This game was made for the Ludum Dare 51 Game Jam 2022!
The theme for this jam was: "Every 10 seconds"

Make your way through this cartoony "flappy bird-like" endless runner! :)
Conrols are simple: press the spacebar to accelerate and juggle between obstacles!

But beware: when gravitation changes, you have to act quick to keep your run going! Improvise, adapt and overcome - to raise your highscore bit by bit!

POST YOUR HIGHSCORE IN THE COMMENTS!!! - Our highscore was 1141, lets see if anyone can beat that ;D

Very nice and simple game! The little robot is very cute to play and the game is fun! It took me a bit to figure out but that might be just me ^^"
I'll try to beat the high score if I can >:)

Beautiful game and a nice example of how one little wrinkle can change a tried and true mechanic!

Cool concept. Liked how everything was color coded aswell, with like the player and the lasers swapping colors. Art was also very nice!

Simply amazing work, you guys! I love how you took a very simple concept and ran with it! The Final Product is polished to perfection! The art, the music, the animation, and the gameplay, all perfect! This could easily be a full release on mobile! This gets the highest marks from me! Outstanding Work!

@ideaspersecond thank you so much! We even have an apk version on our phones already haha! We're just tweaking and adding a few things (like a pause button) and will then release the mobile version for everyone very soon!

Good game ! I like the 10 seconds theme use. I think the only small problem is that sometiems the switch is happening at the wrong moment and its then impossible to win... Maybe there could be some rules for the obstacles so it let us a bit time to react at least ! Keep going !

Well polished game, can notice you put a lot of work at details. Great graphic and audio. Most importantly it is fun.

reminds me of jetpack joyride and ofc flappy bird (liked the pan in the name of the game xd). graphics are so good, main character is very cute. maybe some progression would be a nice addition for the game (you can even sell it on mobile phones, u know). really good game for ld, good job guys!

Nice flappy/flippy game!

Like the idea of flipping the gravity each 10 seconds.

The graphics and the music are superb!

Great entry and good job!

wow, this is a great game!! the flip really got me haha! my brain can't switch that quickly, but that was a really awesome use of the theme. the main menu is beautiful; i love the pixel art, the animations, and the feel of the controls are really nice! as a casual gamer, the pacing of the bot falling or rising was really easy to grasp, so great job on that!!

i think my one and only note would be that since the track was a preexisting one and not creating during the jam, you'd have to opt out of the audio rating.

other than that, fantastic game. love the graphics, love the audio, love the feel, love the gameplay, love how it all wraps up together !!

I had great trouble adjusting to the flip of the controls. I had an easy time understanding that the spacebar would then push me downwards but somehow the gravity also inverting had messed with my brain. (even though there are arrows pointing it out)
Solid game, though!
