy...)

  • but you can jump on it whilst bouncing, so they would have had to build a jump on top of another jump.   There is already some sort of bounce functionality - e.g. Toxic Moon, Rainbow Juice.  Neither of those count as jumps.

  • I wish I could see my jump count..

  • All right. So, after an extensive and nausea-inducing testing, I can finally confirm that...

    ...trampoline jumping doesn't count for jumping badges.

    Bummer.

    (And this is why you can see me bouncing around)
