The idea sounds good but the background randomly zooms out, the player doesn't take damage, and the movement is difficult so its hard to have fun

I couldn't get my head round this at all, bouncing and flipping all over the place, with little coherence to the motion of the obstacles. Maybe having full control of the angle is too  much to keep track of while moving rapidly in different directions. It might do better if the first bit of the game had fewer obstacles to give players a chance to do some simple jumping and get used to the controls before you hit players with the halfpipes and switchbacks.

I struggled to play without getting stuck but the idea is good. Not bad at all ;)

Definitely needs a little polishing, but I like the idea here. It's fun to fly around at blistering speeds. The controls felt sort of awkward, though, and I felt like I didn't really have any control over where I went once I started boosting.

Nyooom! faster faster faster! Who doesn't want to fly through the air as a cat on a hoverboard???

I really like your choice of art and music! The idea seems interesting, but it's really hard to control. It is fun to go super fast with the boost though.

Also, you can get really high by just just spamming jump Lol

The cat yeeted himself 900m in the air when I pressed boost. I don't think thats intentional but it was fun and thats what games are all about. Good effort!

When it works and you get to start flying trough the level movement feels good. Sadly, it is easy to break the game and float into  the void.

It broke on me and I just ended up floating wherever.  But I did like the cat.

Cool idea but controls are bit hard to use. Also this cat is cute ;3

Controls are difficult to understand but you can get some pretty satisfying moments one you get the hang of it.

I did not understand that ground is deadly at first, but had fun flying aground even if movement feels a little chaotic at times

Bit hard to control, and I think I fell through the lava? The cat's cute though.
