The plan was greater, but I assume that it always is at your first jam. Next time we will prep more, avoid celebrating a birthday with loads of beers. And make sure that artists aren't sick.

Soooo... the game is a bit low on content but it's something, and we learned quite a lot, yay for us!

...but nay for you! We are missing lvl design to some extent, so don't expect any replay value here. When you reach the end of the platform, the idea is to give you a choice between jumping to your death or backtracking, smashing those pesky villagers in the process so you can have a beer in peace. Though then you'd have to kill yourself anyways when you're bored to leave the game.

Oh, there's no quit button in the game, but i'm sure you'll find a way of getting rid of it.

There is something interesting into this project, but i assume that you lacked of time so as to release it as you wanted. It's a good start. Thank you ++

Cool idea, but a bit short ofc!

The view from the camera is very awkward.

I thought it was going to be in first person at first. The camera is confusing. The rest seems promising. But it lacks an ending.

With the big chance swarms just push me away from the road. I liked merged main menu and the game beginning, that you need to strt running instead of play button.

The camera angle is this game's worst enemy, I think. I could never line up the jump to the stairs. Also it was tough to tell when then game had actually started on my first few plays. I liked the character art, though!

Good idea, looking forward to seeing it more fleshed out!

Maybe consider only allowing left-right movement. Moving in the z-axis doesn't help clear the obstacles, and only causes tears when I accidentally walk off the edge ; ;

I really liked the cam perspective and the music which set a nice mood.

Nice art and audio. Getting pushed by villagers was a bit frustrating. However, I like the feeling of being chased by them. It would be cool as an endless runner, with different obstacles, where the villagers were what killed you when you failed to overcome the obstacles.

Could be cool if it had more depth to it :) but has a cool concept to it.

A little short and buggy. But i love the perspective and the flat characters. Need work, but there's something here. Nice!!

I can't play, something apears to be broken:
the player character seems to keep running off the cliff right after the start, ignoring all my keyboard input...
