Three people, two segways. One will have to run!



Goal: get as far as possible, before you inevitably run out of energy.
The person without the segway will lose energy, especially when running or jumping. So make strategic choices to switch who is running! The ones on the segway will slowly restore their energy. On your way you will also find hearts. Pick them up for an energy boost for your runner!
Once the runner's energy is up, you lose. While switching, you can't control the character. So be careful while switching on slippery slopes.

Controls: Arrow keys & number keys 1, 2 and 3.

Tips: The level is a big lap. After you get back to the start, the hearts reset and you can try another round, probably with less energy than you started with.
I scattered some hearts around the map (some are a bit more hidden), and I do not know yet what the optimal route is - which hearts are worth taking a detour for? I would very much enjoy to hear your highscores!

Tools:
* Scripting: Godot
* Programmer art: InkScape
* Sound effects: Audacity & a microphone

*PostCompo Update*: (5th of April) I tweaked the parameters a bit, after finding out that you could beat the game by standing still and switching all the time... :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Perhaps you can still beat the game, but now at least you will have to keep moving.
