Did you work in a team?
I made everything myself. Art, music, etc.
Was the resolution a challenge?
A challenge was to fit the gameplay in such a small space. Smaller sprites were the solution.
What did you learn?
I learned that there can never be enough particles and effects. And I learned some basic 2D lightning.

simple runner mechanics with very few controls… the game is fun and quite responsive, but graphically it’s very hard to see whats going on due to the “glowing” sun. The music is quite interesting… to the point of lightly disturbing, but works well with the theme of the game. Nice entry!
Thank you for your feedback! The point of the glow was to distract you and make you lose, but I know it's kinda annoying.
Cool game. The mechanics are simple but also pretty fun. I like the ability to dive down after jumping - it gives you a lot of control over your height. There's a nice variety of obstacles too. I'm not sure if there's something I'm missing, but it seems impossible to avoid the helicopter's missile. It would always catch up with me eventually no matter what.
The graphics are nice. I like the consistent use of reds, yellows and purples. The lighting effects are cool, but could be toned down little. Some of my deaths were less because I made a mistake and more because I couldn't see what was happening.
Thank you for your feedback! When a missile is following you, if you jump, the missile will slow down a bit because it will go diagonally. So when you keep jumping and diving, you will be able to slowly escape. I also wanted to mention that the lightning is supposed to distract you and make you lose, thats why the Sun sometimes blinds you with a ray. Thanks again and have a nice day! :D
Top-notch effects! Simple game to learn, but difficult to master :)
Thank you for your feedback! :D
The effects in this game are so good! The particles make the gameplay very satisfying and fun! It is simple and challenging and just cool to look at! The music fits the mood perfectly and I like how the score even bobs with the beat! Very nice detail! The loop could have been a little smoother, like if the song had an intro that only played once. Still a great experience and fun addicting game! Very nice job!
Thank you so much for the comment!
got a score of 36! the game is fun but the sun blinding you from time to time and making it harder to see when its close was a bit annoying. great great great audio!
Thank you!
Congratulations on making this game ! I've played your game during a live that you can watch here :
The live is timestamped so you can go directly to your game.Thank you for being here during the live. I hope the feedback and live reactions will be useful. Keep it up !
Thank you so much! :D
The effects are great!
The gameplay is simple but effective, and the music and sound effects give a lot of tension to everything. It is very fun and addicting. I don't have much to say regarding feedback, but it seems that sometimes the things that occur may leave you in a spot that is impossible to beat (in my case, a missile, a small rock, and the sun beam). It may be that I just wasn't skilled enough too haha.
Good job!
Thank you for the feedback! Sometimes it seems like it is impossible to dodge something, but it is just very very hard. If a beam is going to hit you when you have to jump, you need to stay down and make sure the Sun doesn't catch up with you. If it does, then ehh...
amazing graphics. This worked on mobile also.
Thank you! Yea, it does.
I is so fun 😀
My favorites are:
Reached 21 so far. Will show the game to my kids, definitely 🙂
Got 36 now 😄
Thanks a lot for the great comment and support! I really appreciate that! :D
It bops!!!!
This game was pretty fun and addicting. Music was epic, controls are simple and intuitive. For some feedback, the visual effects seemed a bit cluttered at times and I couldn't tell what was happening sometimes.
Thank you for the feedback!
Nice animations!
Thanks!
Challenging and addictive!
Game is fun. Looks and sounds great. Plays really well. I was having crashes on safari but no issues after swapping to chrome.
Thank you for the feedback!
Perfect art and animations. I loved the simple and enjoyable gameplay. Amazing work!
Thank you a lot! I really appreciate it! :D
Excellent graphics and gameplay, although I can't figure out what the shooting bird things do (are they helping or hindering?!)
Lovely style. Really enjoyed.
Thanks! This is a classic game where EVERYBODY and EVERYTHING tries to kill you. Nothing to worry about.
Fun! but really hard. Love the colors and the particles. High score: 32
Thank you for playing!
Your particle effects are spot on!
I don't think anyone is gonna beat my high score >:)
Very fun playing this. Need two helicopters at once (i never passed the first heliboss, though :D)
Thanks!
God this game is super freakin hard. Definitely compelling. Sometimes it feels unfair, but I mean.... the sun... is trying to kill you. So idk what I expected. Game is lit. Great music. Great graphics. Good game is good.
Thanks a lot for the comment! I tried to make the most random game ever. So here it is. A ninja called Jerry getting chased by the Sun and killed by a helicopter shooting homing missiles, while rolling under and jumping over rocks.
