Didn't rate yet, because it is not loading for me on the web version? Do you know why this might be?

Yay, scoring game!

The music makes me think of castles, plotting ambiance ; not very "sporty" or "arcade".

The sound effects are good.

Some accelerators are too near the wall, you can have infinite points if you succeed to block yourself in an infinite loop.

It's hard to tell if an accelerator is going up or down. A color code might be handy.

The spinning bonus is very clever: the player always has something to do.


And most importantly : I liked it. :)

@Ludusamo, I thought it worked when I submitted last night. Looks like it isn't working for me or a friend. I removed the web version since I can't fix it while I'm at work. Thanks for trying though!

@Van Merwan Thanks for playing! The music was a last minute addition; I thought it was better than it being mostly silent. I don't have great sources for royalty free music. :(
I'll think more about the random generation algorithm and themeing the up/down accelerator. There were a few more bonuses that didn't make it in that should add some things to do. I also want to add collectables and more dangerous obstacles. I might also have to pull the camera back a little bit so you can actually see the obstacles better at high speeds.

Love the music! Nice game

Pretty fun! As Van Merwan said, it's pretty easy to get into a loop of infinite points, and the spinning bonus is nice. It gets a bit old after a few minutes, though. Perhaps there could be some moving elements to mix things up?

Fun on the three first try, then as kirby says, it gets old.
Love the music event if it doesn't really fit the gameplay.

Didn't really like. Not really original

Didn't really like. Not really original, but good graphics.

Game locks up when asking me to submit/not submit. Luckily this did not stop me from actually playing.

It's quite a fun concept, but a little hard to control what with the whole spinning and smashing into things!

Haha, from the miniature I was so sure it's game about polandball.

Planet core come to fast if you ask me. It took me a while to understand why I'm suddenly going up, or 'oscilating' arount that hot belt (but maybe I'm stupid ;) )

As @Van Merwan said it's little hard to distinguish accelerators.

The Linux download gave me a folder with a lot of dll and an exe, but no Linux executable :/

Yay for leaderboards! Too bad it relied so heavily on RNG though, eventually I got a map where I could've just scored infinitely :P. Simple, but the leaderboards made it at least somewhat fun. The music made it feel really dire too.
