Music and art are killer. Took me a minute to fully understand the gameplay, but once I did I appreciated the addictive nature. Going back and trying to collect all of the stars to unlock more modes was also fun. Love the nod to BitTrip Runner with the music building too. Lots to love here.
Thanks so much!
Glad you were able to play and enjoy the full release!
Nice art and the central mechanics work nicely — even though the sprites are large and detailed, making the game space very tight, I didn’t feel any gameover to be unfair.
Also that music is huge!
Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it!
We went over many iterations with sprite sizes and enemy / player speeds. So I'm very happy to hear that no death felt unfair. Thanks!
This is fun. Love the art, sounds, and music!
Thank you so much bprice! :D
Thanks! :D
I really like this one! The music is so good, love that its dynamic. Plus awesome art style too! Nice work!
Thank you so much!
Supercool concept, I like the dynamic!!!
Thanks!
Getting the dynamic music switching to work smoothly was a huge pain to implement.
Glad people like the result :D
Great work, love the comic art, and overall design. I'm glad the cranking speed isn't any faster on a physical device because it gets hard to hold :') This one is to keep!
I would have tried the game like this: Crank to move from the left to the right of the stairs (so it's much faster to do), add a punch button (B), and match the hitboxes to the sprites ;)
That's a huge compliment. Thanks! Happy you enjoyed it!
We were fortunate enough to be able to tune the cranking to the experience on the actual handheld. That's why we set the amount you need to get going so low (so many hand cramps while testing).
We also added the possibility to speed up using buttons instead of the crank in the settings, if you want a crankless experience!
Depending on the overall feedback we get we might keep working on this. So we'll definitely take the feedback to heart!
Steering with the crank and punching sound fun :D
The design, the music, the gameplay are all top-notch, and the change in music depending on the speed of movement is super cool 15/15
Glad you enjoy everything about this project, thank you! :)
Thanks so much! We gave it our all.
Glad to see that the little details get appreciated :D
Great looking game!
Thank you! :)
Thanks! Same to your game too ;)
Simple and clean :D
