My god, i lose at 200M of the ending. I'm so a loser.
But your game is very beautiful & is a great visual/musical experience ! Congrats !

Nice game, love th graphic :D

fullmontis 2013-04-30 11:08

Cool little game. I especially love the attention to details. Amazing graphics and music!

keyboardthrashingfactory 2013-04-30 11:09

Very engaging, great visuals and audio. One of my favourites so far

Excellent graphics!

Canabalt colorful revamp, I like it.
I would like to see my friend, are the distance you ran, re-run in the next game?

fredericrp 2013-04-30 11:40

no innovation in the gameplay but great visual effects !
lost also right before the end.. arrrrrhhh !

Magnus 2013-04-30 11:44

Oh man, I died right at the end, and laughed at the death screen. Good stuff. I like the transitions and the color palette.

pereubu 2013-04-30 11:48

very nice art, I just regret there's nothin' more in your game design.
Nice overall :D

This is great! Love the visuals and the Pink/Neon-Style. Controls are gameplay feel punchy enough too. The world switches make things interesting, but the game remained quite easy.

This game goes Off The Rails once you are done. Wow. I did not expect that.

There are a lot of things that it doesn't really need, though, which I think detract from the game. The story-screen only delays the actual "game", the title-screen is enough. The "Achievements" are quite obnoxious. there are better ways to include story-beats, like thought-bubbles,voice-narration, etc.

Also you don't have to explain how to press x in a special text, as it is all over the game :P

matthias_zarzecki 2013-04-30 12:35

This is clearly inspired by Canabalt. I wonder if it also uses its source-code (no shame about that, it would be useful :P )

saguaro 2013-04-30 12:44

I really like the aesthetics.

pitoum 2013-04-30 13:12

Thanks guys :)
@matthias_zarzecki: nop, all from scratch! :)

Beautiful and fluid! It's a bit hard to see yourself sometimes, she kinda blends into the background.

chman 2013-04-30 13:24

Cool endless runner. Good aesthetics and audio work. I killed myself after a while (after what seems to be the end) because the game wasn't getting any faster nor difficult.

My main grip is about the first part (before ~3200m). As nice as the graphics are, it's really hard to see the main character. Starting from the second part the character/background contrast is better and makes the game much more readable & enjoyable.

pjchardt 2013-05-01 04:13

I agree with others. The graphics are visually appealing but I had a hard time seeing the player. Aside from problems tracking the player I like the choice in color palette.

whattheteam 2013-05-01 10:36

I'm always sceptical about runers, but you guys did a great job! Congrats!

eggdestroyer 2013-05-01 12:03

The "achievements" up left are hard to read as you're focused on the actual game, and the graphical transitions seems to be dangerous.
Also, I don't know if I have won or lost as I couldn't see the remaining distance anymore after 300m or so on my first run. After restarting & suiciding, it appears that I've won the first time, but I was hoping for some kind of reward. (I don't know if this stuff is relevant :p )

Still, visually worth 5* :) and fun experience overall.

kgs0142 2013-05-01 16:34

Cool concept!
I like the ambient :p

jah2488 2013-05-02 01:21

Nice runner.

lotusgame 2013-05-02 10:01

Exellent Canabalt variation ! Lovely colors and graphics ! I like the several levels that has graphics progressively minimalized. A very good entry !

benjamin-soule 2013-05-04 05:54

Nice and ver fun. But those special messages was annoying especially on the las levels. It was also a bit frustrating to rely on infinite continues then permadeath just 200m before end. Reminded me of that good old Rainbow Island where you can't use continue on 2 last islands :)

smilingcat 2013-05-07 02:55

Beautiful graphics, I wanted to stop and admire the skyline.

Good job!

minionstudios 2013-05-07 17:00

Very colorful and great artwork! I think more obstacles would be nice, but it works great as-is.

depp 2013-05-07 19:22

I think I won... fantastic game!

SuperlevelSebastian 2013-05-09 20:28

NO ONE GIVES A FUCK. Awesome. My eyes hurt now.

kill0u 2013-05-13 23:10

Pas mal du tout :)
Par contre, le changement de "niveau" est assez violent (surtout quand on est concentré)... J'ai perdu quasiment à chaque fois x)

sylvain-p 2013-05-14 03:39

Graphisme plutot sympa, mais le gameplay c'est exactement canabult ...
