How does your game fit the theme?
In this game you have to build a level WHILE also running through it as an endless runner... the gameplay gets out of control pretty quickly.

I really like this idea, a lot of small fixes could be done to this, but it's a really unique concept that makes total sense! I think if it was more of a tile-based/grid-based map, it would be easier to place parts of the map.

Really cool idea and great execution. really hard to play and look at the mini map at the same time. I would like for the mini map stay open when you die :3

very unique submission, liked the style a lot, the rocket controls are super fun and has a nice presentation.  Some minimal fixes could improve the gameplay, like placing floors just by clicking the desired destination on the cellphone, instead of dragging it and dying shouldn't hide the phone. Also the placing animation on the phone makes it a bit confusing. Overall an original and fun surreal game

Yeah it was really out of control! The controls were hard, the concept itself was really out of control! Fits perfectly into the theme! Great job! This game makes me go YES!

I thought it was really hard to control and I wish there was a smoother progression or more space where I could learn without dying so much.

It was really nice to see a game made with Unreal. The character is absolutely ridiculous, with nice effects and an original idea! You have something that can be become a very interesting game! Try making other levels and show them to people! If do make other levels, let me know!

glad you like the concept! the game turned out kinda overscoped, so I kinda threw random blocks into the level at the end (luckily the collectible tiles and checkpoints are placed procedurally at least).

I definitely hope to have time to work on some post jam content later on :D

I don't know where you came up with this idea for a rocket with legs that neighs like a horse, but my god lol. It's a cool concept that takes a little while to get used to but feels pretty good after. As an endless runner there should be something that tracks your distance/score shown on screen somewhere (maybe I just didn't see it). Also I don't think the phone should automatically be put away when you die if you had it out beforehand. I pretty much always had it up so maybe it should have just been a permanent part of the HUD.

 very glad you like it xD can’t take credit for the rocket tho, pretty much ripped the idea from rayman 2 :p
