Team members
we were 3. artist: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alon-satuchne-99a566231/ programmer: https://omri-mizrahi.itch.io/ , and me, which i did most of the programming, some of the art and all sound related.

Software used
unity, ableton, aseprite, pixel fx designer, photoshop, audacity, sfxr.

Use of the limitation
we took the flash games era genre of an endless runner that you have to do a few rounds to upgrade yourself until you are op, but here the upgrades die out with time, and you have a limited amount of rounds, because the player character dies. its also incorporated into the story.

Cookies eaten
probably around 30, lost count at 1.

I couldn't figure out how to get far at all; I tried many different combinations of pressing space, holding space, mashing space, spacing out my uses of space- but I would always just drop quickly.

What is the strategy?

Hi! thanks a lot for playing my game even tho it is in such an ugly state. I have now updated the game with some ui to better explain what is going on after you pressed space. In short, pressing space makes you jump. jumping consecutively reduces your stamina and makes the jumps weaker. holding space initiates a dive, which gives you speed but reduces height fast.

I was able to play the game properly this time! But I think I broke it. I was going at 300+ mph and descending at rapid velocity so I could cash in my 1400 points and then I'm pretty sure I clipped through the killbox at the bottom LMAO. It was fun to play once I figured it out! I liked how the sprites  changed wtih your upgrades, and going insanely fast was sweet.

lol nice. yea i also clipped through the killbox so i now made it significantly bigger. also polished some stuff around and definitely toned down some of the upgrades. You can still go super fast pretty easily after you but a few upgrades but not as ridiculously fast as before. thanks for playing!

I really like the idea of this game, but I got to age 9 and could never figure out how to collect any coins to use the upgrade shop, they always seemed to disappear before I could get close.

Developer

hi! thanks for playing my game. cool that you got to age 9. you said the coins disappeared? i wasn't aware of this bug. could you explain it in more detail?

Submitted(+1)

I just loaded it up again to confirm what I was seeing. I saw no coins appear for the first few ages, then they appear above the wooden looking platform, in a row of 3 coins. When I get to about half a screen away, all 3 disappear at once and I am unable to collect them.

Developer

okay.. quite unsure of whats happening there, but either way i just uploaded a new build and tested it, i dont think that bug exists anymore, the coins seems to be working fine.
