Really fun and simple game. I am amazed by the 3d feel. Great job on the art.

Developer

Thanks you so much, really means a lot !

Like the simple mechanic of going just a bit faster and getting a better time if moving on the slide in the right way and angle. The art looks great and the vibe is really cool, nice job on it!

Fun little slide! Using the background to show how far you were was a nice touch. I like the sprites and the feet sliding around cracked me up. I think it'd be really cool with some stereo sound effects at the turns. Whooooosh. Somehow I did way better when I tried to launch myself off the side the whole time.  Neat experience but I was a bit disappointed I couldn't slide out or fail horrendously, but I guess slides are designed that way. I could see this being a lot of fun in a collection of 'extreme' sports mini-games. Nice work!

Developer

You have no clue how close to my original idea you just got. I wanted to make player able to get out of the tube, wanted to have swoosh, perfect timing for start and few more, and also an online leaderboard :D But I had to fake a lot of stuff as I had way less time then I though I would have. Thanks a lot for playing and for nice feedback!

never seen a tunnel sliding game before, very original and genius innovative interpretation of the theme

Developer

The inspiration comes from the Winter Challenge from 1991 for DOS :D I had this idea for a water slide game in my mind for about 2-3 years, now was the right moment to try to do it ... I would love to make it better, but I had very limited time during the jam so I had to make it very simple... maybe one day, I'll revisit the idea and make it in more proper way :) But thanks a lot for playing and such a nice words! Means a lot

Hey, glad you had fun! Thx

Great pixel art, loved the background moving down as the time went on. Fun idea, would deserve a bit more feedback when gaining speed. Managed to do it in under 41 seconds hehe. Congratulations!

Developer

It deserves so much more care, so you are totally right. This is what I was capable of doing in quite limited time unfortunatelly. Thanks for playing!

I am in love with the title screen. Those characters are adorable! Great art in this game, I'm very impressed! I can't seem to beat my first run time of 41.019 haha, fun to play. 

(My team also made a game, but it isn't in the jam because of a submission error, but I would be eternally grateful if you checked out Hive Dive, and left a comment. Sorry for putting this here 😅)

Fun game concept! Perspective was very unique and I enjoyed the art style. Would be awesome to see more games like this. Only nitpick is I wasn't sure which way I should lean, if that would improve my speed or not. Maybe I needed to replay it more to understand the mechanics.

Developer

that is fair... I have added a basic sketch of how the curves work in a terms where you should try to move, but I know that once this is not directly in the game with some instructions, people don't usually find that... me included :D Really thanks a lot for nice feedback and your time spending with my little game!
