I didn't get the relation with the theme. The game playes well though. In my opinion, some obstacles aren't veru clear. For example I didn't get right away how to get trough doors and the hole in the ground tricked me into thinking in had go down because of the arrow. Neat game overall, good job.

For most of the game the obstacles just disappear before I reach them and when they don't they come towards me very quickly.

A good endless runner. The 3 different obstacles get boring fast. I got how the theme is supposed to relate with the game but I think the theme should be integrated better.

Nice little runner, the controls are clear and the whole thing plays quite well. The graphics are serviceable and the obstacles well placed, so that the game is never boring. On the technical side, the hole hitbox is a little larger than its sprite, and its arrow encourages to player to jump inside. Good job overall though.

Was a nice little idea. I especially liked the sprite work. Really good attempt for your first go.

Couple of ideas to expand it further:
. Use more screen space. There's all that lovely room above the characters that is only really used for the background.
. Try syncing the gameplay to the music.
. Keep at it. Keep adding stuff, like new obstacles, level themes and music ;)

Awesome job! Keep it up!

It was a fun game. I got that the connection to the theme was a shirtless guy running out of Space, Inc., which was clever. The music was good too!

I wish there were more obstacles or things to do.

Basic style of game, but good execution. Once I learned the obstacles and controls, it seems infinitely easy (as if the difficulty isn't scaling). My main complaint is that the screen movement is so fast it is a bit nauseating, but maybe that's just me. Great work on this one. I enjoyed it.

Had a bug where the obstacles would disappear right before they hit the player. other than that good game that was fun to play

Fun game! Really liked the graphics. One thing I noticed was sometimes when there were two walls to slide under back-to-back, they would get placed too close together, so the guy wouldn't stand up in time to hit slide before the second wall hit him.

its a neat game, but i consider your use of the words to be more of a cop out with the theme... Having a business called 'Space inc' and a character running out of it isn't that creative in my opinion... its arguable but barely holds water.

Loved the art style, although I wasn't sure what the hole was about - the image with the arrow. I came across a bug where if you keep the character running at the far right of the screen most of the obstacles disappear before they reach you. Occasionally a person does hit you though. I think the play on words for running out of space is ok. Its all about getting creative with the theme.
