Really good concept and implementation of risk into gameplay. It felt like a faster version of frogger but didn’t just feel like a copy of the original. Everything seemed designed pretty well gameplay wise and stage design wise. Nice work! (And I also appreciate the audio setting greatly.)

Great idea! It felt like a combination between Crossy Roads + Frogger. Solid endless runner.

Great entry!

nice and fun game! looks very polished!

Nice take on the theme. Easy to pick up and hard to master. I would recommend ramping up the difficulty more slowly, but it's a solid proof-of-concept. Good job!

Nice and simple crossy road. Good job!

Loved it! Everything awesome. Good fun! just one thing, don't make it so hard initially, let it get progressively harder. bigger, slower gaps in traffic; then, eventually close in and faster. so as to better enjoy the game and have more play time. Great potential for further development.  i can see this game ending up in different places, besides here, like roblox and such places.

Thank you for playing and for the feedback. The reason the game has a "fix" difficulty is because of the winning conditions being getting the paper in the closest distance possible. So if the game was easier in the beginning it would go against that goal but I agree that it should have had an introductory level or easy-medium-hard modes so people could get used to the game.

Simple and neat little frog game with a nice adrenaline twist. I quite like the low-poly art style of the game, which gives it a nice style to pair with the gameplay. The gameplay loop itself is easy to understand, though I think it would benefit from some introduction and explanation in the game. This is especially true for the adrenaline mechanics, which I think is the core focus of the game. It's also a great opportunity to give the game a backstory that adds a bit of flavour to the game! I would say if the game focuses on the adrenaline mechanic more, the game would truly be unique and fun to play.

Anyway, with all that said, the game is still well-made. Good job on making it! Keep up the good work!

Very neat runner game. I think it was interesting to have a win condition when you catch up to your page! The risk being how close you get to cars was fun! I do wish there was more incentive to actually try and get close to cars, but its really difficult with some of the patterns. Very cool game, had fun!

The intro was SO cool!

Simple gameplay that still works great. Also liked the polished ui and the leaderboards, definitely not standard for a jam game.

The intro was sick! The gameplay is simple and yet very difficult to master. Good job!

Simple and intense! Love the audio and level work together building the risk on there!

That was so much fun! It felt pretty tense despite the simplicity of the premise and gameplay. Great choice in graphics and soundtrack as well!

The gameplay is simple yet really effective and fun. Seeing what happens when I crashed into cars was funny too.

The intro cinematic into the menu is cool :) Fun game, cool mechanic that really encourages you to take risk!

Simple but fun game! Nice work on that opening cinematic too!
