Nice graphics on this, everything looks great. I wish the difficulty ramped up a little more gradually though, e.g. by starting out with obstacles to jump over but no death pit, or maybe gradually increasing the scroll speed. As it was, I felt like I was dying too often to ever even get a feel for how the controls worked. Another option could be to provide some sort of training room where the player can get a feel for jumping and dashing.

Thank you for the feedback :D Yes this is probably the classic case where the dev get's too familiar with game so they makes it too hard. The speed does gradually increase, probably to fast. I'll probably add a tutorial where you can become more familiar with the movement.

Yeah, that does tend to happen! Another option might be to have difficulty levels with different starting speeds and possible obstacles. I seem to remember some old infinite runners did things like this.
