Thanks for the feedback, I will try to listen to criticism, I will correct the game for the better. :)

Neat little platformer and kudos for the rolling pumpkin. As others said the physics and ground detection is a little unforgiving at the worst times. I'd suggest trying to make more usage of the up/down input movement in the game mechanics because the 2d platformer inside of me only goes left/right instinctively.

On the very first moment I thought it's something in the style of Cauldron II for Commodore 64 :D. Nice graphics, but jumping physics were a little bit unfair (especially on cogs).

nice gear physics, cool vibe, fun.. lots of infinite rolling.

Well, Scream Catalogue already said about everything I wanted to. It's a neat platformer/runner, the store was cool but the cost jumping to 100 is a bit much. I had some fun experimenting with where I could go, like climbing up the background wall and getting inside of the cogs.  The look of the game is simple but very pleasing to the eye, this is definitely something I could fart about with on my phone with some more polish.

This is a neat interpretation of a platformer! I like the three-dimensional twist that adds a bit of depth to the level. The inclusion of the big cogs is nice and I feel a few more unique assets, obstacles and enemies could really shape this game into a fully-fledged platformer experience! The store is a nice idea to add to progression, but I feel the cost-point ratio is a bit off so I didn't really stick around collecting 100 coins to upgrade. There's a really good framework for a platformer here and it's very cool that you were able to put this together for your first game in a week! Great job :) 

Thanks for submitting this game to the SCREAM MACHINE jam!
