Endless Runner with quick time event where you have pick the right shape for each obstacle !

We let you discover wich shape go with wich obstacle !

Each key is Randomly set before each QTE so pay attention during the slow motion !

Hope you will enjoy the game

It was our first partitipation to LD and was great, will definitely do this again !

We made some of the graphics (we're not designers) but not all and we did'nt make the sounds but all the rest was made by us !

Tell us your highest score !

The game was made in C++ with SFML library

===LINUX INSTALL===

Sorry but we could'nt share the libraries.
In order to run the game you need to install SFML2 (download the sources from the http://sfml-dev.org/ or with your favorite packet manager)
Then you can use the makefile with g++
Sorry again ! (any tips on this is welcome !)

"Concept" sounded fun but controls made it impossible/frustrating to play.
- Jumping's way loose and weird and "collision" with obstacles felt odd.
- QTE events slow everything, are very hard to comprehend and so fast you lack context to make a choice. Plus they seem to "slow down" things, which, when it happens when jumping, slows that too and kills you.

Like the idea, couldn't play it proper :/

Tried again with new build.
Managed to go past 1 obstacle, up to around 200 score I think, then same thing happened: QTE slowed time above fire while jumping, which slowed the jump and caused death :)

I'll check again later this week, in case.

Funny game, enjoyed the different morphs. Was a bit hard to figure out at first. I suggest gradually speeding up the movement to help new/young players get use to the mechanics. I respect that you guys did it in C++ for Windows and Linux

Its not bad. A skater that turns itself into a duck is a cool concept but the controls aren't really smooth.

Would keep working on it though.

I loved the idea but the gameplay could have had a little more refining
