Thanks for playing, my personal record for consecutive runs without making any progress is 4 in a row. I tried telling the lobsters to stop hitting the fatguy backwards so much early on, but they are stupid and their rage is fueled by ignorance. 

It’s a game where progress snowballs pretty fast maybe try changing up the angle you launch at or try timing the lobsters. There can only be 250 of them maybe you can let them accumulate then try jumping them? 

I did prior to submitting, what rule do you feel I have broken? 

I only submitted this game to two jams which isn’t mass submitting. The timelines of the jams matched up so I completed the game within the game jam window meaning this wasn’t an old project.

The game oddly does fit the theme for this jam so I thought it be nice to submit it to get more feedback. 

Thank you for playing and thank you for the feedback, if you don't mind me asking is he getting stuck for you during the initial runs before you upgrade his stats or is he getting bumped by a lobster? If its from the intial jump then I might need to adjust the starting stats / the friction on the slide to prevent it and if its the lobsters they aren't supposed to be able to enter within approx. 25 pixels of the slide's sprite but they also have collision and spacing logic with each other that could possibly bump one of them through that boundary messing up the fatguy's path he follows. 

Thanks for playing.

You get money the further your Fatguy makes it in the lobster pool. You can upgrade each Fatguy’s Weight stat by going to the left of the hub area to get him some greasy grub (or some salad—yuck!) by going to the right you can meet Mr. Slick a slippery salesman who sells you increased Slickness. These upgrades are only for the current Fatguy, once he’s in the lobster pool he’s gone forever and your next Fatguy starts back at the default Weight and Slickness. 

Then there’s push force which you can buy from Mr. Slick’s vending machine which is a permanent upgrade that carries between runs since it’s you that is learning how to better push people over. Just make sure you set your push force before leaving Mr. Slicks. You can also adjust the slide angle prior to pushing your Fatguy. Pressing the left and right arrow keys in the air help you manage air drag, but let’s be honest Fatguys aren’t very aerodynamic.

The progression in this game really starts to snowball after you get a couple push force upgrades and can afford to max out weight and slickness. Average time to beat has been about 15 minutes in my experience.

Damn, this was one slick game!

Its like I am playing Getting Over It again, the only thing the game is missing is the narrator. 

What happens when you make over 5000 dollars, I am not skilled enough to reach that milestone?

This is the closest we are getting to a new Tony Hawk game isn't it?

I feel like this is probably someone's fetish, but still an interesting game overall. 

For some reason I couldn't wall jump on level 2? Still a cool game though.

This game has possibly the slickest slidey-est controls I have ever seen. Good Job. 

I liked the monkey. It was the best character in the game. 

Thank you for playing and I’m glad that you were able to see yourself in the game— studies show representation in gaming is very important for player enjoyment. 

I like it, but it seems like I keep dying while visually it appears that I am standing in  pools of blood. I think the current timer for getting back into the pools of blood might be a bit too punishing and doesn't give players much time to react and adapt to the situation they are currently in.
