This is a cute little game.

The art is good, and the sound effects/music complement the game quite well. Though the upgrades don't really change much besides buffing stats, they are very funny and cute. This game is pure vibes, from start to finish.

I will say that hitting obstacles doesn't feel very punishing, and they become especially insignificant once you buff your stats to a certain point. I feel as though they could have been made more frequent, as oftentimes you can simply roll through money without any dodging action.

All around, very impressive for a one-person project. I am unsure if another person was involved, as "One Man Symphony" is credited without any links to the tracks used, but I digress. 

Developer

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I definitely understand your sentiment about obstacles becoming insignificant. Whereas I had intended to make them much less of a threat after buffing your stats fully, I agree that there's definitely some room for balance and improvement there. And thank you for pointing that out-- I had forgotten to link the specific track I used in the description, my mistake. I have gone ahead and updated that accordingly. Thanks so much for the feedback!

Very very fun game. The scene scale of the shop seemed different than in the gameplay, so it shrunk down and i couldnt see very well. Also, I was able to put myself into very small amounts of debt to buy stuff earlier than i should. The art was great, i love ubo they are the best little creature

Developer

Thank you! Yes, unfortunately there are currently some bugs with the shop UI & pricing, my apologies. I'm happy you were still able to enjoy the game nevertheless! And tysm for the Ubo love, they really are the silly little creature ever <3

One of the best games for this jam! Reminds me of these old flash games we all used to play! Beautiful art, nice music and an easy gameplay loop that doesn't demand too much of you. Love it!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! Yes, I was definitely inspired by childhood flash games, haha. Thanks for playing!

The game was so much fun and the art was beautiful. I assume the fact that I needed to buy more snacks to even have access to my previous snacks was a bug, but other than that I didn't see any other bug. Great job! Out of the games I've played up to now, this is definitely my favorite and the one I hope wins!

Developer

Oh wow, thanks so much! I appreciate it! And yes, unfortunately there is a known bug with the snacks. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for playing!

Pretty simple concept, but done very well. I was confused about the reset at first, assuming that it would reset all your upgrades, but it seems like it only reset your upgrades from your past round. Also seems like the energy boosts don't work sometimes.

Developer

Thank you! Yes, unfortunately there's currently a bug with the snack boost. I appreciate the feedback about the reset as well, I'll consider looking into what I can do to clarify it a bit further. Thanks so much for playing nonetheless, and I hope you enjoyed!

I loved the upgrade mechanic. It was a fun game and it is a nice feeling seen how overpowered you are when you have all the upgrades lmao. I feel it would be better to add more stamina when you have 0 upgrades. I barely could last like 5 seconds so I had to grind some cash to play normally.

Thanks so much! Happy to hear you had fun with it. I appreciate your feedback, and thanks for playing!

Very nice job here. I loved the sort of rough line art of the game. Perfect job of incorporating the theme and doing it in a multifacitated way! I think the gameplay was really good, especially for the jam, although I felt like it could have been nice to be able to do a little more during that. I think you mentioned fixing the snack system and possible stretch goals might even be to force the player to do additional movements, which could be as simple as jumping over things or even some physics to aim your bike with the ground similar to trials games. Overall, I loved this game and had a great time with it!

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! Yes, I wish I could've done a bit more with the concept and expanded with more levels/tools for the player. But unfortunately between not being able to work the full time frame and this being my first solo jam, I ended up not being able to hit most of my stretch goals. I'll definitely consider expanding the concept further in the future though, thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you were able to have fun with it, and thanks for playing!

A simple, but honestly really fun game! I love the music in the background, makes it very relaxing. The upgrades make it get intense real fast!

Developer

Thanks so much! Happy to hear that you had fun with it, thanks for playing!

Game's very fun and maybe a little too easy, i like that you add a finish line since the player will have too much energy, but i wonder if you would try making an endless track or make the stats tighter to have a good sense of difficulity

overall fun game!

Developer

An endless track was definitely something I had considered, or at least making a few more levels, but I unfortunately had to cut that idea for time. I definitely want to make the stats a bit tighter in a future iteration, though. Glad to hear you had fun with it nonetheless!

I love, LOVE the artstyle! I think I had a bug because my snacks disappeared and I couldn't get more. But still, I liked the general idea of the game!!

Developer(+1)

Yes, unfortunately there is currently a known bug with the snacks... But I'm glad you were still able to enjoy it nevertheless, thanks for playing!

I really love the art style especially the hand drawn opening scenes. I'm really not a fan of the style of game however that forces you to fail several times so you can build up skills/money/whatever to just gradually upgrade yourself to eventually win. I prefer to have a fighting chance or have winning be based on my choices/skills etc rather than just repetitively increasing numbers. But maybe that's just me.

Still it was fun once I got some upgrades and then eventually I could just AFK complete the game without even dodging.

Developer

Totally understandable, no problem at all if it's not your cup of tea! I'm glad you were still able to have fun with it, and thank you for playing!

Very cute art! And cute idea with the intro <3 

Developer

Thank you haha! Glad you enjoyed!

Even after winning I had to max out the upgrades just to see how the coffee made me fly. Great game, executed exceptionally. I really hope to see this on stream, rated!

Developer

Wow, thank you so much! Thanks so much for the support, I'm glad you had fun with it!

I had so much fun playing this one! I love all the art as well

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it!

My favorite game so far! My only real gripe is I wish dodge was on another key, sticky keys kept activating…

Developer

Thank you so much! Sorry about the keyspam, I'll definitely consider adding additional control schemes in the future. I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless!

Submitted

yeah, it’s still my favorite of the ones I’ve seen, hope to see you in the top 5!

At the moment the most fun i've had so far on this game-jam!!!
It kinda reminds me of burrito bison, did you inspired on it to make this game?
It's so addictive i took my time and got all of the upgrades:
And the art is SOOOO CUTE!!!
Good luck to you!!!

Developer

Oh wow thank you so much! I actually haven't heard of Burrito Bison before, but it looks really neat. I'm glad you had fun, thanks so much for playing! :)

Really awesome game! Love to upgrade my character
Although I spent all my money on snacks and they didn't appear on the next run ;(

Developer

Happy to hear you enjoyed it! And yes, unfortunately there's currently a known bug with the snacks :( I hope you still had fun!

I really enjoyed how the upgrades showed up on the bike as you went along!

The only thing I'd mentioned is that it seems the boosts arent re-granted after you use them once, so there's a hardcap on how many you can use in all your run.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, unfortunately that's a known bug with the snack boosts. I hope you were still able to enjoy the game nonetheless, thanks for playing!

Very Cute art and game in general. The upgrade mechanics and jokes where solid. GJ !

Developer

Thanks so much, happy to hear you enjoyed it!

Cute art style and a nice solid game-loop! Would be really nice on a tablet or on a phone and with some extra abilities and such~ Great work!

Developer

Aww, thank you! I agree that it would be nice on mobile... maybe in the future perhaps. Thanks for playing!
