Stretch Runner adds a unique shape shifting mechanic to a simple runner. Avoid the obstacles while collecting orbs. Stretching horizontally allows you to gather multiple orbs at once, while stretching vertically helps to avoid obstacles.
A and D to move left and right respectively. W stretches vertically (skinny) and S stretches horizontally (flat).
This is the first time I've submitted a 3D entry, mostly since I have more experience with 2D art. Almost everything on the screen is done with basic geometry and particle effects. The UI is completely done with Unity's built-in UI system.
Nicely done. The graphics were simple and enjoyable. It's a pretty fun game overall. The further I got, the less points were showing up, this might just be bad luck, but I would try to keep the points appearing evenly throughout the entire game.
Tight controls and a nice look made this fun to play! I got 300, which I know isn't great, but I couldn't help taking those risks and squeezing through the tight spots to grab the orbs.
Awesome game! I like how you made it to where you couldn't just hold down the stretch keys the whole (I tried to do thinking I was sneaky). The mechanics were smooth and the game play was addicting. I feel there could be better sound and some music and a bit more to the details of the visuals. Overall,, great game to play! Good job :)
Simple mechanics, easy to understand and get into the game. Correct clean graphics, the obstacles are especially good-looking. The game in itself gets a little repetitive after some time, but that's to be expected (I mean : what ludum dare game doesn't ?). (But you made the game becomes faster and harder the longer you play : it makes the game a lot more interesting, so good job.)
Some comments on the mechanics : I often shift back my ball to it's original size right after passing through a gate, but I still take some damage. I would expect the collisions to be thinner. Maybe you could have varied the gameplay a little more, like having to get "flat" to pass low gates, because right now if you don't want points you can simply survive using only the thin-form.
The mechanics are global well-done, I'm just trying to pin-point what I feel could be slightly better.
So good job and good luck for your future projects !

Nice job with your first leap into 3D, too.

But do not get the game of squashing down though... there was no point in the game in which I needed to do that! :)
