Nice game. The music is good. Some more SFX on jump and rolling rock could help.
Sometimes the jump does not work, and in this kind of game the controls must be responsive.
As it, it's a bit repetitive. Could be cool that the slope increase over time. 
Overall that was fun and I like the indiana jones vibe.
(my game has also raiders and rolling rocks !!!)

I like the assets you chose, sprites and music is cute. Played a few runs and made it to around 33s? Could've gone longer but the jumping would just not happen randomly and at a point it got quite frustrating. But seeing as you are a solodev i can't blame you too much for not nailing it perfectly during the time alotted. Fun in practice, but unfortunately quite buggy. Great work regardless and good luck with the jam! :)

Fun little game!

Great use of the 4 colour palette diversifier, the monochromatic look gave the game a charming look. I think adding a few more obtstacles to the game would provide some challenge though. Good job!

Cute game, loved that the guy had a hat, 1bit Indiana Jones! I often would press a key, but wouldn't jump, not sure if a bug or just bad timing on my part. Either way, good work!

Nice work. 

Especially since this I think this is your first jam.

The graphics are cute. I love the little hat bounce animation. And the music choice is perfect.


I like the randomization of the “little rocks” but I think a little more variation in obstacles would have added a lot of replays replayability. Even if the mechanic was the same, just making the art a cactus, or a fence, or something.


Nice little game though. Good luck with the jam!

Thanks, yeah I would've added more variety but I kinda ran out of time
