Hey very good game. Arts are wonderfull. The game miss a bit of potential challenge. Maybe you could add some bonus to catch in order to force the player to take risk. Right now we just have to focus on the correct jump. Also i have not feel a lot of controll on the jump. If the jump hight was controll by how long i press on the button it would have add more variety and controll and risk for the player. By the way well done it's a complet game done.

Really neat idea! I included it in my XanderJam 3 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Just realized I had not left a review on this yet- great implementation of an infinite runner tied to the theme! I loved the music to be honest :D

Game has a lot of character, love the music, very epic and goes great with the game. Would have loved to have seen some checkpoints in there with each character evolution as a small mis-step on later stages means you are thrown right back to the start of the game. Great job!

A nice little side-scroller. The music was funny and I like the simple style. 

Well done :]

Really nice game, simplistic, but amazing, in my opinion it was just amazing, the fact that you can only see silouettes instead of the full object makes it really cool. It would also would have been nice if when the human evolved, the background would have had evolved too, for example with buildings, or castles, etc

Ok so I beat this one on my 3rd try. As I said on my other comment, I freaking love the music here. Obviously the game isn’t meant to be played for hours on end and that’s completely fine. 

I really loved the art for this game. The particle effects are genuinely very impressive, starting with the fire, then the snow, and then my eyes got real wide for the tsunami thing which was just so stinking cool! The little astronaut at the end was fun too. Though it actually ends up not being an endless runner, so if you beat the game you don’t have a cool high score to show off. 

The only real crappy part is with the gameplay, this was laughably bad, I mean mostly in a good way though. It’s a beautiful realizes joke of a game experience and I love it. For a joke, there’s a lot of care put into the visuals. I kind of wish the platforming wasn’t so awful, but I understand that’s a part of the experience :)
