I can't help but highly rate this extremely enjoyable and unique endless runner, with its great game mechanics, endless replayability thanks to procedurally generated levels, and an awesome soundtrack that dynamically changes its...well...dynamics, based on which side of the horizon you are on. Such a well made entry!

PS. I really love the way the rabbit vibes to the music on the score page.

Thanks so much, we really appreciate it!

Cool endless runner. Liked the switching mechanic a la Ikaruga too bad I encountered a bug that somethimes the rabbit will float on landing and will not register the switching.

Fun game, it fit very nice with the theme! I loved the different powerups in the game, like the one that flipped the direction you were running. It really helped in adding variety to the gameplay.

The music was great! A nice core theme but with many variations. I think it was a big factor in why playing the game felt so good.

Developer

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

A really solid runner with a twist!

Great use of 1-bit art to dictate gameplay mechanics. I’ve enjoyed my fair number of runners like Temple Run and Corridor Z, so this was fun to play. Music was cool, especially how it alternated between the worlds. Player controls were solid as well.

My only critiques are I would’ve liked more obstacles in the form of enemies and I didn’t feel the jam’s limitation much in the game.

Overall though, great game!

Developer

Thank you for giving our game a go, and glad you noticed some of the attention to detail like the dynamic BGM!  You're also correct about both critiques, but I'll try to provide an excuse for each of them anyway.  Due to the timeframe, it was difficult for us to develop the obstacles beyond a form that simply required basic use of the core mechanics.  As for the limitation, we mainly designed the game around the theme for another jam before deciding to submit it to this one too, so the theme of riches to rags was basically an afterthought for us.  But thanks again for the feedback!

Awesome gameplay! It's really fascinating and challenging. Great work!

Thank you!

Good news: I've found a fix for one of the biggest bugs in this game!  Have you encountered the one where you get game over after flipping even though the next wall was still miles away?  Well, that's just been patched!  It was actually surpisingly simple to resolve once I looked into it, but unfortunately we won't be able to upload the new build until after a week when the other jam ends, so you're stuck with the bug until then.

The way the game idea plays with the two colors is one of the reasons why I like this jam so much! I'd like to see an edition with an even faster rabbit, although perhaps with a simpler level. Clear and functional concept, good job!

Developer

Glad you liked it!  I reckon we could throw in a sped-up version of the game as an easter egg within the main game.

Submitted(+1)

It's a great idea to work from, and as mentioned just a bit of sluggish control. Maybe a wider aspect ratio could give a better sense of what's ahead and let the player plan for it? 

And even though it could have been any character, a rabbit felt just right for this :D

Developer (1 edit)

We're planning on shifting the rabbit a little further to the left of the screen in a new build after the rating.  The reason we went with a rabbit was because of the theme of the other jam this was submitted to.  Thank you for playing!

Submitted(+2)

I liked the idea! I hope you will have time to improve on rabbit's physics. Other that that there is really nothing to carp here. It's a solid game!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Cool concept! Controls were responsive, music was banging. As you'd mentioned yourself, the physics DID feel a little bit clunky at times. I feel like the core concept was great and there's a lot of exploring you can do here! The graphics were simple, but cute and nice animations; did exactly what they had to do. The gameplay felt a little slow but I read below that this was a bit of a physics issue, hopefully you could get it sorted out in a potential post-jam (otherwise if you choose to focus on other projects instead, completely understandable haha).

Also, you're using Unity and a scoring system so let me just drop this here: https://danqzq.itch.io/leaderboard-creator (I'm not related to this creator in any way)- it's a very simple tool, with unity integration, to set up online leaderboards. In case you're not familiar with it, pretty much THE best thing I ran into for my own game :D


Thanks for your submission and looking forward to future games!

Thank you very much for the nice words and for posting this comment!Thanks for the tips on how to improve the game, we will definitely try to add leaderboard.

Submitted(+1)

No problem! Also, didn't mean to say you should add a leaderboard, just wanted to let you know this exists and it's surprisingly easy to implement, in case you'd like to :D

amazing idea!!

the game would have been better if it was fast-paced because now the game feels kind of slow.

btw nice game and great graphics 

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks for trying it out!  Unfortunately we found the physics ended up being a bit clunky which is more noticeable at a faster speed.  We weren't able to find a fix for that, so instead we had to start the player off at a slower speed to compensate.  It does speed up overtime, however.

Submitted(+1)

For a game this cute, I didn't expect the music to be such a banger. Surprisingly challenging, too!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thank you, finally someone commented on the music!  It took me a long time to get the gameplay tune right, and I usually don't compose for the projects I'm involved in.

Submitted(+2)

This is a really cool concept and cool use of inverting color! The main rabbit animation is really nice, too.

The flips did get a little weird sometimes, and I think the overall speed could be faster, but the idea was clear.

Nice job!
