Great game! The concept is really fun to play and the visuals are sweet. Took me a while to get used to the controls, I was really raging when my dude just loses balances out of nowhere. The music gets a bit repetitive too quickly and I would've loved some sfx (e.g: when you're close to falling off, at descents, when you change direction too quickly, etc..) to break the monotony of playing losing playing. Really nice entry!
Great entry! The visuals were really good, and combined with the music it definitely gave me the vibe of old PS1 sports games.
It sometimes felt a little unpredictable which direction the dude would lean; I'd sometimes be mostly balanced and suddenly jerk to the right or left when there wasn't a very strong curve. I think I might just not have the feel down yet.
It would be cool to see this extended with an infinite/procedurally generated mode or with bonuses or powerups you need to lean dangerously far to collect.
Great work for 72 hours!
Hey thanks. I think you really hit the nail on the head with the unpredicatability... I have a build staged here which will go live on itch when rating ends and which does it's best to smooth out those rough turns.
I also think going procedural could be extremely powerful. And with some recent upgrades to the rail editor, I think this might be achievable in the near future.

Fun game :)
And really cool visuals!
I hate that game. Because I love it at the same time. And I fall down all over again. 5/5
For those interested - the following Unity asset packs were used in the dev of this

I really had fun with this! It reminds a mobile game called impossible road.
