This is great! Love the visuals and the Pink/Neon-Style. Controls are gameplay feel punchy enough too. The world switches make things interesting, but the game remained quite easy.
This game goes Off The Rails once you are done. Wow. I did not expect that.
There are a lot of things that it doesn't really need, though, which I think detract from the game. The story-screen only delays the actual "game", the title-screen is enough. The "Achievements" are quite obnoxious. there are better ways to include story-beats, like thought-bubbles,voice-narration, etc.
Also you don't have to explain how to press x in a special text, as it is all over the game :P

This is clearly inspired by Canabalt. I wonder if it also uses its source-code (no shame about that, it would be useful :P )
Cool endless runner. Good aesthetics and audio work. I killed myself after a while (after what seems to be the end) because the game wasn't getting any faster nor difficult.
My main grip is about the first part (before ~3200m). As nice as the graphics are, it's really hard to see the main character. Starting from the second part the character/background contrast is better and makes the game much more readable & enjoyable.
I agree with others. The graphics are visually appealing but I had a hard time seeing the player. Aside from problems tracking the player I like the choice in color palette.
The "achievements" up left are hard to read as you're focused on the actual game, and the graphical transitions seems to be dangerous. Also, I don't know if I have won or lost as I couldn't see the remaining distance anymore after 300m or so on my first run. After restarting & suiciding, it appears that I've won the first time, but I was hoping for some kind of reward. (I don't know if this stuff is relevant :p )
Still, visually worth 5* :) and fun experience overall.
Nice and ver fun. But those special messages was annoying especially on the las levels. It was also a bit frustrating to rely on infinite continues then permadeath just 200m before end. Reminded me of that good old Rainbow Island where you can't use continue on 2 last islands :)
Pas mal du tout :) Par contre, le changement de "niveau" est assez violent (surtout quand on est concentré)... J'ai perdu quasiment à chaque fois x)

@matthias_zarzecki: nop, all from scratch! :)
