Simple, but surprisingly addictive. I do wish the camera was a bit wider and we had a little more time to react to the obstacles. The gnome asset is super fun, and I love the old-school 3 letter name submission to the leaderboard too. Nice work!

Submitted

There is not enough space in front of the player to avoid obstacles in time. Music is good but lacks sound effects.

Submitted

I really like the style you went for :) My reaction time sucks though so I didn't got very far haha

Submitted

Nice submission!

I liked the fluid animation and the unique style, the slide animation is really creative, very nice job!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing :)

Submitted

Whew! My reaction speed sucks. Haha!

Cool game even if I have no hope of making the leaderboard. :-P

Developer

Thanks for giving it a go :) I've made the dark souls of ape based escape runners

Submitted

I like whatever that headless monkey thing is chasing you.

Developer

Thanks for playing :) what's not to like about a nightmarish monkey that wants to eat you?

Submitted

the style is so nice and the animations! :D

Thank you for playing :) i think the animations are what i put the most time into so glad you enjoyed them :)

Submitted

Great job getting your game finished on time.  Is there an end?  I think i made it to almost four minutes but was not sure if the game was endless or not? --Fin

Yeah no end just to allow people to always beat the highest score if they want to :) thanks for playing though!

Simple game, original art style. Reminds me something like old SEGA game.

I noticed I can just hold slide button to always be avoiding half the obstacles and I jump I'm instantly back to sliding. Seems a litle bit like an exploit.

Developer

Hahah yeah you're right, but thank you for playing :)

Submitted

Haha I like the slide animation, nice game

Developer

thank you for playing! :)

Fun game! A cool improvement would be if it got progressively faster and if the monkey slowly moved back if you don't get hit! Great job

Yeah there was a couple things i wanted in that i had to drop, a difficulty scale was one of those, but thanks for playing! :)

Submitted

Interesting/Cool animation style! Sadly I'm too bad/slow where I barely ever am able to avoid anything.

Developer

thanks for checking it out :) i think from what im hearing i probably could've done with slowing the objects down a little, its annoying such a simple fix but idk what the rules are on just changing something small like that

Submitted

Sick animation and great music gave me Kim Possible vibes, great game

Developer

Thanks so much for playing :)

Objects spawn in faster than I can register them but I really like the art style in this game. Its great haha

Developer

Thanks for playing! :) I did want to do some sort of difficulty scale where things get faster as the game progressed but it never made it in on time

Submitted

I just wanted to come back and say that graphically I think this is my favourite game in the jam lol. Whenever I see the icon scrolling through the entries it makes me laugh lol.

Developer

Wow! Thank you so much, this is the second game i've  posted online so hearing that means a lot :)

Submitted

Love the animations

Developer

thanks for playing :)
