The game is nice, but it starts without any tutorial, and it took me time to understand what is my purpose.

Next time you should start with a menu as well, and a simple how to play page.

The controls are pretty hard, and you could make the background scrolling so this will add the effect that you're actually riding the skate

good job :!

Thanks! Appreciate your response!

Its basically a good idea, but the controls on PC are very difficult and the game in general is really difficult to play... But it could be a fun game!

A very simple game that is a bit difficult to play on PC but also is very simple overall.

It gets progressively more difficult as time goes on which is always good.
The art style is simple and the visuals do not clutter your screen or anything making it easy to see incoming obstacles.
The lack of sound effects is sort of a detriment but it obviously does not affect gameplay.
If you were to add some sounds and some music I think that would be pretty good.

This game is quite fun and can be pretty difficult at times when objects are moving quickly due to the small screen. This does make it a bit hard to dodge at times but that's okay. Keep up the good work!

I already gave you my feedback in the discord, however Ill put it here as well that way you can reference it again (and I added some parts)

This game is great! I especially love how you can play it on phone even while it is a webGl game! Great job and good luck in the jam!!!

Some feedback:

I think that this game could have  a little more ooomph to the game with some music. Some cool skater music would do the trick. Maybe you could use soundtrap to make the music since this is a only-our-assets game jam.

Going along with that, to add some personality and feel to the game, I think that you should also add a main menu as well as a cut-seen explaining the role of the skateboarder. I would love to see a scene before the game where it shows like cops following you or something and the character says "I need to go NOW" then the skateboarding game scene starts. Another thing you could do to add some feel to the game is to customize this game page. You can do this by going to edit theme (top middle) and changing colors, banners and adding screenshots. This makes each game feel unique.

I know I gave almost identical feedback to someone else too, however I think you should add a public leader-board as well as a personal leader-board so that people can see their high scores. This would add a little competitiveness to the game.


Once again, this feedback is supposed to be constructive! This game is great and I would love to see the changes it undergoes in the development process. Overall, great game and especially impressive to be done in a jam!

Thanks! This will be great guidelines if I continue development. It's always helpful to have a starting point built in. Appreciate your feedback and thanks again!
