I always enjoy these biking games and the 'keeping a connection till the download is finished' mechanic was a nice innovation. The last levels felt unfair until I realized I needed to finish the download and get there by the time limit, they were still difficult but also rewarding, so I enjoyed them! Nice work!

DARK WORLDThe idea and the implementation are so great i loved the game
Great job!

Plug AdventuresThe game looks good and is fun to play. A cool concept that works well for the theme. The tracks reminded me of excite bike while the bike physics felt like a trials game.

Connected BeatPretty whacky idea, risking his life for internet haha. Nice unique use of theme as well! I like the graphics and level varieties. Couldn't pass the third stage though. As for the physics, they felt fair and almost realistic. I kept doing wheelies when it comes to slopes, and I was very happy that double spins was even possible, which felt amazing!
Aside from that, maybe turn down the character explosion effect as it was turning into some kind of jumpscare. A slow-mo might reduce that effect.
But overall I enjoyed this game a lot, so great job!

Jim JittersThe game is complete, looks good, and applies the theme. I'll admit I found it super frustrating to play though.

Natural ConnectionThis game was extremely fun and challenging to beat! It was rage inducing in the best way. I found myself addicted to try to beat the next level and the graphics are very nice as well , I could definitely see this game being successful and i also just wanted to mention the spelling error download is spelled incorrectly. The only thing I would suggest is a tutorial, but dang this is probably one of the best games in the jam, so amazing job!

Our GalaxyClever idea it fits perfect in gameplay. Sometime you have to get extra slow to get more signal. I reach level 3 but it beats me I had a lot of fun with your game thanks for submission it

Many Many RoomsFun and challenging, getting the hang of the physics is pretty difficult but once you get the hang of it it starts to become a bit easier. Keep up the good work!

Lost SignalThose better be some important documents! I enjoyed the challenge and the goofiness of the whole aesthetic/idea. Difficulty ramps up quick (no pun intended)! One additional note; no need to call the game simplistic, it was great and I worked hard to beat this "simple" game. Keep up the good work.

Energy CrisisPretty cool idea, and great bike controls. Really cool! Great use of connection also

The Human ConnectionI hope this will not be my case on my way to work hahaha and imagine exploding if I am not able to download the file + not reach the work lol. A really fun concept but the controls are a little bit hard/too sensitive for me, but still manageable. I agree with MisterMast the it is a lot harder as level progresses that it is almost impossible. Probably balancing some more time like adding +10 seconds or 20 seconds to give extra time or pick-ups along the way to extend time/deadline (calling the boss lol) or tell the friend to slow down. I can see further developments but this one is a great concept for me! Good job!
