It took me a moment to get the hang of the physics, and some of the jumps stumped me at first, but once I figured everything out, trying to get the best possible time proved to be an absolute blast! Amazing game!

Submitted

Great game! Had to figure out that I shouldn’t press to move right and just let it slide from the slopes to get higher speeds.

Submitted

This may be not the best platformer on this jam but imo the best executed I played. Very nice, almost gave up;p

Submitted

This is quite fun.  The music is also great.  I just wish the screen was a bit wider to give the player a little bit more room to see what's ahead.  Excellent job.

Unfortunately PICO-8 is stuck with its 128x128 resolution so the best thing I could do is snuggle the player right up with the edge of the camera. Glad you enjoyed it though.

Submitted

This is so catchy!! Great game, I love pico 8 games, this is so cool! I don't fully get the adherence to the theme but it's really cool anyway. Great job! 

Submitted

This is such a fun little game! I really enjoyed it. Cute as a button, too!

Submitted

Took me a bit to get used to the controls but once I did I was off! Loved zooming around the levels!

Submitted

I really like how the mechanics play with the players momentum. Presentation was on point as well, great entry!

Submitted

Cool presentation and mechanics. I wish there was more focus on repeating levels to get better times rather than planing new levels. I never got to feel like I had learned a course and gotten better at particular jumps/areas. Great job!

I've got a few comments about that so in a post-jam update I'll include options to try again or move on after you complete a stage.

Submitted

This was pretty fun! dont know how the dev reached 5 seconds on so many levels but really fun!

Submitted

Yay for pico 8! :) The sprite of the character is so cute!

Submitted

Aw man, really adorable runner. The lack of friction mechanic is also very interesting and just challenging enough to keep me wanting more. Hats off to you good sir. 

Submitted

This game is fantastically satisfying to play, but holy crap that difficulty ramps up fast :D Love that you added controller support! Great work!

Developer

Lexaloffle is the one to thank here, cause I never wrote anything for controller support, PICO-8 handled that for me without me even knowing!

Submitted

I found the camera angle change button a bit confusing/never really got the hang of how to use it. Other than that, So so cute! LOVE the graphics, music, sound FX. Very satisfying when you get a good run in hehe

Submitted

Super polished and fun game. Nice touch putting in your times (they are amazing). You probably have the record for the fastest speed run :)

Developer

And there are even some times I improved after the jam ;)

Submitted

Nice game! I loved the visuals too. And there is no way I could beat your records hahaha

Cool, cute and challenging 

Submitted

This is fun! Being able to replay a level would be a nice addition.

Developer

Hold X on the title screen, and press up/down :) 

You can also press Ctrl + R (or Enter -> Reset Cart) anywhere to reset the game to the title screen.

Submitted

Lovely game; Makes me remember tiny birds!

Love it! Really well polished for a jam game. The controls are a little bit hard to get used to though, I think it would be much easier to learn and still make sense if pressing down made you go faster on a downward slope.
