This was a nice runner, looks good and plays well, I enjoyed it!

This was a funny lil' experience. Punny, witty, and actually quite fun! I got genuinely invested in seeing how much money I could make before I flunked a jump. The answer is $51. 

Overall, the experience is straight forward, simple, and consistent! I can tell you have a knack for platformers, because sometimes I would have to be clever about my jumps if I wanted to survive, which is a plus in my book. Like others have stated, I think the experience could be elevated by having some variety! Different enemies, maybe traps, or power ups all keeping to the political humor would make for one snazzy little game!

Also, solid music choice. It was very relaxing to listen to,

The title is quite a nice pun, definitely got a chuckle out of it

Took me a few tries to realize I could DOUBLE jump, haha. Fun endless runner, music and sound had a relaxing vibe that I enjoyed.

Overall, the feel of the game isn't horrible. I had fun for while I played.

Although, the random generation sometimes makes impossible or really hard jumps.

Having more variety in the game (be it new enemies/platforms/abilities) could keep the game interesting for longer.

Thanks, happy you didn't find the game horrible! It is true that sometimes jumps can be almost impossible, but it is hard to find out since a lot of testing is necessary. More variation is definitely needed.

Simple little platformer. I liked the humour in the story and the general idea. It could have used more variation in game play and villains. Instead of just rats, maybe some other creatures, or people. And some different mechanics like bounce pads, or crumbling platforms, or boosters to add some variety.

Developer

I agree more variation is needed and thanks for the suggestions!
