The game feels and looks nice, at no point did I not know what was going on or was overwhelmed with what's on screen and it does fit the theme to a tea! I have to say that I have played many similar games during this jam, but this one is on the higher end of that spectrum! Good job!

Lookes great, it's pretty similar to other auto-runners, though i did like the gravity flipping mechanics

Really cool game, the art is awesome too. Keep up the great work!

So cool! I think that you have to made your game more easy in the first steps in the game, but above that it's fun to play and very well made! The "out of control" curse that I found are very clever and challenging.

The combination of autoscrolling and independent WASD movement does not "feel" good -- makes the basic controls a really steep learning curve right off the bat. There's some real potential, though.

Thanks for the comment. The game is intended to be played with the  arrow keys rather than WASD.
In retrospect, should have disabled WASD movement
