Quite challenging, but I'm really liking the abstractness...

kalinka 2013-04-29 03:18

problem with unity web player : invalid date file

nurabsal 2013-04-29 03:40

check your entry? giving a error.

jase 2013-04-29 03:41

I liked the challenge, I kept thinking "okay, i got this, this time it'll be easy" but still managed to mess my runs up. Very cool :)

tiffi 2013-04-29 03:46

wow, cool game, but pretty hard!

invictusv 2013-04-29 03:47

The webplayer won't work on Firefox for some reason. If you're having trouble loading the game, try switching to IE or Chrome :) Not sure what's causing the invalid data file error.

Thanks for playing!

suese 2013-04-29 04:05

Invalid Data File in Chrome.

Magnus 2013-04-29 04:09

Pretty cool, pretty simple. The web version is broken but the windows build works.

crazynito 2013-04-29 04:28

Data file is corupt :/

voxel 2013-04-29 05:21

"invalid data file" here too. will come back later :)

paulopn 2013-04-29 05:22

Very fun and challenging. Looks very polished too...I really like the camera flipping effect.
One thing: maybe the game would get easier if the camera was positioned a little closer in angle to the floor. It's hard to judge heights sometimes.

cwilloughby 2013-04-29 05:23

Web player isn't working in Chrome for me either.

deadlyapps 2013-04-29 05:23

Just getting
"invalid data file" here too. will come back later :)

somenetworkguy 2013-04-29 05:24

I'm getting an error when trying to play.

"Data file is corrupt (not a Unity Web Player file)"

gilmore606 2013-04-29 05:24

Hell yeah! The simple graphics and sound are just enough to get the speed across. It's wicked hard though. Great little game.

matthias_zarzecki 2013-04-29 05:24

Nice infinite runner!

I like the contrast with the white world, adn teh fish-eye is interesting, although it gave me a headache on my second run.

I think the speed could use some tweaking, it starts you off incredibly quickly. Also when you switch to the right side I think the camera does a 270°-turn to the left.

robcozzens 2013-04-29 05:25

Really good!
My only complaint is that when you rotate to the wall on the right it rotates -270 instead of 90... you end up in the same place, but it is needlessly disorientating.

somenetworkguy 2013-04-29 05:29

Wow, that really makes you think fast! Fun game though.

joedev_net 2013-04-29 05:36

Really liked this. My highscore was 850, which probably isn't all that good, but it took a while to get. Very smooth experience and the music and graphics both fit together very well.

I don't know if it's a bug or not, but when I move to the far right and it causes a rotation, it appears to rotate 270 degrees the opposite direction to get there are opposed to 90 degrees in the right direction. The other side doesn't exhibit this behavior. When that would happen it was a little disorienting and usually cause me to die.[Was using the Windows build]

Great entry and very enjoyable!

biscuitdough 2013-04-29 08:21

the camera transitions gave me a headache, but it was addicting enough to keep my playing.

jhrrsn 2013-04-29 08:56

Had a lot of fun with this one.

toestee 2013-04-29 08:57

Awesome, very trippy.

designernap 2013-04-29 09:01

Great work. This has that "just one more go" feel down perfectly!

infernal 2013-04-29 09:12

very nice, but the difficulty to start with is high. the ability to go up the walls can lead to unintended screen flips for the user who wanted to stay on the wide floor/ceiling.

komradus 2013-04-29 09:50

Yes! I love these kind of games! Excuse me I'll be playing this for a while.
Few things though, sideways movement feels a little slow, it's challenging to get to safety when your in the middle with 2 lengthy bars on the bottom and top incoming.
Also mouse based movement would go great with this!

2013-04-29 11:13

The game is simple yet fun. Keep up the good work!

bonezoner 2013-04-29 11:22

Dang this is fun, got to 920 before I had to rest my unblinked eyes. Do you have a library of obstacle setups that you procedurally shuffle in? I got used to certain patterns of obstacles that made it really fun to re-play. Excellent work, this is really fun.

dracomagna 2013-04-29 12:08

This remind me of a mission in F-Zero GX. Nice work !

chman 2013-04-29 12:11

Apart from the -270 rotation instead of 90 in some places, cool game. Addicting, too. "Just one more, I know I can do better"...

SuperlevelSebastian 2013-04-29 14:19

Really liked it. :)

lrdkzrth 2013-04-29 15:28

One of the best games I've played in this game jam

edocentrique 2013-04-29 17:37

Really innovating

tonic 2013-04-29 18:04

Very nice - feels relatively complete little game for a 48hr game. :) Quite challenging. I find the vertical flip disorienting, but I guess that's the point. :)

tau7153 2013-04-29 18:40

Wow, really cool. Amazing visuals and very smooth gameplay!

mrexcessive 2013-04-29 19:56

Good fun... I'm really bad at it, but that's me not the game. very fun to die over and over in horrible crashes...

8bitpimp 2013-04-29 22:08

Trippy, nicely polished, lots of nice details. Good work here.

kitch 2013-04-29 23:18

that was a lot of fun. very well polished. good work!

sakuyan 2013-04-30 01:21

It's so trippy! <3

netpro2k 2013-04-30 05:22

Fun and challenging. It is a bit disorienting the way the camera transitions when going onto the right wall.

dapierce 2013-04-30 05:54

Great expression of minimalism--the speed, the rotation and spinning between planes feels very visceral because of the simple graphics and smooth camera animation.

angelk 2013-04-30 06:33

I love the arcade feel of this game. The types of obstacles are entertaining, and loved riding up on the walls. Nice work.

nilstastic 2013-04-30 12:17

cool! Pretty hard but fun and a bit addictive.

pereubu 2013-04-30 19:07

this game is ... super cool.
The rythm and pacing of the game are nicely done, there's a good flow when playing a few seconds.
I just found the horizontal move a bit slow when you see an obstacle at the last moment.

Great job overall :D

psychomonster 2013-05-01 21:03

too fast because I#m so tired :) But this is a very stylish game

keyboardthrashingfactory 2013-05-02 10:44

This is going in my top 10 for sure

polar 2013-05-02 16:20

Really nice game, but really hard as well :) Well done, definitely one of the best games I've played so far.

zemmi 2013-05-02 20:18

Fun game, I replayed a bunch trying to beat that highscore in the screenshot you posted but only got 880. I guess the camera rotation adds to the challenge but personally I would have preferred a fixed camera since you can see all the walls anyway and the rotation was extremely disorienting for me. Wicked entry

broxter 2013-05-02 23:57

The flipping was very disorientating, which was cool. You did well to make an infinite runner interesting. The visuals were nice and the audio was fitting if not a little "safe".

reverso13 2013-05-03 16:50

Challenging game. Great work!!

jokerden 2013-05-04 08:21

It's hard like hell! But I liked it.

entity2d 2013-05-04 15:17

Very addictive game. I love the graphical style.

m0n0quartz 2013-05-04 20:04

Quite difficult but awesome graphical effects!

ragzouken 2013-05-05 08:37

I love this aesthetic. Game is pretty good, but it feels like the camera sometimes rotates the long way round to meet your orientation? Quite disorienting!

paulmcgg 2013-05-05 12:08

Nice style, quick restart. Good job.

andrewshouldice 2013-05-05 13:11

Wow, very fun. The sense of speed is quite good. Perhaps the image curvature helps convey that.

covenant 2013-05-05 14:03

Excelent entry, very challenging but fun!

saintheiser 2013-05-06 02:11

It's looking kinda insane, bit incredibly addictive =)
Good work!

euwaku 2013-05-11 05:01

Except the fact that the background music made me think about someone brushing his teeth, this game was REALLY FUN TO PLAY. Jumping is a tricky move since the camera inverse left and right :o

turbodindon 2013-05-11 19:09

Velocity is an awesome game and is aptly named.
Sound and graphics are very immersive and dynamic.
Very very very good entry.

foyosoft 2013-05-11 20:44

Jeez, this is one tough game. I love the concept, I think a speed ramp up is needed. My inability to get further won't taint the rating though!

depp 2013-05-12 06:03

Fun! My two complaints are that the camera sometimes rotates the long way around (270 degrees), and that it would be nice if it started out a little easier and got harder as it went on. The graphics and concept are great, and it's fun to play too.

sylvain-p 2013-05-15 04:53

Pretty hard. Nice effects.
