Very very fun concept, I would like if there was an additional theme ontop of the pacifist theme, but that's just me :).

Really enjoyed the speed aspect of the game. "Bolting" around the map felt fun and finding the collectibles felt rewarding.

I always find the "Honey I shrunk the Kids" style levels to be charming its a nice perspective that we don't get to experience IRL!

Great job :D

Really nice 3d controller, I loved the build up of speed and good it felt to run around the environment at max speed. Props to your level design skills, I found it genuinely interesting to navigate, and you did good job at rewarding / incentivising players to explore the different parts of the map. I did come across one bug which was I got stuck a state where I was flying, and if I pressed jump I was just float upwards. I managed to break myself out of it by finding somewhere to "run on", as that new grounded check seemed to kick the movement state machine back in to the right place.


Thanks for taking part in the game jam, I enjoyed checking out Run and Bolt!

This was pretty cool. Graphics were outstanding, the running up walls mechanic was interesting, being tiny was something I haven't seen in a game in a long time, and the platforming was good. I'm not a collect-a-thon type gamer, but this made me explore the entire room , which was really cool to explore. I seen the electrical outlet and thought "how cool would it be to climb in there and explore!" Games don't often open my imagination in that way. Kudos to you.

I rather enjoyed this one! Didn't know what to expect with just the cover photo of  the game, but once I got it loaded, oh boy I got nostalgic! It reminded me a lot of Toy Story 2 Buzz Lightyear: To the Rescue! Mainly because of the size difference between the player and the objects in the room! Honestly, I wish more games applied that sorta theme where everyday objects are larger than you:)

Anyhow, I collected all 4 purple knots, 123 white knots, and 7 golden knots! i thought I'd stop for a while since, hey, it's just a platformer. Then I saw ramps, and I knew I had to try it; I wasn't sure if it was gonna work, and it did! You made the player run up the walls and ramps! This is a type of movement in 3D games that I thoroughly enjoyed and wish were implemented more in a 3D environment instead of 2D!

The main player also looked really charming and fun to play with and reminded me a lot of Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet:) Overall, I really love this game! With some audio and levels, I bet it'd be really addicting! It was already fun enough to explore the whole level with the movement you gave the player! It was just the right speed, the right mechanics, and the perfect environment! If you keep the levels around the same theme and with some audio, I bet it'd be really fun to try over and over!

Thank you so much for the sweet comment, it honestly made me tear up. Thank you, I hope to come back to this project in the future and improve upon it. :)

Yeah I got the same nostalgia from this game. I didn't realize it was Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear though. Your comment made me realize that. What a terrific feeling nostalgia is!
