I love the title, game is exactly as described ;) The physics seems a bit bouncy which made it harder to control, but otherwise a great idea. Seems like something you could play with a friend. Good job!

Side note: Speeding off at incredible speed reminds me of Uniracers for SNES :D

Developer

Thanks for testing the game!

Submitted

The first thing I did was completely zoom of the map at mach 5, then miraculously land my back wheel on the flag so  I didn't lose. Absolute banger.

Hahaha I've been finding put these few days that many people can finish the levels pure luck, which brings my great pain after having taken so long to design the levels, but I'm glad you've had fun!

Submitted

The idea is very original and the game is fun, the controls are a bit sloppy tough

Developer

Thanks for trying the game!

agree that the physics were a bit...enthusiastic, still very cute. also the name of this game cracked my shit up! please never change it. 

Developer

Hahaha I agree that the physics seemed a little on drugs :) Thanks for testing the game!

Submitted

Cool concept and take on the theme !

The physic seems a little bit "exagereted" tho, as soon as you take a little ramp the weel go far away and it's kind of frustrating sometimes :p

Developer

Aight thanks for the feedback! I do believe the physics could be a little more balanced too but I put that aside for way too long and eventually didn't have the time to do so hehe

Submitted

Although the physics felt a bit buggy, it was really fun controlling the bike

Developer

Thanks for trying the game!

The premise of the two unicycles was just delightful — you could even consider making it a 2 player game. The visuals were also gorgeous. Favorite game played so far!

Developer

Actually, a two player game sounds pretty good, but I was thinking about the pandemic and... well yea 😛

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

As soon as I saw the title of this game I knew I had to play it and the game follows up on the comedic concept. It definitely is tough and the controls are super sensitive. I for sure won more than one level by just going really fast to the right and then joining back together right by the end. It also breaks your brain when they are on the wrong sides of each other. But overall great job with this submission!

Developer

Hm... yea I do believe it can be better polished and balanced if I had more time, thanks for testing my game! 

Submitted

A fun game! The physics seem to need some tweaking.

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

This game was fun, but the physics were super janky and it never felt like the unicycles were connected. (Also I love the name).

Developer

Hahahaha I came up with the name in a few minutes since I ran out of ideas for the random game :P

I guess I should have made the spring joints a little more stiff, the wheels were connected but somehow it didn't turn out to be much in the end. I'll be sure to improve on it, thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

it's very disjointing to control both ends at the same time, which wouldn't be a problem, except there appears to be no speed cap and the physics are... wonky is a good word. it's extremely easy to go too fast and go careening off the level, without so much as a chance to read the flavor text.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I'll be sure to improve on it!

Submitted

Cleared all three levels! Nice programmer art you have there.

I like the game idea itself, but I don't like how they move out of my screen constantly, and I can't see what is coming to me - sometimes I win the game accidently too! Even though two part of the bicycle are connected with a grey thick line, I don't feel like they are related at all, they have separated control and does not matter to the other.

This game is basically a bicycle.


Developer

Thanks for the feedback! The two wheels are comnected by a spring joint and the line is basically rendered to show that its there, (and for aesthetic purposes :P) but maybe in the future I could make the connection a little more physically obvious. Sometimes the levels are completed randomly when one of the wheels just hit the flag by accident... I guess I could make it harder by preventing the fluke with more deathzones hahaha

I've actually also wanted to make the camera zoom out when the bike exits the frame but I couldn't find a solution in time, but I'll definitely improve it after the jam period ends.

Really appreciate the feedback!

This is so awesome, that tough to control sloppy movement is so challenging, Great job

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! The controls are sort of sloppy and purpose - (I believe you mean the extra give where the wheels continue rolling after leaving the keyboard) it was sort of to give an additional, harder obstacle for people to encounter else it might be too easy :)

I'll be sure to improve on it though, thanks for testing the game!

Submitted

I did not mean the controls need improvement, it was really fun

Submitted

Had a lot of fun with it, I loved the Trials games back on Xbox and this felt like a fun, goofy version.

Developer

Thanks for trying my game out, I appreciate it! You actually did pretty well in the game, some people who tried it told me that it was pretty tricky :P

Submitted

Fantastic game, the stretching of the feels definitely got me laughing for some reason. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! 

Submitted

Haha the name and idea are fantastic! The physics are definitely hard to maneuver around could have been an excellent entry for last years jam "Out of Control" XD  It's a good time, well done!

Developer

Yep the controls take a little more time to master and definitely tricky to work (even in my opinion). Thanks for playing my game! 

Submitted

I love the name.  The game is a lot of fun, but the physics gets a LITTLE crazy and you go flying really quickly, still I managed to beat the game by just flinging myself at the goal each time.  Really love the chill music. Fantastic work on this one!

Developer

Thanks for trying out my game!

Submitted

Quite hard to get around but entertaining

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I suppose its sort of intended to be hard to get around  as I've already cut many corners for this version due to playtesters complaining about its difficulty... (was intended to be much harder) 😅 But everything definitely completable and thanks for trying my gane out!

Submitted

Quite buggy but there is a really good game buried here somewhere

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Honestly it just needs to be played a little more slowly, the game isn't intended at accomodating to high speed action or everything goes a little wonky, but I'll keep it in mind, thanks!
