I agree with disguised it's fun but for a few minutes... But i like that you took the theme a made a game were there are no out of control game mechanics but just the background "story" means out of control :D I loled at that :D

It's fun, but just for a few minutes, then it gets too repetitive. Also don't quite understand where the "Out of Control" is here.  However I did enjoy it.

Thank you for the feedback! The "out of control" theme is fit because a "kangaroo market" describes when stock prices are jumping up and down in a way that is erratic and highly unpredictable, unlike a "bull market" (trending up) or a "bear market" (trending down).

I liked the idea. Maybe it could be more difficult, I found that holding right and jump was the best strategy.

Great idea to link market to "out of control"! The game is quickly repetitive.

Pretty good! The only thing I find odd is that the controls use A and D to run, but both buttons move you in the same direction. Besides this it was quite fun.

Not bad overall! I think the biggest stumbling block was how massive the level. Nice audio design, the game looks quite good, I will admit that I did not complete this game, but I got to 200+ coins before quitting. The level is way too long, imo

Thanks for the feedback! The levels are infinitely generated though.
