This is a very beautiful game. The scrolling was moving much quicker than I anticipated and I found it difficult to find a rhythm of play. I ended up spamming acid and jumping frantically. UI is fantastic and music felt thematic and fun. I always appreciate controller support! This is one of the prettiest games I've played this jam. Really nice work!

Very nice polish and menus! The gameplay is pretty fun, but I have a couple of critiques: 1) it's a little difficult to tell what's an obstacle and what's in the background. And 2) quite often the obstacles are placed so that if you jump over one, you land directly into another, and since the left/right influence is quite weak, it's very difficult to dodge multiple in a row. Anyway, it was still pretty fun, nice entry :)

The most stylish game of the jam that I've played thus far. What a fantastic menu. I loved the ambition here, and how it was pretty much achieved. Bubbly music adds so much to the zany art and UI. The progression of obtaining characters with accumulated score? Amazing.

I feel the gameplay programming, including the arc of jump, and the level design are good. The main issue obviously is that the visual design of the level makes no differentiation between what's an obstacle and what's not, nor what's a foreground interactable vs. a background object. As a result, the gameplay at present is mashing the jump button hoping that you successfully hop over an otherwise unidentifiable obstacle that's going to take a heart.

But almost everything else is done right. The character model and animation is beautiful, and the environment is as well. It just needs to be slightly more optimized for understandability.

This is excellent style and premise, however. I hope you guys continue to work on it—I think you have something here.

The UI and music are great! Unfortunately during the game I kept dying to something I couldn't see. It's really hard to differentiate between the foreground and background elements. It seems like you were going for a parallax effect, but the background is moving really fast, and the end result is a bit disorienting. The quicktime event felt a bit unnecessary as well, and seemed kind of tacked on. Still I had fun playing for a bit, I think a runner where you can destroy obstacles is a neat idea! Just needs some tweaks to make it more playable. But the art/music and story were all great. Nice work :)

Love the graphics, that's an awesome work from your team! I would have appreciated a more "powerful" soundtrack for the game to keep the rythm up, but overall a great experience!

Great little game, even though I was awful at it haha. I did struggle with figuring out what was the background and what I had to dodge, but figured it out in the end. 

Action-packed game with cool critter characters with nice animations. My only complaint is that the background is the same style and color as the foreground. I'd suggest maybe making the background a bit more faded, desaturated, or blurrier, so that it is easier to read the obstacles especially at high speeds

This was a neat take on the theme. The balance of shooting or jumping obstacles was nice. It would have been nice if the jumping allowed more control over the height based on how long you held the button, or the analog pressure. I tried using controller to test the analog for jumping, and did not see how to aim other than the mouse.

Fun game! I dig all the pixel art. Even after playing it for a while, I kept forgetting what could hurt me and I kept trying to jump onto things that were in the background. Overall a fun game with some great artwork and music!

Cover art is great, it's what got me to click on the game in the first place, sad to see the game world and characters not follow the same color scheme, but that happens with our own game too, so no worries. I think the weakest point of the game is the gameplay, you can just spam click shooting at ground level and you'll always hit all obstacles. Apart from that, the game is fun and the QTEs are a decent way to break the monotony. Congratulations to everyone involved!

Love it overall, my only issue would be the lack of feedback when hitting something, when the game run fast, sometimes i can't tell if i was hit or not. Also the obstacle blend a bit too much with the background, it seem you have some plateform but i couldn't use any because of the jump controle or speed of the game

Soundtrack is really fun and i do like these games where you can kinda go wide-eyed and just enter the zone, But i did find it a little hard to focus on the important bits/obstacles that i was supposed to be avoiding, perhaps the background was moving a bit too fast/distracting?

Either way! I thought it was fun, Nice job!

The graphic design is epic and the gameplay is fun. Love the quicktime events. Only critique is that I wish you had variable jump heights so I could control the lil guy better. Good job!

Hey! Interesting submission, the visuals are really pretty, I loved that. 
I think for gameplay, though, the visuals of background and assets had a low differentiation for me, so, I ended up hitting things all the time.
Besides that, the game is fun and the art is superb. Congrats!
