I am so impressed that you created the music AND the art AND an awesome game in 48 hours! I would love to work with you on a future game jam if you ever want to add voice acting to a game or game trailer!
I love the graphics, but I didn't find the game addictive enough. you can maybe change that by breaking the linearity of the game. with that said , I found the game and the controls amusing. I really liked the harder version thought, maybe I am a masochist ; )
We have an updated and harder version of the game! (BUT don't use that to rate us! only play it if you liked this game and want some more challenge).
Here is the change log for the harder version:
You can no longer jump while looking to the left.
Above 2,000 score points, the enemy increases speed.
Above 2,000 score points, the enemy needs 2 shots to be stunned.
Every 2,000 score points, your stunned time (after bumping with objects) and the enemy speed increase a little (there's a limit! Can you guess it?).
For some reason I can't do any controls. I can click on buttons though
Really nice and fun game, I loved the graphics and design.
Thanks!
Fun little autorunner with great art and sound design, great submission!
Fun game, easy to pick and play! The graphics are nice and the visual effects fit to the game. :)
Thanks! I'll go ahead and try your game.
Interpretation of the theme was too obvious in my opinion. Disregarding that, I like everything else. Music, graphics, gameplay, all really polished.
Thanks a lot!
Hey, thank you ;) I'll go ahead and rate your game.
When you make a game about a boombox, you've got to get your music and sounds on point and you totally nailed it. Great job.
The game felt somewhat easy, I quit after reaching a score of 5000. I had plenty of cassette tapes and just pressed forward the whole time and at no point did I really feel like I was going to fail. Apart from that I had fun, I like the turning mechanic, didn't figure that one until my third try.
Thanks for playing and thanks for your feedback, we appreciated it!
I like the aesthetics of this one, and endless runners are always fun, but I didn't feel out of control at any point -- I think there were opportunities to take control away from the player or make the world feel more out of control.
Thanks for playing! As for the out of control part, you and the enemy are out of control from a narrative perspective, but also, when bumping with obstacles, you lose control, we actually nerfed the time you are out of actual control after bumping quite a few times, but we made it somewhat easy as a result.
Blazed one and played it for ages :)
Thanks! :D
Nice looking game, music is also really good. Idea is simple, but working. The game seemed really easy for me. I would appreciate if the game get harder over time (faster movement, limited number of times you can hit the obstacles).
Neverthless I had fun. Good job!
Thank for playing it! And yes, we cut some elements that would make it harder but didn't implement anything in its place, so we made it a lot easier without noticing it, oh well, the game jam pressure can get to everyone!
The back button on credits don't work, and dam... how many people are there:D
Well... its a simple endless runner. But I like the style I really wish there was more to it. I got 4000 points. The games seems to be very easy when You are in boost constantly.
But I really like the style and music, its awesome!
Thanks a lot! And yes, the game gets easier once you know how it works, we cut some gameplay elements that would make it harder, but didn't replace them with anything... so yeah, game jam pressure it's a thing!
great artstyle and music. it just feels so nice to play :D this game requires a level of coordiantion i definetly lack but that didnt make it less fun! good job!
Thanks a lot! I'll go ahead and check your game ;)
The game controls didn't seem to work
Sorry to hear that! What version of the game did you play?
I played the web version. Also, it seems the controls are working again. I don't know what the issue was, but it was on my end. Sorry about that!
No problem!
This game makes me go YES! Great music!
Thank you very much!
Cool music.
Thanks a lot! We have a very talented musician in the team!
The music and art are great, but I'd love to see the gameplay polished up a bit more! There's definitely something cool here though.
Yeah, we need ran out of time and cut some gameplay ideas, but we didn't replace them with anything, looking at it now, we could've implemented some simpler ideas, but oh the good ol' combo of pressure and not thinking nice and simple...
We've all been there! The list of things we wanted to fix before release on our game is a mile long lol
I JUST LOVE IT, AMAZING GAME
Thank you very much!
