That was a really good use of the theme. Very challenging to play as well. Would love to see some more additions to this game.
Great conecpt. Performace was slow and music was choppy, but my laptop has had issues with performace on other games too, so I can't blame you for that.
Great concept! Loved the action this game has. Cheers :)
A simple concept, but pretty entertaining :) One issue I did notice though is that I could sometimes move straight through obstacles without dying.
I liked the sense of speed - the collision seems strange, after a while I seemed able to just pass through blocks - I think you have health or something but it's not super obvious. It would be cool if the speed got faster and faster because it seemed like I could just go on forever. I couldn't tell if I was getting extra score for "that was close!" near misses.
The game is pretty hard, but is also pretty unique and interesting to play! Maybe the movement is too fast too soon, perhaps adding later on some kind of acceleration would help balance things out. Overall, game feels very cool!
Fun game :) One thing though, sometimes obstacles are spawn in a way that make it impossible to not hit at least one.
thank you :)
yep, that bug is definitely on the chopping block once the rating period is over!
It feels very relaxing. The music is super chill :)
The collision detection isn’t very good though. Sometimes I just die for seemingly no reason, and other times I hit a block head on but don’t die.
thanks :)
collisions steal from your score, and the game only ends when your score goes negative, so if your score is high enough, you can survive a few collisions without dying. I found while testing that the game was just too hard to enjoy without any collisions. I am putting together a todo list for when the rating period is over for things to update. One thing I think I must definitely improve is the way the score is communicated. Right now, it is too difficult to know how lethal a collision will be while focusing on dodging. A second thing that is an absolute must is some function that pushes you out of a collision zone, because at the moment, while you are inside a box, you will continue to take damage, but the box will not be rendered, meaning the game will sometimes end in a state in which it looks like you are not colliding with anything, but in fact the collision zone is just not being drawn.
Ok, that explains a lot :D
I didn’t even notice there was a score :P
Well I played through it a couple more times, and I also noticed that the combination of low fog distance, and the way levels are generated can lead to impossible situations. But I’m happy to hear that you’re gonna work further on this - It could be a really nice mobile game if you iron out the kinks :)
Dang, yeah that’s a mistake! I’m glad to hear you would like to see a mobile game. I have been bouncing around the idea of making a mobile game as a platform for showcasing my music, and I’m looking forward to fixing the bugs and implementing some features, like new music, increasing difficulty, changing colors and styles… I’m excited to just play with what I can do with this really, and I’m planning to release it for android when it’s a little more polished.
Thanks for taking an interest :)
a nice little game. and fun to give it a few runs to try and beat my own score.
thank you!
It's good and entertaining.
thanks!
Great game, simple concept but great execution.
One gripe i have is that sometimes obstacles will spawn in a way that makes it impossible to escape from.
Otherwise well done and great music!
thanks for the praise!
Yes, I think that improving the object spawning – or maybe it will be better to think of it as the safe path generation – will be a really necessary change going forward. At the moment, it just spawns a bunch of boxes of random size at random positions, and it’s entirely possible that it may create a configuration that has no escape routes.
First thing, I’ll have to clean up the code though. It’s a mess! 😅
