As always not enough time, i had to work this weekend, so i only had a few hours to spare and had to go for the Jam. BUT that allowed me to use some really fitting music by the Dirtyphonics, it creates a great atmosphere. My collaborator from last time, Foya could unfortunately not participate this time either, thats why i am back to the 'it would be charming if a kid had drawn it' gfx style :)
So, you are waking up in an E.R. in the small town of Pow and before you know what is happening you are running for your life as the town has been taken over by {{ enter your favourite 'the end times are near' monster / creature }}.
Don't hit anything, use Cursor up and down to jump and to accelerate your landing (don't ask me why, i realized that after a while it was impossible to jump between obstacles, this way you can get around that).
So, DOWN key makes you come down faster, thats important after ~60 seconds.
Of course there are also earthquakes and general disorientation going on, so... have fun :)
TL;DR
Don't hit stuff.
Cursor UP to jump,
DOWN to sink faster to the floor (important only later)
pressing down to come down faster is a neat idea, and overall this is well done for the time you spent on it. i would tweak the jump button so holding it doesn't repeat your jump, that killed me a couple times. i think the down mechanic should make you come down faster to make it more intentional, right now it feels too floaty. good job though!
Lol that dubstep music was ON POINT haha Simple but good idea, i would just deplore the fact that the down dodge seems not to be implemented, but anyway i liked the game Couldn't surpass the 50 seconds though, i had this feeling that sometimes obstacles cannot be dodged ? Anyway good job guys ! :)
That was the most hyped up track I have heard in-game ( after burn dem in Far Cry 3 :P), and I loved it!!
Amazing game. You could've done something affecting the obstacles with the beat of the music. Nonetheless, it was a fun and cool game. Liked the graphics, and obviously the music!
I simply loved it haha! The music is great and kept me playing! Just a little thing, the player's hitbox should be located on his feets rather than the whole sprite, when I collided with obstacles it often wasn't really readable why it counted as a collision! The rotations and zooms were amazing, that's a really cool game, keep it up!
Man i love how creative you got with the camera! it actually was a good fine line between making the game super interesting but also not havoc to give me a headache!
The music was spot on as well! really fit the animation, but could be cool to mix your sound effect wubs and music with some of the camera movements too! i enjoyed this quite a bit! and didn't get too easily frustrated
I think you managed to take what would be a very simple and basic endless runner and made it really cool and fun with just the clever use of music and camera movement! It makes things seem a lot more epic, when in reality you're really just jumping over some dudes in bed. I had a good time with it!
Good game, you played a lot with the camera, which some times was nice, but other items was a distraction for me to lose :D but I loved: - Most of the camera function - The music - The linear complexity in progression - The loading time was not that bad
One thing i want to mention, while it was loading the game mentioned using the mouse cursor up/down to play, which meant for me swiping with the mouse, but i ended up using the keyboard arrows!

Good job!
Also, the zooming adds variety and fits interestingly.
