Nice game!
I rated your game maybe you can do the same too mine ^_^
I think the audio is too high I would like a settings menu to change the volume.

How does you game fit the theme?
The red obstacle is not real, so if you hit it you win. Sorry it's a bit loose, this is my first jam and I was running out of ideas.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The sounds except the music are from https://kenney.nl/ , but everything else is made by me, except the things credited in the description of the game.

First, after reading your description, there's nothing wrong with the graphics. They serve their purpose. You should see mine! Similar thing. Second, completing a game is hard. Completing a game in seven days is harder. Completing a game in seven days that's functional is a nigh-impossible feat. A lot of submissions don't work at all, or don't have anything uploaded. You should be proud of what you accomplished.
You have the fundamentals of a game down. Before working on aesthetics, try to tune it a little more. I think better feedback that hitting the red obstacle was the "win" condition would be beneficial. Green vs. red is a good start, but I thought I just lost even though I intentionally hit it. Also, the game is far too easy -- although there are worse problems to have, like it being frustrating or unfair. Play with the settings a little more and see if you can't make something a bit more challenging.
I also would have used a longer music loop, but that isn't something you made. No shame in that, as the people that are able to create 100% of the assets in seven days are few in number, and are usually very experienced game developers.
Overall, this is a great start, and far greater of one than when I started. Keep it up! Good job.

Stress CUPacityA good game for a first game jam, i just got confuse the first time cause i didn't know i had to click with the mouse, but i liked the concept, nice work!

Wake Up, Emily! - Brackeys Game JamOof.
I don't want to dim your spirits, but I think maybe practicing a bit more might be useful. That way you can make a much more engaging game.
Definitely don't stop though, it's clear you understand this game design thing, now you just have to start expanding your knowledge.
Also I hope that tune will leave my head some time soon. Maybe a quick dive onto Google for royalty free music next time!

Accident at Faux PassI know it is not very engaging, this is my first game. This was an educational experience more than anything else. I was more trying to improve my programming skills than game design. And the music was just because I ran out of time, and I wanted to use as few external assets as possible. :) Thank you for playing Klerb and I hope you like Klerb 2 when I make it. >:)
Great and playable first jam game! If you can't see my pfp, my first jam submission was a Unity stretched 3d circle that shoots things. Keep the head up and keep working!

Hologuardiansfor your first jam this is solid! the gameplay is smooth and some of the visual effects are cool. I do wish it felt more "endless" and didn't have that win condition. congrats on finishing this little game!!

GhostographWould be nice to change the bg music, I hate these 3 second loops that stuck in your head. I liked the swiping gravity mechanic.
In an endless runner you can't put these winning red boxes, because it complete nullifiels the fun of the game, instead you should use a counter for the meters or a timer to keep track of the progress.

Really?Cool game, took me a while to win (I guess that's because I'm an epic gamer). The music is fitting but maybe a bit short, it's stuck in my head now help
Klerb 👍

Hidden TruthI fell in love with that game the moment I clicked play music really fits well

Dimensional inconsistencyI didn't quite understand how the player's speed was determined, it's kind of nice though.
Now, I need to go before the music loop melts my brain.
