I really like the song, especially the epic buildup partway through. I feel like there was a bit of a missed opportunity for vertical obstacles since the game allows vertical movement. The camera perspective makes it a little hard to see if you're going to make it through a gap near the sides. Having the camera follow the player might help this. Nice work

A nice, straightforward, no frills obstacle avoidance game. Great job!

Fun little endless runner! I was able to get to the end. Congrats on your first GWJ! Nice entry. :)

Developer

Thank you!

Is it endless if there's an end? ;)

Fun game and the cutscene was a nice touch. A little hard to see where you are in relation to obstacles though.

Thank you for playing! I didn't know how to properly move the camera with the player, but it will be something I improve on in future games.

Well Played. Liked the entry cutscene. I've noticed you didn't implement an obstacle that requires vertical movement, even though vertical movement already did exist. Perhaps it was a decision made due to hard visibility?

Developer

Thank you! That's a good point and nice suggestion. I added vertical movement because I wanted to give the freedom of control and make it feel like the player is really controlling the ship. I didn't think about it when making my environment.

Solid entry, music was a good fit. The environment was a bit uninteresting though nice work constructing it yourself, and it was difficult at times to tell exactly whether your starship was positioned correctly. It was fun though and I played until I beat it. I think it would have benefited from more use of the vertical plane, such as dodging over or under obstacles, and some better feedback on your position.

Developer

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words and feedback.

Great start. Nice, straightforward core-game loop is fun and easy to play.

Developer

Thank you!
