Attention all players!

 I have realized that it isn’t very obvious, but you can double jump in this game. I’m trying my best to let all players know so that they can hopefully have the best time playing!

Submitted

Fun game, liked the random events coming in to your way to stop. Unique interpretation of loop. My only minor nitpick is that the disable earthquake switch kept turning off when i died. but that wasn’t a big deal.

Glad you enjoyed it! If thats your only nitpick, I don't think we can really complain. Thank you! 

Developer

Good to know! I’ll try to get that fixed after the jam!

I had a great time with this! I'm glad you noted in the description that you could double-jump! I had no idea the first 12 or so deaths! 

Atleast you figured out you could double jump 😅, glad you enjoyed the game!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed and even played 12+ times! I was not expecting to get so much player retention!

Submitted

fun game! feels very polished, I think the idea of the radio jammer event is really interesting and a great addition

Glad you enjoyed it, maybe you'll be back to play some more?

Developer

Thank you! I also thought the radio jammer  idea was quite unique!

Submitted

Really nice game!! Love the concept and I think you executed it really well. Kept getting further and further but I couldn't make it to 13,000 to unlock the cheats :/

My only critique is that it felt a little too difficult to jump between carts. Maybe give the player a slightly higher jump or more left/right control.

Overall really nice work! And cool to see other ferris wheel games in the jam

Developer

I’m glad you liked it! Did you realize you have the ability to double jump? A lot of people have been missing that unfortunately. 

Submitted

I did not! My brain glossed over that in the instructions and I somehow never tried it haha

Gonna have to give it a couple more goes and see if I can unlock the cheats

Developer

Awesome! I’ve updated the game description to hopefully get more people to realize they can double jump!

Submitted

Really fun game, the different disasters and level of difficulty is really good. The artwork is very clean as well. 

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you thought it was fun

Thank you man, im really glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

I'll admit, it took me a while to figure out you could double jump, but once I learned that, the game was a lot of fun. The cheats are a nice little addon once you get far enough. Cool concept!

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the game and the cheats menu! Yeah, I probably could have made it a bit more clear you can double jump (it only says it in the controls).

Submitted

the art is lovely and the idea is super creative! this feels heavily inspired by natural disaster survival but you've clearly expanded and developed the concept to make a completely original experience.

Developer

Thank you! I did take a bit of inspiration from natural disaster survival, but I definitely tried to make it my own unique experience! I'm glad you liked the idea!

Submitted

This is awesome little game! It's really polished and complete, especially for a first game jam!

Developer(+1)

I keep accidentally misleading people into thinking this is my first game jam. It is not. It is the first time I've done the GMTK game jam! Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

The game idea is nuts!

Developer

😁 Thank you!

What a fun game! Very impressed with the screen transitions, the menus and accessibility options, just the overall polish of it was fantastic to see in a 4 day game jam!

Developer

Thanks, I appreciate your comment! I tried my best to make the game polished so I'm glad you liked that!

Submitted

Daaaamn I liked this one. Did you get inspired by the Roblox/Minecraft distarer games? Got killed by the direction switch. Got a score of 11K. The movement feels nice! Good Job!

Developer

Thanks! Yes I would say I was a bit inspired by Natural Disaster Survival on Roblox!

Submitted

Really cool and complete game! The disasters make it really chaotic (in a good way). The bump when hitting the carts could be lighter, as it often ends my runs.

Thank you man, we put a lot of effort into this.

Submitted

Really cool concept and great execution. The movements were a little hard to control at first but after some times it was really fun to play!

Im glad you liked it man, thank you.

Submitted

Nice game with a unique take on the theme! The art is perfect for this kind of game. I wish it was clearer that you could double jump, because this was game changing. Anyway, both the music and sound effects made the experience great! Good job!

Im glad you enjoyed the game man but under the web browsers game description it says "jump/double jump" so it is mentioned. But thank you 

Submitted

Oh, you are correct. Sorry about that!

Submitted

This would be a great mini game in like Mario party or something. Great job!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

really fun game. I also thought the idea was super novel. High level winds are my op.

Developer

😅 Thank you! I appreciate it!

Submitted

This is really cool and so well executed! Love the aestetic, the radio made me chuckle. Very impressed by how much content there is here

Thank you man, im glad you enjoyed it 

Submitted

Very strong entry, really polished! Definitely coming back to play some more later :)

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it!

Fun survival game! I loved the kinda wooden panel slide-in transitions at the end that made me smile. Very good mechanics, the radio, the meteor path indicators, and I haven't even unlocked everything yet!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you enjoyed! All your progress should save, so if you ever want to come back feel free!
