Nice, happy-feeling game! The sombre music on the gameover screen was good. Adding the player's score to the gameover screen would be beneficial as I had a few good runs and then had no idea how close I got when it went straight to the gameover screen! 

Also, see if you can make the Play Again button selected by default so the play doesn't have to take their fingers off the keys they're already hovering over. Make getting back in for "one more try" as quick and easy as possible.

Thanks for giving it a shot!  It isn't much really but I learned some things along the way.
I definitely spent too much time on the music and art, could have used some extra polish / variety in the game itself.  You're definitely right about the Game Over screen, would be good to have some score tracking.  And I'll have to make it possible to navigate menus with the keyboard, or at least a simple keypress for Retry!
Thanks again.

Don’t apologise for spending more time on the art and music, it definitely shows that you did; They’re good! What engine did you use to make it?

Developer

Haha, thanks very much.  I used Godot, have been going through some tutorials in my free time but I'm by no means a coder.  It turned out nice enough for my first shot at something all on my own, sometimes its the little victories.

You did a great job! I'm much stronger in art and music myself yet my game has barely and art pass and no music haha You should be proud of your game, definitely more than a little victory.

Just another coin runner game, but the megadrive music is very cute & kawaii XDXD.

This game should be more longer. I have plans to extend your project:
- Main mode with 3 levels:

  • Level 1: Day, 50 Coins, Easy
  • Level 2: Evening, 100 Coins, Normal
  • Level 3: Night, 200 Coins, Hard

- Endless Mode

- Standalone version (as you planned).

I put it on you because I see potential for your game.

Developer

Yes, it is a VERY simple game but appreciate you giving it a shot!

Your expansion ideas aren't far off what I had planned, though only had time for a proof of concept.  But for future builds maybe :)

Thanks!

Thank you for your answer. You can take my ideas as an example if you want to expand even more.
