In Unicycle Messenger you experience the flow of unicycling in cities.
The point is to earn as much money as possible so that you can unlock fancy new unicycles.
Controls:
WASD/Arrow keys to move. R to go to start position if you're stuck in a wall somehow. 3 to toggle 3D effect, do this if the game is lagging for you. Escape to quit.
Entrancing game! Loved the soundtrack :D Also dancing buildings. Getting stuck in walls is kind of a bummer, but not too big of a problem, really. Good job man :P
Controls are a bit finicky and the zooming effect could be smoother. I like the audio.

My favorite one: The off-road (almost extreme) version :P And of course the final one... I just loved going off-track as shortcuts ^_^
I never coded in GameMaker, but you might want to check the x/y speed of your unicycle as it crashes into a building - and let it bounce off with that speed instead of getting it stuck...
Really cool game! Good graphics and really nice soundtrack (reminded me of dustforce). Sadly the controls were very difficult and I got stuck in walls often. Otherwise, really cool game that I'd like to see more of.
The soundtrack and graphical style really served together to create a good atmosphere. One or two minor quibbles (I got stuck on buildings a few times, and I'm not sure what it is that You Only Get One of... wheels on your unicycle?) but overall, a very good game.
I liked it, the game has a clean simple look. For fixing that getting stuck problem (assuming you're in Box2D), you could just change the restitution value of boxes to stop the unicycle from being halfway though.

The way the buildings bob up and down like that...I'm sorry, but this game actually gave me a headache too. Good job submitting a game, but this really didn't play well at all.
I just had to play this, since we also thought about making a unicycle game :D. My only gripes with it are the fact that the camera is a bit quirky (especially when going off-road) and that the physics are a bit wonky (I would've loved to see how a Drag Race Unicycle would've fared against one of those cars!). Good job!
Once I got a grip on the quirky camera and the controls, this game became a joy to play. Managing to get from one building to another, smoothly gliding round corners whilst avoiding the pesky cars and buildings - that was fun. If the building collision had been improved it would have been perfect.
It's amazing how such simple gameplay becomes so addicting and engaging. Getting stuck in building is a tad frustrating at times, but that is somewhat fixed by the restart button. Leaves a really nice impression

Anyhow, was fun to play :)

The camera could give motion sicness I guess ahah.
