Nice and easy, like it!

Thanks!

Haha, nice. I used the same tools except Blender.

tinfoilboy 2013-08-25 23:29

Thanks, and lol yeah those are my everyday tools.

This is a funny little game. I like it. I feel like if you polish this some more you will have a fun little twitchy game on your hands. It just seems very fun to me. Super job for 48 hours!

i enjoyed it, would love to see it more polished and dying should let you restart the current level!

great work though

Cool! :D But I'm not a fan of the Default blue background :P

Pretty fun runner game, it's more relaxed than stressful. I don't know why, but the character freaks me out :P Minor issue: no way to back out of the about page :P

pereubu 2013-08-26 18:27

cute :3

tinfoilboy 2013-08-26 18:51

Yeah, the about page I forgot the button and didn't realize until I put it up. And thanks for all the feedback, guys!

tinfoilboy 2013-08-26 18:54

b.t.w. would the absence of a button on the about page count as a typo error?

dream-of-sleeping 2013-08-26 19:47

I wouldn't worry about the lack of button on the about page. I bet the amount of people that will actually click on the about button won't very high and they'll figure it out.

I liked the graphics a lot. I like the game but one thing that really bugged me and ruined the experience was I felt I was constantly clicking the continue button. When you are using the keyboard to play a game constantly having to switch to the mouse is a pain. Anyway can't you just assume the player wants to continue when they finish a level?

The font with timer on was pretty small. As ten seconds was the theme you could have made it more prominent.

tinfoilboy 2013-08-26 19:55

I'm glad you liked it! Yeah the continue button was just for saying "Oh, if you want to not continue you don't have to". Granted I could have put the continue button mapped to a button. The font is just Arial because I don't know if I can use a site like 1001freefonts also I don't know how to make a .ttf. But I'm glad you liked it!

nice game, enjoyed playing it good work

Probably the best run on any character I've ever seen, ever ;) Fun game, but I wish the camera was placed a little higher and then angled down a bit. As it is now, it can be very difficult to see the path past the characters exceptionally large head :)

tinfoilboy 2013-08-28 19:13

lol, yeah. the camera was a bitch and a half seeing as how i had to make it follow the player and i'ed never attempted that before.

zap 2013-08-29 11:04

The character creeps me out a bit :/
The idea is solid enough, but it's hard to feel in control because most of the time you can't see. It seemed like chance that I made it to the end of each level.
Maybe this could be improved by making the camera higher and the controls less slippery?

I love the sound he makes when he collects coins

Nice little game, I couldn't really see where I was going but it wasn't too hard anyway.

jacob123 2013-08-31 22:40

Nice little game.
