It looks kinda buggy at times. But other than that, nice job! :) I really love the character sprite (if you can call it that :P). I take it's inspired by Bit.Trip Runner? :)
A pretty weak take on the Rainbow Unicorn-style game. The player should be further to the left of the screen instead of squarely in the middle so that you can see the obstacles sooner and react instead of memorize the level layout. The graphics and music are very rough, and the controls don't feel great. The theme could have been implemented more interestingly, but at least it's present. Overall, not very engaging and doesn't bring much of anything new to the table.
Fun but too hard. A quick amelioration would be to make the space bar trigger the next try as well. Having to take the mouse just to start again makes it less addictive.
Interesting... though the controls didn't feel that responsive being that even the smallest touch of the jump button made him soar haha. But otherwise great art style!
I think if you're gonna make a game really hard, then you have to make it really easy to play again. Using the mouse to hit a play again button then, another button at a different location makes it unnecessarily frustrating.
I thought the sprite was interesting. It kind of looked like a real person, like what they did in the original mortal kombat. I liked the look of the rainbow also.
Very cute. I like the idea of taking photos and stitching them together as a sprite for the competition. The gameplay is also quite solid, which is important. Just a couple of things:
It's not immediately apparent that bushes will stop you, which is not a big deal considering the short life cycle of the game, but it's something to consider.
It's also not clear that the black rocks are destructible. I understand now that the cracks are meant to convey this, but they really just look like part of the texture. Adding a large throbbing "X" over the rock would help convey the idea that you have to dash into it.
I haven't played any of these newfangled "other runners" the kids are talking about up in these comments, but I did enjoy running in this game and I am roughly aware of the rainbows shooting out of one's back as running occurs being a thing.

Keep up the good work. I hope to see you at #28!
Nice character sprite though :)

I'd say 48 hours well spent!
