Specific Game Parody

How is your game meta (within each relevant category)?
It is similar to the forward scrolling 3d bonus stages for the Sega Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast. As can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np76lPXKfCo

Anything you want to say to players before they play?
Have fun and you Gotta Go Faster!

How to Play:

Use the Left / Right arrows to move around as you run forward and collect carrots and avoid bombs!

For each carrot you get 100 points.

Get 1,000 points to get a star. (Stars are used to unlock the next Level)

You need 3,000 points in Level 1 to unlock Level 2

You need 5,000 points in Level 2 to unlock Level 3

There are only 3 levels.

The clock in the upper right corner is actually a countdown until a speedup.

So each time the counter changes (say from 1 to 2), the screen will briefly display a "speed up" message and the levels speed will increase slightly.

Played it on Windows - it's very well-polished! Very tricky though, especially because the controls feel a bit 'slippery' so it's hard to get to the precise point you want to move to (and smaller hitboxes for the bombs would help too)!

Enjoyed this a lot. It's exactly the sort of game that I'm terrible at, but will keep trying anyway. Didn't manage to beat even stage 1, but I had fun.

One suggestion, that I probably ought to make to everyone but am mostly bothering because I don't plan to delete this one, is that it'd be really nice to have an exit button. The game defaults to fullscreen, so I have to use alt-f4 to leave.

I'm sorry that I didn't test my Mac version before uploading. I will try to post a WebGL build after voting is over, and try to reupload my Mac version.

I really enjoyed this concept, very well put together. Very nostalgic! The stages get really very clostrophobic and impossible at higher speeds. I don't know if this can be adjusted but the rate of movement doesn't scale and it makes it super impossible. Maybe that's the point! But very well done! Also, what does the clock do?

I apologize for not responding sooner!

I will look into seeing if I can figure out how to adjust the movement speed as the level speeds up.

Cheers!

This one gave me some major Sonic 2 bonus stage nostalgia. Its not very clear how your score translates into stars though, and I didn't manage to get very far in terms of stages, what I played was pretty basic but still fun.

I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner or put this information in the description, (which I will now).

So for each carrot you get 100 points.

Get 1,000 points to get a star.

You need 3,000 points in Level 1 to unlock Level 2

You need 5,000 points in Level 2 to unlock Level 3

There are only 3 levels.

Hopes this clears things up!

Cheers!
