I enjoyed it, overall I think everything was put up nicely, from sound to visuals and gameplay.

The only issue I had was with some of the collisions, maybe the collider boxes needed a little bit more tidying up. 

Anyhow, good game, well done!

Nice game with audio included to make the game stand out towards the audience, I liked the concept of it by staying and jumping to grab the coins whilst avoiding the dirt and spike obstacles, at times there were some problems when collecting a coin where it would restart for me, but with the object spawning random each time makes the challenge of getting further and beating previous attempts, overall great game so well done!

A good game with awesome visuals, I was actually unaware that the sprite was moving until I saw the obstacles show up, and as you already know there seems to be a hitbox issue, it seemed to me that I would die whenever I landed partially on a platform.

Absolutely love the visuals, the art style is appealing and the main character is adorable! I enjoyed the difficulty but fairly often I'd die without knowing what killed me (it seems you're aware of this though).

I like how you've randomised the obstacle layouts, although I'd sometimes start off with a really hard one which meant I couldn't prepare for it and felt a little unfair.

Overall a solid endless runner, nice one!

I love the audio of the game it really makes the game immersive. The visuals look good and the game play is just so frustrating that it keeps me wanting to play. Awesome game! :)

Quite a visually appealing game with a range of obstacles in the way that makes each time you play slightly different, creating depth and longevity. Acknowledgements of notable issues are appreciated.

That being said, some of the hitboxes seem a bit wonky at times, bordering on unfair. As some of the other endless runner games submitted, the way the character jumps is a key part of the game's "quality". Some more attention to how the jumping feels would go a long way to improving the overall experience. I won't mention the bugs as you are already aware, but perhaps some more attention to collision would make the game more accessible for a hyper-casual audience. Finally, consider how you export the game to people who may not be familiar with folder structure, which app to run, etc.

It is clear that attention has been made to create a game and make it more than just "jump over obstacles simulator". Nice attempt, all in all.

Thank you for the feedback Charlie. The collision issues I agree are very frustrating at times.  I have been going over the colliders and am still trying to figure out what the issue is as sometimes when I play it myself I get hit even though nothing was there.  If I do end up finding what is causing these I will see if I can upload a fix before the due date.
