A fun and engaging mobile game. There are of course things that need tending before I'd suggest an actual release on mobile but guessing by the polish this game has, you know already know what those things are. Tons of potential if you want to pursue it. My 5yo really liked it but had a hard time with how fast you fall down. Might I suggest a "slower gravity" version? Really a fantastic game and with some upbeat music, a progression system and a bit more polish you'd have a legit mobile release. Maybe I didn't get far enough but I never saw anything that applied to the theme? Straight up the theme was dumb so I don't really care. Great job!

Thank you. Glad to hear you child enjoyed it. Interesting comment about the difficulty. We're going to have to ponder who our audience is when balancing. Also, it's a little gory at the moment, which concerns me for a younger audience, to some extent.
As for the theme, our game has it pretty deeply, but it's not advertised in game. Hank, the protagonist, is a flat earther. He has decided to use the scientific method to prove once and for all that the Earth is not a sphere. His demonstration process involves digging vertically into the ground. If he gets to the other side, then the Earth is indeed a 3D object. If he does not, then it's definitely not a sphere. However, the game has no end, so it makes proving either side impossible. :)
Now, this will be included in the game, somehow at some point, but my concern number 1, 2 and 3 are always gameplay. The rest comes after.
Thanks again for playing!
PS: My daughter got to 2800 ft. Can your boy beat her?!? The challenge is on! :D
