Run racing is such a funny concept, but i think currently it feels alot of still manouvering a vehicle rather than running. It almost feels like i’m running on ice all the time, i would imagine having more grip. Maybe it would be cool, to turn this a bit more into an obstacle race than a track race? I imagine having smaller things to jump over, or things to slide below under. (But maybe that’s just me)
I also used the controller to play this, and the controls are very unfavourable. You have acceleration an A and jump on x, but in order to get over the gaps, i need to keep both pressed, which is usually not how you use a controller :P. It lead to me failing to jump the gap, becaues i was switching from A to X and so lost all my acceleration (because i assumed it was based on momentum). You should probably just make it LT than i don’t have to use my thumb that akwardly :)
I love the music in the tutorial, it sounds straight out of Sonic. The defeat message is also very appropriate :D
