Honestly, really well done! Polished and simple, I like it! Level design is tight, too, not every level can be completed first-try! All the art is great, I really love the parallax effect in the background! Also, sound effects and music choice is great here, too! Awesome job for a first major game!

Thanks so much!
i have made a few little prototypes before, and i have a lot of previous game experience from Scratch when i was younger, and I've been doing a lot of art for a long time
so it's my first major game, but I've had a lot of previous practice :)
btw i tried your game it was really fun minus being extremely difficult :D
Really nice game. I loved the roller coaster effect when you are going up a big hill with anticipation of what coming next. And i like the dead end with some grafity in level 3 haha.
Honestly, for a first game jam this is some amazingly high quality stuff. Most first jammers tend to aim for scopes too large to be done reasonably well in the time given, but you kept to something small and fun so that you could polish it to a tee, and its 100% paid off so well. The music is so jazzy and fits the whole cozy skating so well, and the pixel art is stellar! (You even kept everything to the right scaling :D) Also the SFX of the skating is surprisingly nice too, like oooo it tickles my brain
If I were to find areas of improvement, it'd just be small minute things. For example, having a simple animation/alt sprite of a button being pressed down helps gives buttons some tactility (if thats the right word), so yknow they feel like actual buttons.
I guess another thing from an art perspective is that I'm not sure if the bird needs an outline, as the bright colours contrast really well with the darker orange background, so its already pretty visible! Adding the outline kinda makes it feel like its from a different game, as nothing else bar the title is outlined. Again, its a minor thing, so not something to worry about.
In the end I'd just love to see more of this! More levels, biomes, skateboard styles, a few animations of the bird doing tricks and such, etc. You've got a really nice chill game here thats really enjoyable, and I'd love to see you take it further!
Simple and fun! Big fan of the very forgiving physics of this skateboard. My only want is that I could see a bit further forward and down to be able to time my jumps/falls.
Simple yet addictive gameplay. I couldn't stop until I beat every level. Wonderful work!!
such an awesome little game! Impressive in so many ways. Can’t wait to see what you do next
Holy crap this is really good. And your first game jam??? Well done!
Loved the music, sound and art! Would love to be able to see a bit farther ahead though, was pretty hard to prepare for some of the jumps. Great job!
Wow this is really polished and well done! Love the parallax trees in the background and the cute little character. Big fan, really fun short and captures the fun of the jam. Great job!
Really nice game! I had fun playing this and it worked very smoothly. I liked the palette and you polished the details really well (parallax, screen transitions, the low-pass filter on crashes, etc.). I also liked how there was an alternative path to take. In further development, you might consider rewarding the player (in points or similar) for moving more quickly through the board, or add jumps that require speed; as it stands, it felt like a benefit to skate in a way that slowed you down (e.g., riding through bumps rather than jump them, hitting lips, etc.), so that the difficult jumps didn't come at you so fast. Then again, maybe that would kill the chill vibe that people have enjoyed...
Nice job!
Loveeee this game, super relaxing and love the main character! Could totally see myself playing this game every day if it was eventually ported to be a phone game haha!
This is a super good game! I love how you can gain momentum and the, music, SFX, and art are super good. My only feedback is that the game could use coyote time and a bigger FOV. Great job!
This was really cool, good entry.
My only feedback is the start menu shouldn't move that much. The buttons moving aways feels like the game doesn't want to be played haha
Really fun game! Found that the player will continue to animate and play the skating sound if you pause on the Level Failed screen, in case you weren't aware. Really great game though.
