Great idea! Loved the concept, game and the wilhelm scream :)

Biketris is hybrid of a block-stacking puzzle and endless runner.

I don't consider art/design my greatest skill, so glad to see that hours of trying to make it look anything close passable have been noticed :)
And I agree, the playtesting took back stage while I was spending last week on getting it working in HTML version to make the jam deadline.
Thank you again for playing! :)
Oh, like how close you can place blocks re biker? I did not even think about that, very good point! Because the way I've done the biker logic, technically you could get blocks in line to make him go up one row, but because check says it needs to boost one block before the raise, it'll still crash - in the end I thought it was very edge case and it was more important to polish other bits, mainly get HTML build running more smoothly.
Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it :)
I really like the concept. I think it really is a great spin on tetris and works great for the theme as a hybrid. Art work is good too, my only issue is the first parallax layer with the trees. Something off about it and I can't tell what. Maybe the speed? Maybe the dithering?

Go Pong YourselfGlad you enjoyed it :)
Yeah trees are a bit weird one. I did them fairly early on and ended up tweaking all other things and left trees as not that important to gameplay.
It moves 2px at the same time blocks move 1px. At some point I had it so it moves 1px half the waiting time, but it started flickering with dither, so this seemed like more graceful way of doing it.
The colours and foreground/background are clashing a little bit too, so I agree, there's definitely room for more polish :)
Again, thank you for playing!
