Can't wait to see Dunkey rage at this.

Not sure if it was your intention, but I liked the twist that the power ups hurt more than they helped. It definitely made the game quite a bit more stressful.

Here's a vod of me playing your game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2373375091?t=00h17m02s

Dude you got so far!

Thank you so much for playing. I did intentionally make the power ups kinda suck. If I'd had more time I would have put in more specific sections that required them like the jump/rocket section.

never have i ever been so scared of super mario kart power ups, but you did it. I fell at the radio tower (on top of a garbage bin, truly level design of all time) and broke my monitor. Maybe the real power was the electricity bills my gpu generated along the way! P.S. my game has a garbage bin too

I wanted to try making a race to the top 3D game, this is inspiring, funny and difficult lol

I like that the power ups were kind of a bad thing lol

I didn't have the patience to get very far but I appreciate the silliness on display, very nice. Reminds me of the sort of thing me and buddies would make for each other in Forge World lol

I forgive you, Matt. But I won't forgive you for making me bounce off that misshaped obstacle course!
Just kidding, this was actually fun, I had a good chuckle at how silly this game was, those power-ups sure lived up to their name. Thanks for being a silly person, Matt,

Best regards, Magnaremora.

I do hope you got to see the horse

It... it was a nice horse, and I enjoyed the view too. Thank you.

The powerups are kinda sick in this type of game.  Gives the ability to do cool stuff with them while being mostly difficult to use lol.  The golf powerup reminds me of What The Golf! and I really liked it even though I hit myself off every time.

This combo works really well, the powerups do a good job offsetting the powerlessness one feels with this type of games. Some tighter controls and this could be a really cool game!

tall power was my favorite

It's high up on my list too.

Honestly close to being a pretty fun rage game, but has a few huge control issues. The character moves very slow, so the initial approach and resetting to base takes an uncomfortable amount of time. In addition, their is almost no directional control while running, and no directional control at all that I can see while in the air. This makes the best strategy to almost always avoid power ups, as some powers like Jump Power are instantly going to reset your run. Powers are almost all negative, your best bet is to hope for a few lukcy rockets and get out of the game quickly. I did not finish, I accidently got an invisible power near the end and instead of waiting it out I tried to play while invisible. Not ideal that most powers are negative.
