Use of the limitation
From a narrative point of view, the protagonist is a penguin on a unicycle, if a unicycle stops moving it falls. In the core gameplay you have to always move and reverse your speed to grab the rocks so you will keep moving or you lose/don't pick up rocks. Even if you do stop moving, the character will move itself in a pendulum pattern so that it doesn't stop (it's not only an animation, it actually sets the velocity).

What an original concept! It's a really nice presentation and storytelling that you did. It could be great to write the infos on the jam page about the rules and controls too.

Nice job!

Oh right, we were very tired so we didn't give enough love to the Jam page :( Will do. Thanks for your feedback and for playing!

Cute little game - was having trouble with power ups until the realisation about backing up came!

Developer

You mean it wasn't clear enough that you had to bend down to get the Powerups? Thank you for your feedback :)

Yea, exactly - potentially my own fault

Developer

Not at all. It is our job to make instructions clear :D

Cute artwork, and props on the clear instructions. I think with a little more time this could be a really neat concept. Congrats!

Developer

Thank you very much for playing :) Any suggestions on what to work on with a little more time? :D
