Cool idea with getting stronger after dying, much like my game but in a completely different genre. I was hoping the car would control more like a car when I saw the screenshots but it's fine the way it is as well. I would have liked a power up that lets you blow up cars in the way.
Good start and well done.
Thanks for your feedback!
The intro was a little too long, I thought the game was broken.
Otherwise, quite fun, would have like to be eased into a bit better, start easy to get the hang of the controls and special abilities.
Yeah I've had some complaints about the intro already and I agree that it could definitely use some improvement. Thank you for your feedback!
Good job. Fun little game. Great take on the theme. Enjoyed playing.
Thanks!
Solid intro! And I really like the decent selection of upgrades you have on death. My favourite moment in the game was pushing through walls while using the blue dash ability. It feels really impactful and has a great force behind it. Very well done!
Thanks! I tried to make the dash ability pretty polished so I'm glad it turned out well.
Really awesome to see, You had similar ideas for mechanics in a very different style game to what I did and I wanted to implement those mechanics, but you implemented them much much better them my self.
Very good, its fun to play, its fun to learn, it plays extremely well. congrats.
Thank you!
Excellent job all around! All your mechanics are well thought out and well-executed.
Thanks!
I love the intro! Was nice to see you flesh out the beginning and put the controls in there at the start. The gameplay was challenging but really fun. A good set of upgrades to help you get through the levels. Really great job!
Thank you!
Nice game. It is well implemented but very hard. The random generator got me good by blocking all three lanes at the same time on first go. SPLAT! I was dead. I enjoyed playing it and the power up / abilities were a good touch. I think this is a good little game.
Feedback: I also did not understand that I was in a cutscene at first and was thinking the game was broken until the ghost popped out, that is when it dawned on me. You may want to bring in some letter boxing or a vignette to make it feel like the player is watching something instead of expecting to interact with it.
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I encountered some of the three-lane blocking in development but didn't have enough time to fix it before the deadline.
Congrats on completing the jam! I loved the darkness. As other commenters said, it took a little bit for me to realize that there was a cutscene to start but it was smooth sailing after that.
Thanks!
Nice! This was really fun. The abilities were cool, and enough of a challenge/learning curve on when to activate them. I think the way you had text and explanation when we first see the ghost should be extended to the beginning with the car driving so it's clear it's a cut scene. Overall the opening sequences seemed to just kind of hang, where i wasn't sure what was happening. Gameplay was top notch! Full marks!
Thank you for your feedback! Yeah, I think next time I make a cutscene I'll make sure there's an indicator of some sort.
This was a nice little game. I liked the cutscene in the beginning and I really liked how your abilities actually say what they do. The gameplay itself felt really responsive, so whenever I died I knew it was my own error and not something janky with the game. Great work!
Thank you so much!
Didn't realise the beginning was a cut scene! But was fun once it got into the game, nice work! :)
Thanks!
I didn't know it was an intro cutscene in the beginning, so maybe black bars in the bottom and top would be helpful. I thought the controls weren't working. But other than that cool game :)
Yeah that's a good idea. Thanks for your feedback!
That was fun. I really like the intro and the game overall.
Keep it up!
Thank you!
Nice submission! I enjoyed the visuals and sfx for the game. Gameplay was neat as well.
Thanks!
Liked the intro and story was a little tricky for me but I could see you put lots into this :)
Thanks!
Great job! loved the visual cues you get before a red car came. It really conditioned my brain to avoid it. A little difficult to understand the controls that are described in-game. But you got some real depth in the game. Very impressive!
Thanks! Yeah, the controls are a bit hard to understand. Sorry about that.
Love the intro Cut Scene really pulls you into the game more.
Thank you!
Cool game.
But I couldn't dash through cars :o
Interesting idea, I had a bit of trouble figuring out the controls however.
Great artwork
Thanks! Yeah the control instructions are a bit confusing. I just edited the description to include the controls. Sorry about that.
