The game looks nice but the Dialog messages that popup interfere with the gameplay. They should automatically close when I press any button.

Thanks. That would have been better. Currently popups that interfere with gameplay also disappear after several seconds, beside being invincible during the popup ;)

The mood in the game is great. Gameplay is a little too simple though. Also, I feel that the goal takes a little too much to reach, and the fact that dying brings you back to the beginning is not necouraging me to play more :/

But the explosion and the scenery in the complex is quite badass honestly.

Would be a great minigame to a visual novel, definitely the start of an interesting dystopia. Good job!

Lovely visuals and I agree with the comments about the pop ups. they do confuse the game a little. Nice work though :D

The scenery and ambiance is really good and the game-play is pretty fun :) If I had to suggest one improvement it would be not to have to click the dialog because I had to take my hands off the keyboard between playthroughs. Overall a good entry though!

graphics and animations were nice, but the gameplay gets a little repetative after a while.

Great atmosphere, loved the stuff happening in the background made the game feel really powerful! Nice sound effects too c:

I'm a bit nitpicky, the mirrored 夢 symbol on the aircraft is bugging me. The upgrade is usable from the get go. I also managed to win and die at the same time. Don't get me wrong though, I still liked this especially the sounds =)

Nice graphics and atmosphere!

Pretty decent game. The controls are a bit clunky, and the dialogue got in the way a bit, but otherwise good.

maunovaha 2015-04-21 08:49

I liked the mood and graphics.. it definitely felt like a game :)

plams 2015-04-21 08:51

I get an "advancing wall of doom" vibe even if there's none :) Nice art!

radstar 2015-04-21 09:11

The intro reminded me Halo :P Felt guilty to kill cars on my way x) Nice game, maybe a it too long to get to the 5000 score ?

occamsrazor 2015-04-21 14:11

Very cool, loved the graphics and the aesthetic style, very well put together. I enjoyed it.

lochmann-apps 2015-04-21 14:11

Very good intro, works very solid in my browser. I also think that the gameplay is a bit too simple, but all in all well done!

horsed 2015-04-21 14:14

I died a good amount of horrible deaths :-) The graphics actually look nice. The popups got kinda annoying. The gameplay is well known and solid.

eddynardo 2015-04-21 14:14

Man...nice retro concept.I only wish i could make a wheelie with the left arrow key :P

yuigoto 2015-04-21 18:41

The soundtrack remembers me of two things: MIDI, by the way it sounds (not bad, though), and some japanese indie games.

Overall, I can totally see this as something like an "in media res" part of a bigger game or, like someone said, a minigame to a visual novel or something. :)

Dying and restarting makes the soundtrack start over the previous one still playin. :P

ajopart 2015-04-21 20:24

Niiiiice entry. Congrats. Maybe it's only me but I had difficulties to clearly distinguish down line and middle line. But nice chara design and wonderful scenery !

eregaia 2015-04-22 01:17

nice, the only time i die is when i mistook where the rubble is DX cool mind blasting

hunteraugust 2015-04-22 03:01

I have to second @TheBigShot when it comes to the buttons. I think you music doesnt match what is happening currently, its a bit too happy. (Given further development, I would like to see the cars explode when they hit the debris.)

strong99 2015-04-22 07:35

@Nuishira Completely oversaw that detail. The plane was moving differently before. It wasn't supposed to be mirrored at all.
@yuigoto Ai, sounds like a small bug.
@eddynardo On it!
@HunterAugust On it!

borgi 2015-04-22 12:39

Nice implementation, simple but cool gameplay! Good job!

fabraz 2015-04-22 15:51

Simple runner but pretty good art for the timeframe! :)

seriouslycrunchy 2015-04-23 14:44

Love the mood and graphics. Id love to see the gameplay expanded a little though.

garethiw 2015-04-24 10:38

Nice art, mood and sounds. Quite simple gameplay, and I felt the weapon maybe wasn't all that unconventional. Also, I managed to die and win at the same time - just as I was going up the ramp, some debris landed in the middle lane :D

nppro93 2015-04-24 17:25

Nice runner game; the lanes are a bit too close together in my opinion, so its hard to tell which lane obstacles are in, but solid stuff!

nppro93 2015-04-24 17:25

Nice runner game; the lanes are a bit too close together in my opinion, so its hard to tell which lane obstacles are in, but solid stuff! The layers to the visuals are slick.

dracomagna 2015-04-26 15:33

Nice visuals, the game has a pretty simple concept and feel a little slow, but it was fun to play.
Good job!

gamequester 2015-04-28 08:10

I especially liked the graphics and the music. The gameplay was also fun, but a bit repetitive. Good Job!

Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems like my ability doesn't always trigger. The stationary objects really need to be tied to the road better - I got fierce motion-sickness, something I rarely encounter in games.
