Thanks for posting your game! I really enjoyed the background music, and the art style meshed very well with the theme. Two things I would change if possible: 1) I loved the idea of the foot, and the shadow was a great touch, but because of their static nature it seemed to force you into the same "lane" every time, which took out a lot of the interaction with that mechanic. 2) My first few deaths were confusing as I had a hard time telling what had happened. Good work!
Nicely done endless runner @ibispi!
The dodging shoes or fly swatter makes fun. The soundtrack is good choosen. But what your game need is some king of counter to give player feedback.
Overall a cool entry :smile:
Pretty good runner. I wish there was a bit more feedback (or even a pause!) when you die.
We are just having the same kind of problem, just from the other side, so your game made me smile. The overall game is very nice, but little but rough ;)
The game is nice with different types of obstacles or "maps".
I enjoyed the game. Those swatters were challenging, but I liked that the there was always that one row where you can go through the shoe. Congrats on finishing!
Lose condition is bit sudden, maybe some sorts game over screen or even simple message would have made it more clear. I liked visuals and animations on the cockroach.
Not bad :) I appreciated that my progress was saved, because I had to stop playing at some point. The controls were fine, the difficulty was reasonable – took me a couple of attempts for each level, and every obstacle was well-defined, so I couldn't really blame the obstacles for my deaths. On the other hand, some of the difficulty was in the form of memorisation of the levels, which seems a bit artificial. Some minor improvements: the tennis balls could be green or something not as similar to the background; the music (which was pretty nice) could loop seamlessly.
Nice job overall!
Urg - those roaches are a little bit too realistic! :-) Loved the game - was easy to get started and see what to do. I also would have liked a score and a message or something when I died. Certainly worth scaling up and polishing :-)
