I liked the concept, could definitely do with some work but overall I had fun playing it.

I'm not sure whether I'm missing anything with this game, it could really benefit from a tutorial or even an Instructions menu. I found I could just hold 'W' and ever so slightly adjust my position if I saw something on the minimap and get to the top pretty easily. I'm not sure what the point to the energy bar is since it seemingly does nothing, runs out really fast and as far as I can tell, there's no way to restore it. Racing the AI to the top while shooting them to slow them down could be fun, but they start ahead of you and I don't have any clue how to catch up other than holding 'W' and avoiding everything which still wasn't enough for me to beat even half of them.

The aesthetics, sound and idea are nice though. It's a solid entry, good job! :)

I need to learn how to make it easier to grasp. I tend to do that somehow unfortunately.. thanks though.. what is your score though. Are you first to the top is the idea   It's a one minute or so quick race to the top for best score... The description explains some... If energy is low you go slower and can't boost higher with space bar.. three ways to catch up.

1. Space to boost if you have energy.

2. Shoot the enemies to gain energy to boost up and slow the enemies down.

3. Bounce shots off posts that hit enemies to gain big energy and freeze them all for a second.

Thanks again

Thanks for the explanation. It explains a lot! I would really recommend including instructions in-game or making up some kind of tutorial so people can understand the game and its mechanics better.

yeah I had it setup to add but never got to it. Thanks 😊

Developer

it is confusing because I didn't make it clear that you need to press space right from the start to catch up first

A nice entry, I liked the concept behind the game, though the execution could use some work. I found I could get stuck on objects and suddenly be jigglying up and down. Also I was not sure what the energy was for? as I could run out and still move around? 

Developer

Thanks. You can still move but you move slower and you can't boost
