Very nice game! 

The sound of the river is soothing and we let ourselves be tempted by several games. 

You may not be able to draw but the final rendering is very nice! 

I would have added a little soft background music. I

t's a good base to add power up and other obstacles :) Good work!

Cute game! I included it in my Time Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

I'm getting Crossy Road vibes from this one, and I love it! It's easy to get addicted to it!

I just think that adding some music would make it even better. The water sound is very nice, but maybe some calm background music, that speeds up with the stream could be a nice touch!

Also, I saw your name and I had to check... Hey there, fellow Brazilian xD

I loved it, I love endless runner and I like the perspective here, and the fact that i could play on my phone, great work !

Pretty cute and wholesome game! I like the blocky visuals, reminds me of blocky roads. Anyways, I sometimes had no idea what hurts you and what doesn’t. You could have shown what to avoid with pictures but I know that it isn’t an important part of the game so you do you!

Thank you for the comments! Turns out blocky things are easier to draw (from someone who can't draw hahaha).
And I agree with the comment on what hurts or not.  After the jam I'll update the just, just so it doesn't generate too much confusion.

You could add an outline to the ones that can hurt you and some inviting aura to those that don’t

Pretty fun game!

The problem I have here is the green blocks in the map. At first I thought they were obstacles. Probably if they blink or shine, they will look a bit appealing, so it makes more sense to think its a collectable.

Thank you a lot for the feedback! I received a similar feedback from a friend, but didn't have the time to implement. But since it could cause some confusion, I updated the game page to include some helper image on this.

It was a fun gameplay, and I really like the minimalist approach, the only thing is I think the lack of music disengages me from the experience, with these type of games I always have this feeling of jamming through the song with the gameplay.


Overall its pretty good!

Thank you! Definitionally, the sound part is the one I struggle the most. I tried something more simple with just the water sound, but I should've tried something else to complement that.
