Nice art and great music! The ducking animation was my favorite, and the background changing with each run is an inspired touch. The gameplay is really enjoyable but I think you could balance it to have a slightly faster game loop- maybe less health and/or a faster ramp-up in difficulty?

Nice start, but maybe needs a bit more variation to the enemies and traps. Perhaps some power ups could be cool too?

I love the art, the character's animations are great and the parallax is cool! I also love the gameplay, being able to jump or duck adds so much! Nice game, even though I wasn't able to get to the end. One thing I would add is to make is slowly get faster as you go.

Since it's a infinity runner a score counter would be cool anda death screen too. Overall good game.

It's actually beatable but takes skill and quite a bit of luck, I think you win if you survive 4 minutes. I'll be sure to add death screen to the post-jam version, thanks for the input!

Ghost Of The Town

It's actually beatable but it takes a bit of luck and skill, hoping to add a lot of variety in the post-jam version though :).

nice job! Gameplay is a pretty slow, I think increasing the background/enemy speed over time & adding a score counter based on distance would help! Otherwise, death animation is awesome & music is really well done!

If you could rate my game as well, I'd really appreciate it! :)

Thanks for playing and the helpful feedback. I'll implement some if not all of these features in the post-jam version!

I'll be sure to give your game a play before I rate it :).

It was so engaging. Adding more speed to gameplay over time would have made the game more fun

ESCAPED INTELLIGENCE

Thanks! That actually was an idea but wasn't sure how to implement it in time, I'll be adding that mechanic to the post-jam version.

you probably could add a score count to make the game more fun.
