All good! We appreciate you organizing and hosting the event!
Quick question - is the award ceremony intended for the winners of this jam? And if so, how are non-sf locals encouraged to participate should they place?

I don't have any more details unfortunately. Like you, I'm just a participant, not an event organizer.
I'd love a way to participate digitally, because I am also not local to the SF area.
This is a link to the Discord where I found the information - you may have more luck asking there.

Okay I actually had to do some digging for this, but according to the glitched Discord, they're announcing them a week from now at an in-person event in San Francisco... 

No idea! let us know if you find out!

Alright, score to beat folks

Nothing too fancy in there but if anyone wants to use them in your projects, feel free!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that feedback. I'm really happy with the sense of speed, because the whole thing is done using forced perspective, and the actual colliders are quite slow moving!

Hopefully the screen shot shows what's going on a bit -- the "ground" is just 2 spheres with a shader tied to the car's 'velocity,' that scrolls the texture like a treadmill.

Then i use a vanishing point only about ten units from the player in either direction, and have objects scale themselves as move from one vanishing point to the other to give the illusion of much faster movement.

thanks! Appreciate the feedback! the mirrors are done using a dual camera setup and a render texture with the scale inverted on the quad's displaying it - each is individually masked in the shader by a black and white mask of the shape of the mirror. Not the most performant, but if it ain't broke!

Oh wow, really vibey.

Love the aesthetic and the sound/ visual design is top notch.

Agreed with the other comment about mouse controls being another option, cus the plant is hard to direct, but hey, thats the point right?

really nice work

i fell off the side on the my first run and had to reload the game because i just fell forever lol

second run i made it to the boss and it whooped me.

Cute game tho - reminds me of the whomp's level from Mario 64!

syntax and javascript errors prevented most of the game's scenes from loading for me :[

Challenging but fun! really like the sound minimalist sound design, and the boops and beeps while 'walking'

ha yeah, a little extra time to work on the difficulty ramping would have done a lot.
As is, it takes some practice to adjust to the handling and collision (especially from objects to the side of you) but i promise long runs are possible! 

my high score is 73,000 :]
