The field view is so short, escaping is random, which is quite frustrating.
The art and audio are really nice, if you expended a bit the window it cool be really cool :)

Cute little game. I wish I just could see a little more ahead of me.
This is really cute, & I love the art style. However, the time the player has to react to the obstacles is just a split-second too short to feel satisfying. With a little polish this could do well on mobile, I think!
so much beautiful,but the player must see the obstacle in advance, else the game gets an unfair difficulty
Fun little game, nice art style :)
It's a little bit too difficult though.
Would be better if landscape window.
The art is so cute!
Cute game but unplayable because i couldn't see the next obstacle sooner. Maybe try with a horizontal view instead of vertical.
The art is nice and the audio fits well with the mood of the game.
Good job :)
Nice art and overall feel. I would agree with a lot of the preceding posts, it became too difficult due to a lack of vision with obstacles. Feels like it was designed for vertical mobile, should be horizontal for this type of game imo. Great job otherwise though.
Very cute character and I liked how I changed colour when I died. But I died a lot!
I wonder if some colour coding would help the obstacles stand out from each other more? Or maybe as other are saying it's a view distance issue.
very sweet design, until i remember its on fire :( my best was 8 points, my average was like 1.. good work.
I agree with what others say here. Solid idea, but the view window is so small that it makes it kinda difficult.
Cute game. I like the music and art! I agree with some of the other comments that the field of view is a bit too narrow and means you need lightning reflexes to get a high score. Even so, great job!
This game looks and sounds awesome! Shame is, its too dang hard to play. It's mostly because I have such a short reaction period to judge what to do next, as well as the hitboxes on the obstacles being unforgiving.
Adorable game, though the field of view is a little too small for my liking, however the game is still fun to play. Nice job!
Art, audio, and controls are fine. The design is a bit off. A wider view would be better. Plus, with a wider view you could focus on different types of hazards and terrain. Good work nonetheless.
Fun music and graphics. Good animations.
Such a great looking game! I'm going to have to express the same sentiments here - you aren't given enough time between when you see the obstacle and when you can react to it.
It's super frustrating and while the game sounds nice and looks nice, I stopped after my third death.
I like it! Very cute art and music. Love the way he rolls. Only complaint is that I'm not sure why it is such a skinny portrait layout. It feels like an unfair restraint to have such a limited view. I had fun with it though, great job!
Great concept and the graphics are great too. I have a problem with the field of view however. The hazards come in way too fast at the get-go and the actual hazards kind of blend in with the background. I didn't know what I was getting hit by the first few times I've died.
Very nice art and music. Great job
Well, what is there to say... it's a dude on fire :)
Looks very slick. Would prefered if there was more warning of what was coming to avoid.
Absolutely lovely visuals and audio. However, I felt like I didn't have enough time to react to oncoming obstacles. As others have said, this could probably easily be solved with a slightly larger viewport.
Nice graphics!
Adorable! Seems a bit hard though, would be nice if it started slower then ramped up the speed.
As others have said, the style and art direction is spot on, but the field of view is way too narrow to make the game fun. simplest change would be to move the player off center so that you have a little bit more time to see what's coming. The other change would be to switch to a horizontal orientation so that there's more space between the edge of the screen and the player.
I can repeat the comments of other people that it is very frustrating not to see ahead.
Super well polished game. The aspect ratio makes me feel like I'm going to see this on mobile any day now. Good luck with it.
I thought it was a bit frustrating.. I dont go well in these fast reaction games. The art is nice though. Congrats.
Really polished graphics and nice music! Quite hard but very additive too! Well done!
Ahmm, the graphics very nice and I'm quite fans of it. The gameplay... i recommend the view need to be expand bigger letting players to identify the upcoming obstacles =T
Nice music...
The game is very difficult at first, maybe a bit slower pace when the game starts? Anyhow, the controls were crisp and the grahpics, sound and music worked together well. Well done!
Unique entry. Amazing!
Cute as all hell but yeah, like others have said, it should really be in landscape. Extremely hard to play, I think my best score was 5 and I played for around 5 minutes xD
Very cute, I like they change colours, your graphics is crisp. But I never made it to more than 5 :D
Dev, what was your highest score while making this?!? I got 3
way too little time to react. makes it super hard
Damn that was hard, maybe next time you turn the screen to give player more time to react?
Great art thou :)
It would be better to give the players more reaction time.
Really hard game I only managed to get 4
At first I thought I was getting old and reactions were waning, but then the comments made me feel better =)
I love the art and the music but it gave the same frustration as flappy bird because it is so hard. The player just don't get enough reaction time.
Jeez, this game is bloody hard! Barely any time to react to the obstacles... Otherwise, it's rather well-polished.
Would have liked more time (or at least varying time) to react, and more mechanics.
Nice :D
The art is really nice and I like the idea but unfortunately I feel like the game is kind of ruined because of the FOV. It seems more up to chance than skill when playing this game. Good job nonetheless!
wish i could see a bit more
This is cute! I found the difficulty far too high on account of only being able to see a really short distance in front of the character though.
Looks really nice, the character design and animation are really cute and with some tweaks to the difficulty/play-ability, would be a fun little game.
Cute game! The graphics, animations and audio are all lovely.
Unfortunately the obstacles appear just a little too quickly.. another half-second or so to give time to react would make this WAY more enjoyable.
Hey ! Wich one of you little rascals set the ass of this poor creature on fire !?
Very cute vector-artstyle. Animations were also pretty fluid, except for the jump which felt a bit stiff.
The gameplay was pretty serviceable although I would've prefered a horizontal view instead, so I could see a little bit more ahead of myself and plan out my moves. Especially as the obstacles were randomly generated.
Otherwise, it's pretty nice. Could definitely see myself playing it on my phone :).
The game is really hard but got me addicted so that's good. Nice graphics!
Hey!
Thought the art was cool, gameplay gets frustrating. You have a lot of vertical space that isn't really that useful, while hazards appear on the left and you don't get enough time to react.
This is a really solid package.
Nice graphics and audio and tight gameplay!
It was a little hard to dodge sometimes because you don't get much time to see what's coming, but other than that,
Gooooooooood job!
Like many have said, the art is beautiful but the execution is kinda flawed. Alot have said its just too short a time to react to incoming obstacles but I think you intended that based on the resolution this game starts in.
I think the real problem is that its hard to distinguish between the spikey stuff your supposed to avoid and the background. Like, the first three times I played I literally thought i just died from nothing. Mike the stuff your dodging a different color or shape or something and that'll make it alot better I think.
The View must be bigger or my reaction time is to long.
Pretty cute. Music got on my nerve after a while though.
High score: 21 (this shit's hard!)
I really like how the character changes color every round. it adds variety to an extremely simple game.
the time of reaction is very shot, but everything else is really good! well done!
Nice good, good art, but I feel as the field of view is not big enough. It's sort of like a 50/50 chance of which key to press. But good work.
Nice new approach on a well-known and simple concept ;)
Well I liked it but I really wish it was horizontal rather than vertical...It would give more time to prepare for obstacles.
Very cute game !
I HATE YOU CUTE LITTLE ADORABLE MONSTER!
kind of hard to see what is coming but still a fun idea!
Wow, solid entry! Like others said you have a split second to react which makes a barrier for new players. Eventually you'll get better but how many players would stick around? I think it would be better to put the creature a little to the right so you have more view of the obstacles. Great game nonetheless!
Nice job here! You've done a great work I can't wait mobile version
Needs more field of view... but other than that a cool little game.
The field of view is pretty small so it's quite hard to react to obstacles properly but I really love how smooth the animations were made.
Great game, congrats ! A bit hard for me, but the graphics, music and animation are really pleasant.
Hard to see what would be ahead of me, kind of frustrating but that's okay because I like frustrating games! c:
well.. this game is very hard or i'm just to bad :D .. but overall good job :)
the game Looks very polished and by the graphics side its ready to ship, but I think there are better ways to make an endless runner hard than giving the Player a short reaction time...
