Omg I'm sorry to hear you were playing on hard mode!! If only I got that title screen in the game before the jam ended, ahh..
I'm glad you're having fun and enjoying the collage of trash that I turned into a level! It made me so happy to see a section referred to as "the Perfect Man area." That jump is the start of what I would consider to be the final challenge of the game as the difficulty ramps up significantly.
My tip for you is this: Try launching from a corner. Corners allow you to get a good mix of horizontal and vertical speed from the blast. Good luck!
