Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I made all the Art Assets from Scratch and I wrote all the code myself. The Audio files I have the license to.

Real nice! Love the idea and execution is good. I think I found a glitch where you can move the dust mountains if you jump into them. I eventually got so many of them the FPS dropped bad. Nice idea though and so more different obstacle types would definitely make it more fun.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it. When I first set it up I noticed I could push the dust, I was going to take that off but I thought it might be kinda cool to be able to push them away if you're about to die, turns out everyone is just confused by it and when they build up it just crashes the game lol. Once the rating period is over I am going to change that, fix the bugs, add more obstacles/enemies types and some nice effects.

Loved your take on the theme. Was fun. I like these infinite runner type games (see mine) Music and art went well together and the mechanics were good. I think I only lasted around 30 seconds... will go back and try to beat that later.

Good job!

Could you please play and rate my game too?

Good game, I have fun playing it. You can push the  mountain dust and is kinda weird and maybe more variation of obstacles would be nice. Anyways Good Job.

Developer

Thanks!

Hey, nice game! I like the concept and I like endless runners like these that so unique! Good job!

Developer

Thank you so much, your game was amazing, would love to collab at some point. I am just getting into game Dev but have been an artist since I was very young so if you need a 2D artist, let me know.

Nice runner. Music and graphics are chill. The screen is small enough that jumping over the obstacles is mostly reaction rather than planning. Also, you can keep jumping and moving while off-screen. I think I broke your game b/c I probably ran off the platform off screen and dived down to infinity lol

ahhh, I know! Lol, I needed to implement a boundary for the player but I ran out of time.. thanks for playing and your feedback. I'll be adding much more after the review time..๐Ÿ˜

Cool endless runner, I had fun and with a couple more dynamics it would be Awesome,
Great visuals and Great Audio and for a first game the flow is very good to.

I made a quick adventure, you may like come over and give it a squizz if you like.>

Thank you so much! I will be adding more to it after the review period. :D

I liked the concept, I like the infinite runners, it's a lot of fun. Good job !

Great idea theme-wise! Not sure if I just bugged out, but I was able to just hold right off-screen and spam jump. Then I just watched the game play itself for a minute, as I never came back on screen.

Developer

Thank you! And yea that's one of those things I wanted to fix but just didn't have the time. Glad someone found that lol..๐Ÿ˜† I'll fix that and many other things after the review period. ๐Ÿ˜

Hi, i've played and rated your game. Its fun to play, but for the next time, change the weights of the  huge dust piles. Now you can just push them away. And i think thats not the goal of the game. But nevertheless, good job!

Developer (1 edit)

thank you for your feedback.

I love how simple it is. I only have two things to judge. Making the reel affecting the player would have been nice and clearer shapes/outlines of the dust-obstacles +  varierty of them. But I had fun, the movement felt really clean and good. Nice job!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you so much for your feedback. The Reel does kill the player, if you mean the film floor, I know and really wanted to implement that,  I just didn't have the time. I may fix that and add more enemies as well after the reviewing period..๐Ÿ˜

Submitted(+1)

Yeeh the film floor!  So that you have to move against a force! I am looking forward to updates! I will definetly check it out!

Submitted(+1)

Enjoyed the mechanics of the game. Nice Job! Enjoyed the theme and color scheme. Keep it up!

I'd love to hear your input on my submission, I'm going to be continuing it after the jam so and criticisms / suggestions / feedback are welcome!

Developer

thank you so much, I'll check it out.. ๐Ÿ˜

Really fun infinite runner style game. Liked the art style and theme a lot, great job, esp with one dev working alone

Developer

thank you so much as this is my first game ever. I'm a Web developer by trade but I've always really wanted to get into game dev, I decided to start learning C# and unity about 3 weeks ago and heard a lot of devs saying to do as many jams as possible so I decided to try, this was a very tiring week doing the jam after work every day but so worth it.

Go to 58 before it started to slow down and then just kind of froze.  Still really enjoyed playing it!

Developer

Thanks, yea I am not sure why that is happening to some people, it is working fine for me and some other people I talked to.. Either way I really appreciate your feedback, this was my first game and game jam.
