In what way does your game fit the theme?
The game it self is nothing but chaos! Asteroids, rockets flying everywhere while you try your best to save your wife.
Don't get me started on the spaghetti code behind it...
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes I wrote all the code and developed the whole game.
My partner did the art.

This game is awesome - i especially love the art - a few things i think could be improved is that:
- The ui doesn't scale to my aspect ratio
- the credits page can't be quit out of - tho im pretty sure this is cus of the above
- also the font is a bit hard to read maybe black and white text on a red background might work better
Apart from that i really like it - reminds me of old friv games (i think it was friv that had these i can never remember)
Thank you so much for the feedback! We will make changes according to your comment. :)
Good job completing the jam.
It's a bit hard to tell which objects have to be jumped over and which have to be smashed, but overall good work.
Yeah, there seems to be a lot of complaints about that. We'll make sure to fix that wtih a better how to play menu.
This is a pretty fun game. The gameplay is simple, but I like how there are different obstacles to avoid and the music fits the game well. But I did have problems with determining how to avoid certain obstacles, like the missile. I didn't know they could be smashed until I read the comments. But aside from that I still think this is a solid game. Good job!
Yeah it seems like that this is one of our main issue currently that needs a fix. I'll be working on a better how to play section that clearly tells what to do with every obstacle.
Thank you for your feedback!
Hey, well done for completing the jam. Have put up my rating. Simple but fun game loop. That first asteroid seems to kill me straight away around 90% of the time. :-)
Thank you! :)
Decent game, tho i agree had to do a few runs to experiment with what's what, and i read the how to play page, and i would suggest rather on making fonts look stylish you should focus on readability, it would help you a lot in the long run. Keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback! The updated version will have a much clearer how to play section for sure. :)
I really agree with Tinqu. It's quite hard to tell should I jump or smash the obstacles. Maybe you could add a small instruction on the page.
It's cool to smash the missile tho! You could add a special effect for that :)
Yeah, we will definitely add better instructions. :)
We really wanted to add special effects but didn't have time. :(
Thank you for your feedback!
Nice game, but I had some trouble figuring out what to do with which obstacles. The astroids can be smashed but cars cannot. Torches seemed to kill me regardless of what I did.
Yeah I see your issue. I was planning to add some short descriptions to the obstacles but I forgot...
You should be able to smash cars as well, I dunno what went wrong there.
Thanks for the feedback!
great
Very fun idea, I liked the game, although it starts a little slow, it ramps up quite nicely and the gameplay although a little repetitive is very fun overall :D
I think the concept was hilarious and unique! Even though the gameplay is inherently repetitive, I really didn't mind since that's kinda the point of endless runners like Temple Run etc and I played those for hours. Super solid game overall.
side note: bopping music!
Thanks! We might add changing scenery in the future.
Nice game! The theme is nice and it definitely has the potential to be something more! I recommend you update it a bit.
Things I would recommend doing:
- I think the obstacles should appear a bit more frequently. In the beginning, it feels a bit too slow.
- The "Restart" button has to be pressed by using a mouse even though the gameplay requires you to have both hands on the keyboard. Would be nice to be able to press restart with space and/ or enter button.
- Next time try to make a WebGL build because people prefer to play those.
Overall I enjoyed this game!
I've played this game because I saw you were looking for few more reviews to get 20 (on the community page). Would be great If you could do the same to my game.
Thanks for the great feedback! We had a lot of issues with timing the obstacles. The got so packed together after a while that it was impossible to avoid them. But we'll try to make some fixes. The restar button needs that update, you're absolutely right! We tried the WebGL build but for some strange reason if we did that, the keyboard was not responding to the game.
We're planning to have some updates and bug fixes, thank you once again!
cool game
Fun game although after the first minute or so it becomes a bit repetitive. I suggest adding some form of a progression system, where as the level goes on you encounter more obstacles. I also was able to do it without ever needing to use the down function, so consider adding some obstacles that force the player to do that. Nice experience overall!
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, we had a lot of ideas to add but didn't have the time and skill to implement them sadly.
Thank you very much for playing!
Good job I like it. How did you come up with the concept?
Thanks! My friend is a mad scientist brainstormer he always has silly and interesting ideas.
Had a bit of difficulty getting a proper run going but I just suck :c
No worries! It gave us a bit of a challenge as well!
Amazing game! Enjoyed it :)
Keep going👍
Thank you! :)
Nice game! But i didn't like font of texts. Because it creates big mess. But your game is good! Well done!
Noted! Thanks for the feedback! :)
it was funny but i loose my wife :)
test my
Haha! We planned on adding a score limit where you actually win but we ran out of time.
Love the art style, I felt that the collisions could have been tweak, but apart from that, great stuff. I would love to hear what you think of my entry.
Yeaaah, we had a lot of confusion going on with collisions the whole time and couldn't figure out the exact issues.
Gotta check your entry as well! Thanks for the feedback. :)
It's nice :)
You should probably add a pause menu because as time passes, it's always harder to focus ! ;)
Otherwise it's fun and it sticks to the theme !
Thanks ;)
Thanks for your feedback, appreciate it! :)
