A great idea and a great execution .

Well done ! Your game is very polished , and It has a lot of potential to be a perfect mobile game .

Developer

Thank you! I do have mobile game plans - watch this space :D

I really liked it! Everything is so great! Music, design, idea. And the level itself is quite interesting! Great job! I enjoyed it

Developer

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

I am truly horrible at this game. But I keep coming back to play it because I think the concept and design are really clever. This is simple, clean, challenging - basically, good job. 

My only complaint is that it took me a while to figure out how the "gravity" works (ie what to do to get to the next platform without dying), although that is probably more indicative of how bad I am at the game.

Developer(+1)

Truly horrible but keep coming back? I can't complain with that! Yeah, it's sort of a learning experience to start with - and once you've got eh hang of that, you can then tackle the survival. Thanks for playing (multiple times!)

Not the most orginal concept ever, but damn, that's so perfectly executed!
I can't believe you had time to make it so polished . It's impressive. I wish I could reach that level of quality myself, but I guess I'll need more XP. ^^

Developer

I often over-scope with jams so I decided to make some changes for this one - a minimalist graphical style and a simple base mechanic - to allow me to focus on polish and game feel. It went much more smoothly than my previous jams because of that haha. It just takes some practice - which is exactly what these jams are for. You improve and learn something new every time. Thanks a lot for playing!

Very well done work. I think this fits very well for a mobile game. I had some difficult to see while playing. Maybe a background a little more dark, but I'm not the best to qualify this. 

Developer

I tried to balance the background and ui to be dark enough to show the foreground but not so dark to make it feel very 'sharp'. If the background was much darker then it started making the bright white of the game feel very jarring. But  - maybe an option to increase/decrease it yourself might have been a good idea? Then you could fine tune it to whatever suits you,  the player. Thanks too - I am planning a mobile release actually!

Looks great! Loved the points and lives being displayed in the background, good job!

Developer

Cheers! I tried to keep a clean feel to the game - which meant not having any real hud/ui stuff. So I stuck it in the background :D

Submitted(+1)

Fantastic game! I loved almost everything about it, but it was pretty frusterating when I died. Great game though!

Developer

Thank you! Yeah it is frustrating when you die, especially if you've got quite far - but that's a good thing I think, means you're invested in the game! And nobody likes losing after all :D Thanks again!

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, this is fantastic, would play it on phone for sure. I also have a button game for the game, would love to hear your feedback. Awesome job!

Developer

Thank you! I do have plans to release it on mobile (after doing a complete rebuild so it's not a horrible spaghetti code mess and add all the features I wanted to add but ran out of time to do).

Submitted

Nice! Haha, yeah spaghetti code. Good luck!

Submitted(+1)

I can see myself playing this on my phone. Really challenging.

Developer (1 edit)

Cheers! Mobile release is on the cards - once I've rebuilt the entire game so it's not jam code (and has all the extra things I didn't have time for)  :D Shouldn't be too long hopefully!

Nice idea for endless runner. Already suitable for mobile. Good luck with this one!

Developer

Thank you, I wanted to do something a bit more than a standard endless runner - but without going to complicated. Mobile release is coming! Good luck with yours too!

Submitted(+1)

Soooooooooo smooooth! The visuals, the sound, the animations everything is super polished, love it!
Very hard game, haven't got far but I liked what I experienced. It definitely requires a different mindset than other one-button endless runners. One thing I didn't like is the UI. It's an interesting concept to have the info shown in the background but sometimes I got killed because I accidentally shifted focus from the foreground to the background. Peeking over into one of the corners takes more effort and thus rarely happen accidentally (at least to me).
The controls (as much as it has) are very responsive and the variety of level elements are really testing how well you can shift gravity in your head. Very well though out and created platforms there!
I liked it ^-^

Developer

Thank you ever so much! Sorry you didn't like the UI - it was actually a design choice to try and keep the game 'clean' (without a hud etc taking up screen space). Maybe it's something I could make toggle-able in the mobile release. The gravity seems to be the biggest problem people have - once you get your head around that then it's not too bad. Been enjoying watching people flip right at the end of a platform and fall off because their natural reflexes took over haha. Cheers again!

Probably not the most original game, but very polished and well-executed!

Really nice concept and art style, it would definitely make a good mobile game.

Submitted(+1)

This is such a pretty game! I could honestly play this for quite a while! Especially as a fun app game. This would drain my phone battery so fast from all the play it would get! Great game! I hope to see it expanded some day!

Submitted(+1)

Very polished game!! But the difficulty is too high, maybe add it gradually. The music and sound effects are perfect!

Submitted(+1)

It's fluid and punchy, really fun to play. I really like the visuals :D

Submitted(+1)

Very fun and crunchy, but maybe a bit too immediately difficult?

Submitted(+1)

This game is great, I am always so impressed by the visual work people are able to put into a game during a jam. It's a well designed game with everything it needs to work properly, which is not an easy feat. I am not as much in love with the music, but that's not what the jam is about. 

Amazing work overall!

Love the graphic style and movement, quite challenging but fun to play!

Tough as nails, but quite polished and even online leaderboards! I like it.
