Super fun little speed runner! are the stats at the end actually other people that played? 

There were only a few audio glitches here at the end, when the stars come up it sounds a bit to loud or like the sound is repeating more then it should. something to look into.

also nice use of multiple music tracks to keep the game intresting!

Is there suppose to be a start screen? i was thrown right into the game without any directions on what to do. Maybe for future games just have a start screen, basic control screen then continue to the game.

overall great concept, nice use of colors and super fun!

Developer

Hey, thanks so much for playing! Yes they are, it's an online leaderboard. 

Thanks, I'll look into that, it seems to be better on download. Glad you enjoyed the musics :).

There will be a start screen, but it was low prio for the limited time I had on this.

Thanks for your feedback :D!

The physics were a ton of fun and this visuals are great! I found that some palettes were more "readable" than others, in terms of being able to see the terrain, but having the choice to swap was great

Developer

Thanks very much for playing! Glad you liked it :) I'd love to hear some of your prefered palette choices if you can remember them.

I rather liked supergb and gold(en?)gb!

Interesting lighting effects. Although the screen went pretty dark when I was jumping on the small platforms, the environment felt very dynamic. Solid game!

Developer

Thanks very much, I'm most pleased with that aspect of it. Hehe, don't take big leaps in the dark! :D. Thanks very much for playing, yours is super awesome too! :)

woah, a plus on the visuals. Reminded me of an advanced form of the Donkey Kong Country visuals. Love the physics too, and jumping felt good! Great job!

Developer

Thansk for your feedback Ben, that's really awesome to hear ^_^! Yours is awesome too!

I loved the ascending light effect! I just couldn’t enjoy much since I had to run really fast to the finish line hahahaha

the palette change worked nice as well. Congrats for the game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks, I was pleased with that too. Sometimes it's just nice to hang out and forget about the clock. Nice to have options :). Thanks, yours was really cool too :)

Wow, this game is beautiful!

Developer

Thanks so much! That means a lot to me. A fellow Godot user I believe? Yours was cool too :)

Developer

Hey, this looks absolutely amazing. I didn't manage to finish it because I got stuck between two physics objects and couldn't get out, but visually it is stunning.

Developer

Those pesky physics! Glad you enjoyed it up to that point :D

Beautiful game and nice character!! I would definitely play more levels. Congratulations!

Developer(+2)

Thanks so much for playing, your character is really cool too! I will have to get busy making levels when this is over then :D

It was a lot of fun and the shading was really ambitious. Great game overall with a nice leaderboard for replay value.

Developer(+1)

Hopefully, by "ambitious" you meant I pulled it off :P. Thanks for playing!

Visually this game was wild! I did have some trouble figuring out how to play and what to do, but other than that, this is a nice submission!

Developer

Thanks for your comment yours is really awesome :)

Some of the obstacles get stuck and completely get in the way, but the leader board is a great addition that made me want to keep trying, great game, well done!

Developer(+1)

Hi R-Doman, you're telling me: some of the obstacles were getting in your way - How dare they? >.< ...I think that's some physics "unluck". Glad you kept trying though & thanks so much for playing :D !

Submitted(+1)

Beautiful animation and lighting effects! A very polished end to end game with good physics, good challenge, and great graphics. I only wish it was a bit longer and perhaps with more interesting platforming mechanics.

Developer

Thank you! Really appreciate your comment. I wish I had more time to add those things in, it will definitely happen. Thanks for playing Zuqini! :D

This is perfect for speedrunners haha, it's been fun. with longer levels it'd be really nice (of course the level length is still ok for a jam, plus you can play it again to beat your record)

Developer(+1)

That means a lot - thanks so much! I definitely want to add more levels in in the future . Thanks for playing ^_^

This was really pretty to look at and the music was catchy, a bit clunky to control though. Could just be my macbook.

Developer

Glad you appreciated & Thanks for your feedback, I'll look into that :)

I love this nice, short, and wild physics based scramble to the checkpoint!

Developer

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it :)
