World championship of jumping over national items? :D

I loved the nationalization of rewards.

Really simple but kind of funny. The choice of different country and theme is nice, and the running animation is hilarious :smile:

I love going to australia to jump over koalas XD The jump physics are a bit sharp. Possibly intentional. Just felt like I had to be really close to objects to successfully jump over them.

fun concept, interesting take on the theme

This seems like one of your first approaches to games and I would like to give you some feedback. - The jump can be frustrating because of how fast you land. - The obstacles doesn't always appear with enough space to jump them all. I would like to congratulate you for making the game and including things like animations, music and scenes. But you must have the idea of making something enjoyable for the player. Keep on it!

It works on a Mac! That's always good ;) as @diegoctorguet said, the obstacles are sometimes impossible to pass. The player animation for running seems to be really fast too - it was running at ~60fps so it could just be that the animation was made for 30fps? It didn't take away from the experience though. I enjoy endless runners, and enjoyed this. Good job!

It also works on Linux \o/. I liked the music and the concept, but I agree with the others regarding flaws, in particular if some randomized layouts are impassable it becomes about restarting until you get one that allows you to proceed further and less about skill. Great job overall though, especially on the music

I like getting different items as gifts for higher scores.

Fun game! I like the idea of going to different countries and jumping over their stuff ;) I also loved the music. Good job! 10/10 running animation

The programmer graphics and somewhat unpolished game logic suggest that this should be an also-ran LD entry with nothing much going on but… It works. The graphics become charming, the rewards are cute and the music is really excellent. The music is by far the best part of the game and what pulls it all together. I got top scores (>2400) in all levels :) Brilliant.

Excellent music and I liked the possibility of choosing the country :) ! Graphics could be much better. The jumps feel weird and the hitbox are too big but overall it works.

I get a gameboy (10/10) :smile:

I love the idea of travelling to different cities and to have some national attractions in the background and some local things to jump over. Regarding the LD theme, I see the "world" theme addressed, but I'm not sure about the "small world". After all you show a big world with some particular cities. The animation was very fast in my case. Not sure if it is depending on computer speed, if yes, I recommend to add a timer to keep the speed fixed. The jumping in the beginning had to be quite exact in order not to land on an obstacle. It becomes easier later when the scrolling gets faster. Sometimes, there were multiple obstacles close to each other which made it impossible to succeed in the jump.

Simple and fun! Kinda got easier the more speed you got

sleepystudios 2017-05-08 18:57

Pretty simple stuff. Animations bugged out for me (not sure if the player's intended animation speed was meant to be that fast) and there were a lot of "waves" that came doubled up so it was impossible to jump over them.

kirenio 2017-05-09 12:55

I'll join everyone in saying that this is simple and fun game. While animation was weird it got kinda halarious as the game was speeding up faster and faster. Loved the Gameboy color I got awarded and hand a laugh at awards for American and French levels. I had a very hard time with Australian level.

Sometimes objects would generate just so that you can't jump over them as they were taking way too much space in length. And jumping in the middle between them, if there was space to do, was ineffective too as you could not instantly jump again. So highscore is directly tied to how lucky you are.

hey for me at first stage is too hard I die so fast but funnny game

athomicus 2017-05-10 07:38

good things is another countries, uff 1610 points - silver flag of USA - good

megalink 2017-05-10 08:42

What a neat game. The rewards in this game are quite funny, and the art is very simple but has an interesting style to it. Good job!

alexandr-rum 2017-05-10 14:42

I like traveling (like Google maps) and jumping with pleasure)) thanks, thanks to your game, I studied the flag of Australia.

A fun little game, with a nice depth to it. It was cool to see other countries. It was even cool to see the art style. Some levels were pretty difficult, leading to me eventually stopping (Maybe I'll pick it up later) but the gameplay was solid enough.

The game itself had a lot of depth into it with rewards and traveling. Also, the animations were a fun thing to see xD
