Unfortunately, I could not run this game properly on my potato laptop, but looks interesting. Good job! :)

Developer

Oh that's a shame, I'll try to make a graphics setting on the next update.

Thanks for your feedback

Submitted

Good simple concept for a game jam and easy to get into! Had fun grabbing brains :)

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for trying it out

Submitted

Well done ! It made me think about Guitar Hero when the zombie gets too fast and the only way to follow is to look at the Zombie itself :D

Great solo work !

Developer

Haha I loved guitar hero back in the day.

Thanks for trying it out

Nice zombie runner!  Nice work with the chomp sound effect.  I collected over a 100 brains :D  Got a bit dizzy at first when the speed went to max but adjusted after a minute. It's actually harder to die as it gets faster and tested this by not jumping at all and not falling into a hole for a while.

Developer(+1)

Yeah I'm gonna need to increase the size of the gaps when it speeds up.

Thanks for the feedback and giving it a go

Submitted

Really loved playing this!
I love a good runner and this helped scratch an itch I've had for a long time!
You've done an amazing job!

Developer

Thanks very much for giving it a go

This reminds me of temple run. Could use a bit of music and the blur effect seems too strong. When the player starts to get momentum, it gets a bit dis orientating for the eye to see. 
Overall, good job!

Thanks very much for the constructive criticism. 

I'll be addressing the blur issue on the next update as quite a few people have mentioned it and I fully intended to add some background music but I ran out of time.

Thanks so much for giving it a go, and leaving a comment

That's a great runner and the graphics are so pretty. It got to the point I was afraid of jumping for a brain in case a hole appeared. haha Really good job.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much for the kind comment, and also giving my game a try

Submitted

Great runner game! I think the motion blur was a bit much and I had some input delay with my laptop. For a first submission and no tutorial support this is really impressive. I can't wait to see what you do next!

Developer

Thanks so much for the positive comment and giving my game a shot.

A few people have mentioned about the motion blur, I'll defiantly try to fix it in the update after the jam has finished  

Submitted

This was a really fun runner game! Also, I think it's amazing that you programmed all of this without the need or assistance of a single tutorial! This is very impressive and I really admire your effort \(^_^)/ Congratulations on the amazing game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks very much for giving it a try and the awesome feed back

Submitted

Nice job.  Good to see someone else posting a game made with UE. =]

Some nice background music and a jump sound effect would fill in some of the audio 'gaps'.  Also, the jump input felt delayed or occasionally didn't work at all.  

I'd actually prefer if the game play was in in 3D instead of a side-scroller.  There's also an old endless runner tutorial for UE4 on YouTube that shows how to generate random tiles in 3D as the runner progresses if you're interested.

Developer

Thanks very much for giving it a go, and for the helpful feedback.

I fully intended to have background music and more sound effects along with a list of other things I wanted to put in, unfortunately I spent way too much time on trying to fix the jumping bug and trying to get the animation looking better.

Thanks, I'll have a look at the YouTube tut, I will 100% learn something from it as I'm only just starting out with game dev

This is a great first Jam Game. It is a good little endless runner. That felt like a "World War Z" zombie. He be bookin' so fast that he should have left a fire trail. Good Job! Keep it up. 

Developer

Thanks very much for the awesome feedback and of course playing my game

Submitted

Nice game. congratulations on your submission.

Cool little runner, managed 101 brains, by that point the motion blur was ready to eat the world. But it's a great start, add a background make it speed up even more and it shoudl be quite solid! Cheers!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback and giving it a go.

I fully intended to build up the background, make it harder as time went on etc, but I didn't really know what I was doing and ran out of time.

I'm still working on it now, once the Jam is over I'll update it.

Submitted

The picture is a little blurry for me, but run and jump game with zombie is very fun :)
