lol, nice! I couldn't get past the second tree until I figured out how to attack... lol Nice job!

Somehow I died when I jumped on a rock. The rules seem very unclear. The trees behave like enemies, they somehow seem to attack back when you run into them, but you need to otherwise you can't progress.

Classic game, still challenging to play but graphics could be better.

Interesting game... Like SledKnight, it took me some time to figure the controls out, but I guess I should get used to reading the description:)

You definitely know how to make a simple game addictive. Fun little game, I'd like to see what would come of it with more time.

great feeling of progression! i had to play until the end! took me a while to understand how combat worked

Nice game, it reminds me of the movie "Rubber", where a wheel is telepathic killer. My only concerns where the collision and the physic that feel weird.
Nice job!

Nice game and concept, though I seemed to take damage when attacking enemies? Would love to see how far this goes but could only get through the first 4 or 5 enemies.

Good effort though, like the simple graphic style and mellow music.

@HotBoxGames the enemies are split into damaging part and not damaging part. The ones that do damage are the top of the sign, tree branches and cactus top. Also when enemy is attacking, the damage taken from damaging part increases.
The best strategy is to attack the bottom part of all enemies.

Good game, although a little unclear at first how to attack without being damaged, but nice work.

Good game. At first it was a bit hard to figure out what does and what doesnt hurt me (especially cuase I didnt read the instructions).

Very good, the physics are wonk as hell but I still beat it a few times before calling it quits. It takes a lot of getting used to and the enemies are downright unavoidable at times, but it's a lot of fun.

I think maybe the game had been better without having to 'fight' the trees. Good job anyhow.

Solid concept that just needs a bit more polish.
Enemies sometimes damaged me when they weren't attacking, dash attack didn't work at times.
But very fun to play.

Fun idea, but the wheel itself does not feel too 'wheeley' :)

Took me a minute to grab the controls, but a nice take on this classic. Nice entry
