Awesome game!
Cool character and controls!
The game is really good, but I think it’s a platformer, not a runner xD. As I understand it, the game was made using Godot. If you want to make the text smaller, increase its font size and add a Label as a child node to Node2D, then change the size of Node2D. This way, the text will remain pixelated and won't blur like in the screenshot below![]()
ahahah yeah well we tried our best in the given time frame, I'm pretty happy with it overall, thanks for the feedback, appreciate it
fun! I wish I had known water pickups didn’t respawn but it makes it interesting for route planning I guess. The camera movement while jumping up in the grey cave-y sections was really way too snappy vertically, gave me some motion sickness which I’m not that sensitive too typically. Felt like maybe jumping all the time was better for speed? It’s nice when a game makes it plainly obvious whether or not that’s true - it felt really great blitzing up the hills by jumping a bunch though!
Yeah it's intentional, with multiple routes so that you have to balance route selection with water management, in a full fledged game there would be a mini tutorial that'd explain that water bottles are limited, and thanks for the feedback on the camera, I was playing around with it a lot and wanted it so that when you're falling you can see the platform underneath you, but I think I agree that I should've just smoothed it out and let people fall and fail ahahah, the movement, I got it working so it felt right, and stopped at there ahaha, thanks so much for the feedback, glad you enjoyed!
Cool environment, great artwork, sounds are spot on, and the flatter stretches of the levels feel great. Some of the platforming sections art a bit tricky with the way the camera and shark move, especially when you run out of water. I think if you reset the water bottles each lap, or had fountains at the bottom of the platforming sections, the player would find it much easier to complete the race in a good time. A lot of cool ideas and a great game!
Thank you mate, the limited water bottles are intentional as part of the decision process, if you had unlimited water it'd be pointless to platform altogether if you could just fly around all the time, it was a delicate balance but was happy with how it turned out.
nice parallax you have there
nice music as well, beach vibes
the characters are also cool look at this guy
btw if you run completely out of water in the beginning because you thought it was too cool and wasted it all pretty much you are doomed lol
Thanks mate, we made it with a lot of love, so glad you appreciate everything from the art to the sounds and to the gameplay as well, and yes, water bottles don't grow on tree's! ;)
Really nice animation! The game really reminded me of SpeedRunners, such a throwback!
Yeah this was heavily inspired by Speedrunners with the aqua twist, glad you enjoyed!
the game is very cool!
Thank you mate!
Love the animations of the shark, it's pretty well done, and satisfying. This game as many games I've seen on this jam, gives me a feeling of Miniclip games I used to play when I was a child and enjoyed a lot. Nice work!
Appreciate the feedback, glad you had a good time and brought you back to some nostalgia too, thanks a bunch!
Really fun! and good job with the art!
Thanks and thanks! Glad you enjoyed :)
This is our 2nd Game Jam that we've done so relatively new to making games, but pretty happy with how this turned out, there is a known bug that when you hit the "Restart" button during the game it will force you to do 4 laps instead of 3 laps, if you're going for a best time just restart the browser so you can play it properly (can't update it due to submission uploads being paused while the voting period is commencing) - hope you guys and enjoy and maybe you'll even find the secret path that'll help you get a faster time ;) - My best time is 2mins 32 seconds <3
Very good game! Great art and gameplay. I really liked this game.
thanks mate, lots of love went into it glad you enjoyed 💫
Fun gameplay and great pixel art! I love using the jetpack. Nice job!
thank you! Glad you enjoyed 😚
big fan of the pixel art here - it all looks really good!!
Freggie would be really happy to hear that, thanks! 💖✨
Great work! the game looks decent for your first time doing pixel art! I like the sense of speed alot, its fun to play! I think the route could be a bit more obvious, i kept going the wrong direction/ being uncertain if i was still on the track, but maybe thats just me.
Really cool game! had a fun time playing it
Well that’s because there are multiple routes and also a hidden secret, it’s part of the speedrun finding out which path is the quickest 😉🫶🏻
Was my first time doing pixel art so this was a challenge. My best time was 2:44:030
