Great idea with that data from other palyers. Its fun to watch others crash :D

Game just blank screened for me after I entered my name

Nice runner game. The jump is a bit annoying.

Simple but fun, seeing other players' data is a great motivator for one more go to try and get a bit further!

catman 2012-04-24 17:25

Nice, a bit too simple for my liking, tho!

tifu 2012-04-24 17:31

Yeah the online data is good idea! Though each time I played, there were some cars that just didn't jump at all, and yet they never crashed! D=

Yeah the other cars are distracting by jumping so often and also not getting hit by the dog when they don't jump at the right time.

i have to admit, it's actually a bug in sorting why the other cars don't jump :D. they are assigned to a jump, just way too late because the sorting is wrong

Unfortunately this took a lot of retries to load for me =/ a quick and simple game, and the users data was good motivation. Nice job!

This game gets really scary.

I enjoyed it. Can't believe I didn't get on the high scores!

Nice idea with the other players ghosts. Only one of them seemed to actually jump though.

Made 5th!

Too bad there isn't more to do than click but it's a nice little game. I appreciate the extra polish out of the game proper (into, nice menu, how to page..)

Not bad, enjoyed it for a while before simply trying to stay in the air for as long as possible! Couple of thoughts:
- The instructions page says you're the yellow car, I then subsequently had no idea which car I was since there were around 4 yellow cars in the race!
- As Tifu has mentioned, some cars don't jump and yet don't crash either, this lead to my first crash since I decided to see if the same rules applied to me. :-)

Very simple gameplay but it works well. Adding the data of other players is a nice idea.
After seeing the start menu I expected something 3-dimensional on a sphere :(.

Sometimes less is more, and I think that's true here. The minimal controls are refreshing, and the rhythm and simple soundtrack are quite hypnotic! The addition of high scores is good (post-compo?). More variety in obstacles would be welcome though

Great humor! I smiled at every text I read :)
Gameplay was fun and challenging.

hatscat 2012-05-03 17:42

ggod work, i had a lot of fun :-D

tyruspeace 2012-05-09 19:38

Seeing other people's data was cool, but a lot of times other players wouldn't even jump and they'd still survive some hearty dog contact. I imagine there's some kinda bug with it, but I'm still quite impressed that you got that feature in the game on such a time limit. This kinda asynchronous, cumulative multiplayer is a great idea for LD :).

Fun, after 100 or so laps everything was a blur and it became a game of luck, but still fun.
