Very fun game. I had some trouble with timing when switching lanes near an automatic switch but that might be solved with some practice. Looks very polished too

Pretty decent, especially for a first game. I would considering changing movement with AD/arrows instead of the hook, but that's up to you guys. Though, I'd recommend making the automatic lane switch happen a bit sooner, because now the player is always too late if there's an obstacle.

Connection HopperFun little game! Get it working on phones, polish it a little, and you might have yourself a deal with a publisher here. ;)

The_JumperGood game, I enjoyed playing it. I struggled with the controls on my pc. Sometimes it would switch lanes and other times it would not.

Miner InconvenienceVery fun concept, with nice aesthetics. I had difficulty with the hook, it seemed like it operated on some combination of aiming the hook's direction, but the distance being based on timing of releasing the button. I found it very difficult to control where I wanted to, but it was still a fun ride for several attempts. I hope you continue development, I'm looking forward to playing more. :)

Monster CasinoNo idea how you switch tracks, it felt like it was happening kinda randomly. Your beginning cinematic was pretty blurry and I was scared your game might look like that but thankfully it wasn't. I'm not a big endless runner guy, but I'm glad I got to play yours!

Katamousey IslandHey!, Thank you for playing the game and leaving a comment here. We were scared that people might think that the game looked like the beginning cinematic!. You can switch tracks if you left click on the screen and the hook touches the wall!. You can also move by letting your character touch the turning tracks, they make you change track automatically.
Thank you again for playing the game!
Great game! It feels a lot like an arcade game; I played a bunch of times and I got a highscore of 107! Very well polished! Could easily be an addictive mobile game.
Pros
-Cool intro screen, a bit low res tho
-Loved the aesthetics and music!
-I liked that there was a tutorial, but I didn't really help (Though I learned I could get gems with my pickaxe from it). I had to play the game a couple times to learn how to play.
-The forced rail movements added a lot of difficulty to the game
-I liked the darkness effect (maybe added in some bloom through post-processing to make the gems look really shiny :D)
-I liked the pickaxe movement. WSAD/arrowkeys lane movements wouldve been a lot easier, but this adds a lot of complexity to the game. I think it would have been cool to make the pickaxe range unlimited and let the pickaxe movement go concurrently with the auto-lane switch rails. So you could buffer lane transitions to make multi-lane transitions.
Cons
-I wished the mine hook would move a bit faster given some of the situations I was put in lol
-I encountered some situations where i was surrounded by enemies(two rocks, 1 bat) and I couldn't dodge no matter what lane I was in. I realized later that the bats could be killed with the mining hook.
-Would be nice to have a sound volume slider
-Not sure what was at the end of the timer since I never made it, but I felt a bit rushed by it.
Awesome game, great job everyone!

Miner TroublesThis is a nice way to innovate in endless runners games! But I hate those lane changers :P

Serfs GaloreI love the sprites on the side really make you feel like you're in a abandoned mine shaft. I would love to change lanes whenever tough with a faster speed that increases faster, that could result in a faster experience but overall really cool game and well done.
