I've had fun playing the game. I usually don't press restart button but you have me restarted for like 10 times in a row. It's unbelievable making this in a week. Good job!

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for playing!

Pretty fun! For some reason I can't jump while holding both A and W, which ruined a couple runs. Collision was a bit awkward, I got hit in the air pretty often and one time went out of bounds, so I had to slow down before jumps. In the end I got a 51.710 run

Thanks for playing! Since uploading I have found that somehow there were exactly 3 map tiles without collision... no idea what happened there, but I have fixed it.

For being hit in the air, you may have fallen victim to a somewhat rare bug that has also been fixed in my local build. The fish from the main menu screen was triggering a jump signal that only the player fish should have been triggering. So if the main menu fish finished a jump when you were midair and hovering over a log or piece of trash, collision was turned back on and you got hit 😂 

Not sure what the deal is with you not being able to jump while holding A and W though. Was this with the web or .exe build? And if the web, which browser?

Web build, firefox. Also it was not A and W but arrow keys, as I found playing this way easier
