Nice work especially not using an engine, I did keep falling through the ground though, i dont think thats supposed to happen? maybe it is though. Either way nice work for making a game from scratch. I played it on my livestream tonight you can see here if you would like 

Submitted

Simple and addictive. It's nice that you can judge which box is good and which is bad, but the speed of the gameplay still makes you sometimes take the wrong one.

I admire you did it with your own engine!

Submitted

Fun!

Were the platforms and mobs randomly generated?

Nice game, missing the sound etc but a decent retro endless runner.

Submitted

Good game!!  Perhaps a little fast at the beginning.  Good work!!

Submitted

Super hard, but that's a good thing! Its really good arcadey fun. I did fall through the floor once and was able to just let it run forever. One more thing. How come we never play night crawlers anymore?

Submitted

Both fun and difficult. Missing sound but otherwise everything is just great. First time i've ever seen a game so small. 98kb. That just blows my mind. ^mb uncompressed  but i didnt even know that was possible. Well done.

Developer

Thanks,

Ye the only reason why it is ~6mb's uncompressed was, because I did not really compress the asset's in any way.

Fantastic visuals, tough level design, jumps were a little tricky sometimes making it neccesary to be careful and the pressure of the huge monster directly behind you is great.

Developer

Thanks man!

619 highscore! Am I winning? I loved the pixel graphics, especially the monster. I didn't hear any sound, I hope that wasn't on my end.

Developer

No, I have not been able to add sound to it yet.

Submitted

Got 367 highscore, it's hard. Though I liked when the speed increases whenever I collect a chest :)

Did you use vanilla or framework like SDL2?

Developer

I used a custom "engine" I wrote.

You can check out the code on github.

Submitted

Wow that is pretty impressive!

Very good job :)

Submitted

Dunno how it fits the theme. Interesting game. REALLY couldn't get the chest when things went faster. A nice and simple game.

Developer(+1)

Thanks,

Yes I agree it get's impossible to hit the jump.

Submitted

Maybe increase the force downward to make the jump punchier so it feels like there is more weight and makes it possible (but still challenging)? Nice work overall. Good job!

Had problems with the download

What was your issue ?
