Neat concept. I like the use of a twitch chat of sorts, in the game. Very creative touch. It is impressive that you rendered so much map geometry, on top of the player model, within the 3 day time span.

I feel that, with further development on mechanics and goals for the game, it could be an absolute banger.

OBS menu is amazing, movement is bouncy but i think that works for this style of game. I couldn't find many bananas though, maybe the map is a little to large / bananas are too hard to see.

UI is so unique!

I like the streaming theme, and the OBS-style menu is really cute, especially the BRB screen in the pause menu. Movement feels pretty sluggish and visuals struggled to load a little, but particularly considering you made the majority of the art during the jam, it was quite impressive to look at.

Also: that monkey is caked up

A game this good looking is extremelly unexpected for a three day gamejam!!! But i only found one banana, maybe it's a skill issue or smth, but i feel it would be nicer if there was more things to do.

The streaming aspect and the comments are really cool!

Love the HUD, did the same thing but you found a nice way for the chat xD i was just like well, i cant put in the live twitch chat meh~

I'm really proud of the UI, the OBS and the elements similar to Connor's stream. also the chat isn't live either,  just wrote around 100 usernames and messages from chat

The scope is pretty big for the three days but you have good execution on theming and gameplay, hope to see you submit again next year!

Could use some more direction, a bit too sandboxy for me

True, unfortunately I didn't have time to add more or even fix some stuff

Really cool design and setup. I couldn't tell if the bikes had different stats but the Penny bike seemed to be the fastest and turned much easier than the others. Didn't have the patience to find all 50 bananas haha.

Thanks for playing, I hide a secret at the end so you have to try and find all 50 bananas

I really want to like this, because biking in 3D has been fun for me since I first played GTA San Andreas, and when I see a banana in the distance and collect it I have fun. But there are way too few bananas placed/too many to collect and not having the ability to move backwards and thus getting stuck on trees and steep inclines really sucks the fun out for me.

Thanks for trying it, there are 100 bananas placed around the map, at first I thought to make the player find all 100 but that would have taken too long so made it 50. Also i know its really annoying to not move backwards, I just didn't have the time  to make the animation and without the animation it looked weird so I just disabled moving backwards and forgot to turn it on later but you could respawn by pressing TAB
