I loved the art and presentation I honestly think you should make it into a mobile game.

Tough it was really easy and takes a long time to get interesting I feel like if you are going to make it on mobile make it more like Flappy Birds in the way that it is instantly challenging cause now the player will propably get bored and quit.

Overall great game and the theme was really clever, hope you bring it to mobile.

I can't play right now because it is 10:21 PM, but it is precisely because of that reason that I think this submission is pretty good. This is truly one of the most thematic games I've seen in the jam so far-- because the gameplay is currently locked outside of my control! haha. Good job.

I like the idea of the sunrise api and that you can only play the game when the sun is up. It's a nice implementation of it being not in your control, but in control of your environment. Also the walls seem procedurally generated which looks nice. I would have made it a bit more difficult though, there are many segments where I could go straight for a long time without any issues. but that is all fine tuning, for which there is never enough time during a jam.  Some collectibles on the way could also be a cute addition for the future, collectibles that grow  a flower, or boost your speed for example. Overall, nicely done!

Nice game, the idea of the game is really cool. I also rated your game, so if you could try out and rate my game that would mean a lot :)

I really like the idea that when you can play is out of your control

unique idea but a game requesting my location is a bit iffy (i'm not saying you have bad intentions!)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! 

Yeah ideally I'd have put the location request behind a question as you boot up the game (but sadly time got the better of me!)

You can refuse the location if you don't feel comfortable with it (I understand!) and it'll just use some default sunrise and sunset times (6am and 6pm).
