I just downloaded this from the itchio bundle and the game is chugging to an insane degree. I have a really powerful computer so I'm really confused about this.
I just started playing and this is a ton of fun!! i thought i was terrible at platformers but this is the right balance of being challenging but not frustrating. The art is so beautiful and it sets the atmosphere so nicely!
This game is great, can't wait for the full release As a Celeste player, i just loved how you implemented the dash and the extended ultra in your game. And the movement was amazing too
Oh maaaaaan no! T_T I watched the video, you didn't notice that you played 3 differents levels! The fact is it's generated from several pieces (chunk?) of level and each time you win add a new harder pieces of level in the pool for generating the next level. So you encounter several time some pieces but it was always a new level! Sorry if it seemed not clear to you. If you replayed the demo, in 8 runs you would see the evolution really quick, and the last chunks of level are really challenging compared to the the starting chunks. We tried to enhanced this part of the game in the full game as it can be tedious for good players, but we want beginner to feel at ease at the beginning. Maybe try the new demo we did for the Steam next Fest, and aim to finish it, you'll see what I explained. Anyway, thanks for featuring our game :) and good job for master the PowerJump that fast!
J'aime beaucoup le jeu, par contre j'ai l'impression qu'il y a un bug : parfois en laissant appuyé la touche droite en changeant de niveau, le perso ne bouge pas (mais le dash fonctionne toujours), je dois réappuyer pour bouger
Salut BaruchEtMoi! Merci d'avoir joué a cette alpha! Effectivement c'est un bug qu'on nous avait déjà remonté, l'alpha n'a pas été mise a jour mais la version complète n'aura pas ce problème!
I really like the demo, the game feels, the music, and especially the pixel art are on point.
I like the onboarding and how it teaches the player how to play but maybe adding some indication on which button should be press will be a great addition and would avoid the player searching for the good button or combination of buttons to press. but maybe it's not needed and is part of the self-learning process.
After my first run, I was a bit lost on what to do, since there were no gems in the first level, but after some runs, I understand and start to try to beat the level getting the maximum of gems. I really like how the game difficulty is evolving and the level design is procedural and the fact that the player need to learn and understand the different chunk of it, the learning process is really satisfying.
overall it's a really good demo and I'm really hyped by the game. I think in the final version if the game helps a bit more the player to comprehend how everything works, it will be an amazing game.
Hi! thank you for your feedback. At least you're the first one to report that. Two questions : Are you playing on a keyboard or with a controller? Do you have a record or something?
Fantastic job with the game as a whole, and the soundtrack is so good. I made a brief Game Digest video on it on my YouTube. Not my best work. I genuinely have no critiques. I look forward to the full release.
Would also like to inquire about potentially using the Soundtrack as my background stream music.
Oh thank you for your feedback ! Concerning the soundtrack please don't use it until any official" publication on Soundcloud or Spotify. But feel free to follow Thomas Barrandon on these plateforms.
Hi there Cheese Ghoul! It seems that you had some issues with the dash jump, we hope that it didn't bother you that much to enjoy the demo. And thank you for your review!
(Test de 50 minutes)
Je vais commencer par les points négatifs :
- Au level de tuto, je me perds un peu dans les boutons, j'ai commencé au clavier, et j'ai su qu'il fallait mieux jouer a la manette quand je l'ai entendu vibrer haha. => Peut-être préciser les touches en fonction du type de périphérique utiliser dans le menu ? + Préciser le combo de touche dans le niveau tuto, j'ai vu les mouvements, mais j'ai compris comment les faire et leurs importances que en jeu...
- On n’a pas vraiment d'objectif (ou alors je l'ai mal compris), quand on voit les 60 niveaux et plus à faire, c'est un peu décourageant...
- Le panel de mouvement reste simple. (Mais efficace cela dis ! Donc c'est un point négatif ou positif en fonction du jeu final et de ce que vous visez comme cible...)
Les points positifs :
- C'est vraiment, mais alors vraiment très agréable à jouer. Au niveau nervosité, c'est parfait, la difficulté croissante est parfaitement dosée, on y prend du plaisir à se dépasser et à passer d'un niveau à l'autre.
- Niveau level disgn comme dit plus haut, de très bonne idée, mais qui reste à développer, et surtout, laisser le joueur les appréhender avant de les mettre!
- On a tout ce qu'il faut pour fait un très très bon runner game indé, il manque un peu de réglage a gauche à droite, mais l'idée est vraiment a gardé.
- Enfaite, la totalité est jouable a 80% (d'où l'alpha vous allez me dire) mais on y est : le jeu est un bon Runner, fun, et surtout plaisant, il reste si peu de chose pour avoir un très très bon jeu indé.)
Conclusion :
Allez-y, donner tout. Vous avez l'idée, vous avec le level disgne, vous avec le gameplay. Avec 6 mois de peaufinage, il sera parfait, avec une histoire.
C'est de l'excellent travail, à tester les yeux fermés et à acheter prochainement sans problèmes, je pense !

First time I hear that! Is it better in windowed mode? Have you tried with vsync on or off in the settings?
I figured out the problem: having the vr headset attached was slowing the game to a crawl.
Oooooh interesting! Thanks for sharing the solution!
I just started playing and this is a ton of fun!! i thought i was terrible at platformers but this is the right balance of being challenging but not frustrating. The art is so beautiful and it sets the atmosphere so nicely!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Looks like a banger!
Thank you! Give it a try!
Hi,
I am playing Run on a switch.
How to switch to speedrun mode ?
Hello ! To unlock the speedrun mode you need to finish the game at least once! It will unlock the speedrun mode as well as the infinite mode!
Thanks !
Really nice ! Reminds me of a Celeste lvl mechanic, and it's really cool !
Thank you!
This game is great, can't wait for the full release
As a Celeste player, i just loved how you implemented the dash and the extended ultra in your game. And the movement was amazing too
Goodluck in the future :)
<3 thank you !
I played the Run Alpha as part of the itch io vault! This game is going to be great when it's complete I'm sure:

Hello. L'équipe est française ou de plusieurs pays ?
Salut! A ma connaissance on est tous basé en France!
Merci :)
Excellent game!! It's a simple purpose, but is very addictive!!

keep the good work!
Huge thank you for this review, we really appreciate having feedback!
Left an unhonest review when I was tilted. The game is absolutely amazing with no real issues. Just wish the lore was expanded on more
Haha it seems that you were too salty! Glad you've finally enjoyed it!
not sure we played the same game. I didn't have any issues

I think there should be a code for each randomly generated level in case someone wants to replay a certain pattern they liked.
Unfortunately, this idea is against our concept of "fast learning", but thank you for your suggestion!
I don't know what hurts you guys, but really great game
Huge thank you!
Грав на клавіатурі.
Функція діагонального стрибка зроблена через дупу.
Стрибок вдається зробити не завжди, це руінить проходження.

Hiii, I've made a video about the game and wanted to share some feedback about it, hopefully it is useful to you ^^
-The concept of the game is really good :)-The gameplay mechanics feel pretty fun and solid.
-The movement of the character feels really smooth.
-The visual style is pretty awesome and eyecatching.
Hopefully this is useful to you :D, also if you could subscribe that would help me a lot :)
Regards
Oh, thank you for this feedback and for your video!
you are welcome ^^
