Damn, this Ludum Dare was a real test for me. I ran into so many problems building this game and had no time to add any sounds :(, but I finally have something playable (I think).

Tutorial:

Use the up key to accelerate your shiny yellow character & down key to decelerate and avoid the red cubes or it's game over!

A pink power up appears randomly in the game which you can use to launch enemies into the sky! This power up is present for 7 seconds. (I had no time to add the timer haha!)

Let me know how it plays! I'll be sure to implement feedback in the near future.

Click the simmer.io link below to play! :D

*EDIT*

I forgot to add the resources I used to make this game! Here's a list:

- Unity Engine
- Blender

What I found particularly useful is Sebastian Lague's Unity Tool which you can find below along with a very useful tutorial.

- Path creator tool: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/utilities/b-zier-path-creator-136082

Neat concept, the keys didn't register for me for some reason on first load, but cleverly done. Very fitting with the theme!

I love the simplicity of this, good job! Just when you thought @adorikill's Infinite Racer is minimalistic, here's an even purer essence of the same theme, very amusing to see. I feel like your collision mechanic "makes more sense" than the random fly-bys of that other game.

Really nice, I liked the gameplay a lot !

Fun little arcade game. Reminds me of Frogger in a way. Could use a bit more variety/development over time.

Very simple but very cool game ! It’s relaxing after playing a lot of game with lots of sounds and stuff happening on screen ;)
I like the glow effect. Is it made with shaders ?
Congrats for this jam entry !

Reminds me of mayhem on the old Hot Wheels tracks, and really like the simple controls. Excellent!

Nice simple game, I like that enemies vary a little! Next time consider adding sound effects, they add a lot to a game!

Basic arcade game but nice concept for increasing challenge. Miss a nice retro wave sound with this to get a good mood :). Well done

A fun arcade style game , would of benefited from sound effects I think as well, but overall pretty good, the graphics with the glow style enhance the otherwise simple style and give it that retro arcade style.

Fun little game, great concept. A shame you ran into problems I would have loved some sound effects :smile:. I was quite confused about what to do at the start but after I figured out the up and down button I really liked the game!

Great entry!

Simple, but quite fun. I could see this as a mobile game, controlling the speed by sliding your finger up or down.

My biggest complaint is that the bloom effect made me think my monitor was dirty, haha

It seems like avoiding those red cubes would be easy, and every single time I crashed being reckless trying to zip between them at high speed. Really fun, and I'm only a little dizzy. Nice job!
