Enjoyed this, It's a simple yet unique endless game. I think it would work well as a mobile game. Congratulations!
Thanks for your comment, it means a lot :-D We are considering maybe pushing for a mobile release in the future, so it is definitely not unlikely! We're glad you had fun playing :-)
Not a problem. That's great news, If you do let me know, I'll be sure to download it to my phone.
This is a great experience! Would love to even spend a whole day playing this to get all the items! It's very fun and engaging. Looks good and sounds good!
Thanks guys for an amazing game!
Thanks a bunch for the kind words! We're glad you had a good time with the game :D We'll look into an update following the jam which I think will be a great time to try for some of the items haha :-D
Awesome game. Got all my upgrades but took too long to buy a bath hahaha. Great submission. Well done.
Thanks for the kind words! I think the economy could definitely use a balance patch to make sure the players get a chance to try out some different cosmetics. We'll look into improving that in a future update :-D Thanks for playing!
Awesome idle-progression game with good graphics and endless play! Lots to love here including the simple graphics, sound - all adds to a unified feel. Rising through the ground with intro screen was a nice touch. Felt very good to play :D
Thanks a bunch, it means a lot :D The intro screen cinematic was one of the foundational ideas, that we really wanted to pull together (And barely managed to, it was one of the last implementations before we submitted the game) but we're really happy with how it turned out! Thanks for playing, we're glad you had a good experience with the game :-)
so much fun in the game and cute level design.
Have a look for my little game:(.
Thanks a bunch for your comment! I've added your game to my list of next games to take a look at, so I'll stop by soon! :-D
Great job submitting a game for the jam! I appreciated the tutorial, but I wish I could have skipped it after I was done reading to keep going. Had fun playing once it got going!
Thanks for you message and super valid feedback also! We'll do what we can to try and improve the tutorial experience in a future update :-)
Great work—there’s not much more to say! One small piece of feedback: after a jump, I often found myself tipping forward. I think it’d be cool if you could also flip in that direction. But I totally get the choice to keep it on one button. For just a few days of work, this is really impressive!
Thanks for you comment, front flipping was definitely a recurring subject for several days (and maybe still is) during the development, but we really wanted to push for the idea of a single-input system with a clean interface, which is why we ended with just the back flip. However, it's not off the table for future updates. Maybe we'll make it so different minecarts can do different types of tricks perhaps? Anyways, thanks for playing, we're glad you liked the game :-)
Really well done!! I loved the 1 time slomo and it saved where you left on for record AND knew if you past the tutorial check, a great project and well done!
Thanks for the comment, and awesome you got to experience that :D We really tried to take different scenarios into account and didn't want players to go through the tutorial again! So awesome you liked it, and thanks for playing :D
Nice polished game. Good music choice. Slight panic every time I caught air.
Love it!
Thanks for the kind words, we hope that we have hit a good balance between panic of flying and joy when landing :D
Loved the music choice and the simple but effective control scheme, nice job!
Thanks for your message, the music was kind of a happy accident! We couldn't find the kind of music we were looking for originally, so we tried the surf track out as an alternative solution, and it just seemed to work really well :D
Very fun game, Remind me some mobile game I played a lot.
Great work :)
That sounds awesome! Thanks for playing and the kind words, we're glad you had fun :-)
Even though I am horrible at platformers, this is a good take on one. Well done!
Thanks a bunch, it means a lot :D
Damn, great game, one of the best submissions i've played. Super fun gameplay that reminds me of those mobile games pre enshitification of mobile games like jrtpack joyride or climb the hill, coherent and good looking art, a ton of upgrades, oh and the intro is super clean!
Wow thanks for such an awesome comment! We used both jetpack joyride and climb the hill as reference material in putting the game together, so it means a lot that you can see that shine through. Thanks a ton for playing and taking time writing :D
Really cute game idea! Loved the art work. The tutorial slowing down time kind of threw me off for the real game, but I was able to go for a bit; just wasn't sure if the TNT ever actually exploded from being held too long. Great job!
Thanks for the feedback, we'll look into improving your points in a future update. Thanks for writing and playing :D
It's fun. bit tricky to get the jump mechanic down.
Takes a bit to get a feel of it, and it can also impact on what the level algorithm decides to throw at you :D But we're glad you had fun and are super grateful for your comment!
Very cool little addictive game. Sometimes I got confused during the tutorial if it was doing things but overall pretty fun. Only scored 50 gold tho
Thanks a bunch :D We'll definitely look into improving the tutorial in the coming update!
Nothing to complaint unless for the tutorial which I can't skipped however the game was sooo fun. Full star
Thanks for commenting! Your feedback is duly noted and hopefully we can improve it in the next update :D Thanks for playing also!
It was super fun, I only got an issue with the tutorial because I had to wait for them to disappear, so I missed some of the first things to do. But, it's the beginning so it's okay !
Thanks a ton for the comment and for playing :D And thanks for the feedback point regarding the tutorial, we will look into improving it for the next update :D
The art was soooo good! The shop was really cool too. It would be nice if I pressed space, it would speed up the tutorial parts.
Thanks for playing and the feedback! For the next update we will definitely look into improving the tutorial so you can get to the game play faster! :D
Super fun gameplay, I could see myself playing this on the phone while sitting on the toilet, in bus, and while driving. Amazing game!
Haha thanks for the comment! Maybe we should add an auto-rider function so you can let it run as all times :D
