The ads were so fast they were unskippable, but I think it was already mentioned it is a bug. Otherwise cool concept.

Great game. Despite the art style the core loop is very good. Nice job :)

Submitted

Greta idea!! it fits the theme very well. Incredible job! :)

Submitted

Nice idea, but unfortunally I also experienced the fast ads bugs :( 

But I enjoyed the art, and feel like this fits great the JAM theme

Submitted

Nice concept but i could not click the ads fast enough but i know youve probably heard that a lot but we all make mistakes maybe you forgot to multiply by delta time? i like the art and it fits quite well music gives off the same vibe too!

Really interesting concept with the ads popping up, it’s a creative mechanic. The visuals are also very good and make the whole experience feel polished.

My only concern is how punishing the ad mechanic feels. From what I understood, 1 to 3 ads can appear randomly with extremely short split second timers, and failing them resets your position. Because the reaction window is so small, it becomes very difficult to handle when two or three ads appear at the same time. There was one moment where I was about to reach an item at the far end and three ads spawned simultaneously, which felt overwhelming.

I understand the intention is to make it challenging, but it might help to make it slightly more forgiving. Not all players have very fast reaction or typing speed. Maybe allowing a few mistakes before resetting the player’s position as well, for example resetting only after three failed attempts, could keep the challenge while feeling less punishing.

Overall, it’s a very cool idea with strong potential. With a bit of balancing, it could feel even better.

yeeaaa, that’s the main complaint I see here, that’s my bad, I prob should’ve accounted for other peoples reaction time & not just mine, also thx for the compliments!

I'm having the same problem with ads... They only appear for a split second, and it's incredibly difficult to react quickly. Maybe it's due to the different computer configurations? Unfortunately, I can't rate the game...

Submitted

I don't know If I do something wrong, but the ads seem to be only on screen for a fraction of a second before I got reset. I still like the idea, I just think it needs some tuning to be playable :)

Developer

r u able to close the ads?

Submitted

i really like how this game played out, the visuals and audio are meh, but the theme is followed really well. it would be nicer to reduce the amount of ads or increase the timer for them to disappear to give more time to react. i couldnt get past the lava platforming section, mainly because of the shooting meteor that kept appearing and the minimum amount of space i can dodge. overall, really neat concept.

Developer

Thank u! I was considering to add more time for the ads, but I also didn’t want to make the game too easy, but I do see where ur coming from, thx again for the feedback tho!

fair enough but dont make it too hard, i didnt really have an issue for the ads part but maybe nerf that lava platforming part

Submitted

Can't say I got very far, I only picked up one of the items needed and then ads kept resetting me back to the beginning and I couldn't get close to another pickup without being set to the beginning. Not sure if it is purely random or some system I couldn't figure out. I did really like the "computer" setting that you made and the intro graphics were cute!

have u tried closing the ads? U have to press a key in order to close them
