Awesome Little Game! Love the use of speed as health and the boosting was really fun. The graohics and take on the theme was very cool. Not sure if it was supposed to get harder overtime but the first time i played was much easier than the other times i played after. But awesome work you should be super proud of your game cause its awesome.

@zen Thank you so much! You should be proud of yourself cause YOU'RE awesome! About to collapse but the difficulty problem was actually a minute, tiny bug that I have just patched. Game's difficulty should be normal and consistent between runs now!

Hi, Nice game! It feels really good! After I crashed an obstacle I was wondering why I don't die, but I got it after a while. Its a good sense of speed in the game and I like that you have proper instructions in the game. Im curious of why the world is above me and not below me. And I would not have done the options menu and probably used the resources on the art of the level. Ah and good job with the scene transition, it feels like a complete game, and that's not necessary with game jam games :)

@bloham Thanks for the feedback! The ring around the planet in the logo is the loop-de-loop you're on so, as you're on the inside of the loop, the planet would appear above you. The options menu didn't really take any resources, I just wanted to focus more on particle effects and post-processing this time around rather than the individual 3D models. Glad it feels good!

At first look the game seems simple, so I though that maybe I will spend only a little bit playing it. I spent way more time than I originally expected. Great game! In my opinion it would work wonderfully on a smartphone.

Very good and sort of tacical gameplay. You'd think it's easy to avoid the obsacles since you see them from so far away but with the small turning speed you need to think ahead if you're willing to risk being in a certain spot and risk getting hit. The sense of speed is very good with camera shake and other effects. Repetitive but overall very good.

Game is very good. I like racing games, and this game is the game which i want to play again.
Maybe initial music volume could be little lower, and steering more precise, but graphic, audio and concept is very good :)

wow, this game ist hot :yum:

Very good game, loved the audio, it can be addictive, also it quickly becomes challenging which I love.
Maybe control are a little bit weird, but also make it even harder, which is good for this kind of game

Cool runner. And the soundtrack is awesome. Great job!

This game is super cool and very addictive. It took me a few tries but I got really good at it and got a really high score. I love the music and the graphics. It reminds me of Sonic. I think a little more indication when your health is really low would help the player try harder not to hit anything. This game is awesome!

Fun game! Very well polished. The music fits the game so good! Good job :)!

Cool game and nice graphics!

sefan9 Oct 2020, 19:03

Very cool and fun endless runner.

This is a nice racing game! :thumbsup: Personally I had some trouble dodging because left and right key didn't react as fast as I wished.

Loved that one! The feel of speed is amazin! You made a great job here! Congrats!

The camera is really nice and juicy. Control is kinda hard for me

Floata_114 Oct 2020, 23:51

very fun , enjoyed the music was pretty relaxing

yeah, this feels really, really good. 'specially the dashes do their work admirably well!
Can't really complain about anything really, everything seems to be on point. Of course it gets repetitive after a while, but that's kind of the point in this kind of games!
Very solid work!
