This is awesome. Has a similar vibe to the game SpeedRrunners in a really awesome way. But you made it your own with amazing graphics and a really cool feel. Pretty easy to pick up and the difficulty ramped up nicely. Really great take on the theme. Nice work!

Very cool and highly polished game! The controls felt just right. The only thing I would say is that when I go too fast it's really easy to not see a spike and hit it. Maybe there's a way to make it more noticeable?

It felt really good to master the level every time I went around it. At the end I felt like a speedrunner lol. It fits really well into the theme.

Congratulations!

Really satisfying platformer!

The boost of speed when sliding felt really fun once I figured it out! The bending at the edges of the screen started messing with me after a few tries, but I almost got to lap 4!

The game was ok, then I realize you can gain a lot of momentum from crouch jumping, and it becomes amazing! Keep up the good work!

Cool game i got 1740 score but as you said the browser version is laggy , if  you made  player a bit bigger or zomed on it more, i love how the game gets harder after each loop but could add more spikes or make it harder in anthoreway because it starts to geta bit boring after 3 loops but decent game with great art and font for the text , Goodluck

very nice visual and gameplay (the gameplay is very fun and creative ngl). but i feel a little bit nauseous  due to the 3d shader (sorry i dont know what to call it 😭😭😭😭) other than that, a very fun game!

Developer

yea it is a shader! We’re gonna add a way to disable it in the future hopefully

Very cool visuals the wrapping effect at the sides is really cool and helps sell the concept well!

The movement feels really good, I really like sliding in air to gain a lot of speed, had a very good time with this game!

I really like the implementation of the theme here! It isn't forced and fits into the game nicely. The game also controls really well, and just the overall gameplay is awesome. 

If I could make a few changes though:

  • the soundtrack gets repetitive after a while, but I understand that this may be due to the jam time constraints
  • the spikes seem a bit too unforgiving, more than one of my runs ended because a spike knocked me back, off the platform (I do not mind them serving as a punishment but that just seems too harsh)
  • personally, I would limit the slide ability for the sake of realism, so the player can't just slide everywhere even though they have no speed to do so

Overall a very nice game though, the quick and smooth gameplay makes for a really great game loop.

Developer

thank you so much for the feedback

Aside that I felt kinda dizzy after playing it because of what seemed like a fisheye effect, it's really fun!

I just couldn't jump up there, but I liked it!

S for sliding felt pretty weird at first, but besides that I loved the gameplay 👍
