One button games always are cool to me! It really got challenging! Cool idea!

The concept of the game is pretty cool! Maybe I was doing something wrong, but the first level seemed to appear twice in succession, which is a bit confusing. Maybe it was done to stretch play time, but it gives off the feeling that you did something wrong and are forced to repeat the level because of that

The second level introduces the 5 point random effect item (3rd and 6th from left to right on level 2), unfortunately the items are the same colour and a bit too small to tell apart though which is why the first and second level look repeated.

Thanks for the feedback though!

the graphics were great and the premise of the game was very interesting. However, the movement was buggy as EdMieEzTi said, it just kept moving forward, so I only managed to get a score of 11. I would have also preferred that you would use your own asset next time. Besides all that, a great performance!

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah I noticed a bug (a bit too late) with the movement that seems to only appear on level 3 with the movement. Hoping to keep working on this and fix that.

Also I had loads of pre-made assets (I'm not really a great artist so wouldn't have been able to make anything decent myself) but didn't have time to add it in.

Thanks again!

If you collect stars, you may get a temporary "out of control" effect where your controls get reversed (so not pressing space will make you run and pressing space will make you jump). I did notice a bug (a bit too late) with the movement that seems to only appear on level 3 where you move straight away without collecting anything though. Hoping to keep working on this and fix that.
