Very fun, very fast, very entertaining. Beautiful smooth visuals really give a professional feel to this game. The game play is fun and creative.Adding random map generation was a great touch that made the game interesting while replaying. Personally I find it a tad bit difficult. Perhaps if it could start a lot slower, then ramp up?

Such a blast! Looks even more wonderful than the wonderful gifs posted earlier. I found some of the controls could've used tightening up (some button-action lag), and some of the patterns were kinda difficult, but simple refinements could lead to an extremely awesome runner game here. A fantastic entry for the jam.
Nice little game. Was really nice and the graphics were really nice.

Controlls really did not work well for me. I couldn't complete a single level because of that. The generated levels and overall look of the game were cool.
@Upwily
Yes, the keyboard controls are a bit uncomfortable. If possible, I suggest you to use a controller (in a post compo version I'd like to improve the keyboard control).
Very very entertaining to play. For me the difficulty was just right.
Pretty nice runner.

Awesome runner! Difficulty curve is very nice and controls are tight. Appreciate the gamepad support! :)
Looks very professional. Graphics are great and fun to play.

Nice! Nothing major to complain about.
Game is amazing! Love the visuals, transformations look good and feels good on control. I think the difficult spikes too soon. Nevertheless great game.

I really enjoyed it! Maybe I found it a little bit difficult to play, but I can feel the adrenaline through my body!
I think the game could have been much better if you had only assigned the inflate button to a different key than jump. Other than that this is an excellent entry.

Really fun! Flying is really cheated! 95% of the time, I just flied and 5% had to get smaller. Otherwise, I used only once the breaking shape. With more time, you would have been able to balance this I guess! Pretty pretty good game! Have my stars!
Excellent runner, there should be more obstacles in the air to avoid flying too long, and I mapped A button for jump, it was a great play !
I didn't know Unity 3d games could that beautiful. Other than that great gameplay. Perfect
Such a cool game, very smooth and the controls worked very well. It also has a good replay value.
That's diabolical what you put the robot through, especially when controlled by an old fart like me! Great game - I like the floating/flying mode. Nice graphics and polish. I appreciate the proc gen levels. If you're going to work on it post-jam, could you make an "easy" mode too (slower)?
Love it! Very very cool game!!! Great fun. Needs more than 5 stars ;)
Good Game. I like the look of it.

Hey this is the guy from H2G2 :D. Really fun game, graphics are awesome, some mino bugs when you go outside the track, but awesome game.
Very well done endless runner! Looks really good, the music is cool, the controls are very responsive. Well done, congrats!
Graphics are great! Gameplay is fun too, a bit challenging but cool. Nice one!

Really nice looking game. It was a bit challenging. But overall good job on your entry.
Nice 3D graphics! I loved this game. It was very fun, and it's actually one of the better endless runner games that I've played in my life. I managed to get to 718 meters at most before dying.
I also uploaded a video of your game on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0tGXiEP678

Absolutely everything in this entry is so well polished. The graphics were on point, the mechanics were well done and I like how the obstacles were procedurally generated. Had so much fun playing this (Also the robot looks like an angrier version of Marvin from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy :V).
Way too difficult and the controls weren't well explained. Particularly that the jump button doesn't actually clear jumps (you need float)
BOTALICIOUS!
So mush graphics *o* that's beautiful.
A great entry with nice controls and solid gameplay. The generation is well done.
Music fits very well the mood. Best game I played so far.
Great game, love the polish it has!

I do not really go for runners a lot, but this works pretty well. The obstacles are cool and manage to stay fresh. I wish I had a controller instead of a key board for it. That is more on me than anything. I give it two thumbs in my armpits.
Very addictive game! Had a lot of fun playing this one ;)
I took some time to get used to the controls, maybe a longer "start", letting the player test the controls, or a tutorial screen could be great. Also, for me pressing jump and holding it, instead of double press, was natural, just like Donkey Kong's Dixie ;)
Nice graphics, perfect controlls, good camera habdling. A very good entry. Please have a look on my entry, too.
Fun game, very entertaining, never had a problem with randomly generated levels. Only minor gripe would be that keyboard controls are kinda stiff, although that might just be personal preference.

Really neat game. I enjoyed the graphics, the animations and the gameplay. The only frustrating thing is when there is two ice walls and my power only breaks the first one. Excellent job mate !
Very good aesthetic for a frenetic gameplay. Nice little game. Very entertaining to play and challenging. Well done ++

This was fantastic! It took me a while to get the hang of it, but once I did it was very frantic, addictive and lots of fun.
I particularly liked that I could contiue to move the player whilst jumping, or could go small whilst in the air to prepare for the next obstacle.
I would have liked to have seen a scoreboard though... I found that the moment I died, I would hammer the button in frustration to start again immediately, but would always miss the chance to see what score I'd achieved!
A tutorial would have been nice too, as it took a while for me to understand what moves countered which obstacles.
Also, the randomness of the level generation meant some games were just 'luckier' than others. It would be nice to have a bit of a difficulty curve.
Overall one of my favourite entries though.

Awesome Game :) Love it
Awesome models and animations. The game looks amazingly polished! Great entry, had a lot of fun. My highest score was about 950+, but some portions felt impossible to get through like the really precise jumps in between the spikes
This was a fun game! My partner for the jam and I played this for quite a while after we finished our game. We loved the character and the atmosphere of the game! We beat each others scores for awhile. Super nice entry. :)

Very fun game, but I think it's too hard for me. My high score: 117 M, because the jump is weird :)
Extremely polished and neat! The knocked over robot is extremely cute. I definitely need some practice to get better at it, I'm seeing the robot knocked over a lot...
One suggestion I would make is to have the balloon-jump happen automatically by holding down the jump button, instead of clicking jump again mid air, because some of the jumps require maximum floating distance, and its too difficult to time it correctly to make it.
Design is spot on! I bookmarked it in case you keep working on it.

Hi, nice game and congratulations ! We're realizing a video with several winners of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
