Congrats on your first Ludum Dare! This is a fun little runner, I like the art and it feels good to control. The mystery barrels are a nice touch! I wish that there could be some more dangers, like bouncing gears or something to that effect, but other then that awesome job, especially for a first LD. Hope to see you again next LD, will keep an eye out!

rapter 2017-08-01 19:36

AWESOME , sound atmosphere and mechanics , Good Idea and Good Work!!!Congratulations 5/5!!! Good Luck ^..^

matkubik 2017-08-01 20:20

@theflyingkeyboard What happened ? Does the game crash or anything else ? Are you on windows ?

matkubik 2017-08-01 20:32

@futil Thanks a lot ! It's motivating ! Yeah I could have add more dangers, I didn't really think at this while making the game, maybe I will add some features in a post ld version ! I don't know if I will be able join next ld because of studies but I will join more often some game jams on itch.io and I will post games that I'm making on itch.io so I will finish my games in the next days and post them on itch.io if you want to see them ;)

matkubik 2017-08-01 20:34

@rapter Thanks for 5/5 ! ;) I'm happy that you like the game and the sound atmosphere ! It's cool !

josehzz 2017-08-01 21:49

Nice mechanic, simple and well put, good job. The barrils should have an indication if they are going to add energy or reduce it (not talking about the random ones), I figured out right away but thats something you could improve.

matkubik 2017-08-01 22:11

@josehzz Thanks ! Yeah you're right but I totally forgotten while making the game. Maybe I'll fix that in a post ld version on my itch.io page !

plepletier 2017-08-01 22:12

Very good runner!!! It took me a while to realize that I had to get the blue and gray barrils. But after I got it I had fun with the game! Good Job

indiemaniac 2017-08-01 22:37

could have more powerups and music is a bit repetitive, but there alway room for improvement. very good for first ludum dare, the art is pretty good i liked the background the most. I like the fact that the robot runs and jumps more with more power

drazil100 2017-08-02 07:51

This game's movement was a little stiff but it wasn't bad! I had fun!

matkubik 2017-08-02 13:06

@drazil100 Thanks for your feedback, that was cool to see you playing my game thanks again !

matkubik 2017-08-02 13:07

@plepletier yeah I didn't explain it at the begin of the game. Thanks for your feedback !

matkubik 2017-08-02 13:08

@indiemaniac Yeah you're right there is a lot of things that is could have add to the game and musics aren't my strong point ! Thanks !

svr-audio 2017-08-02 14:21

The game is very simple but it cool, maybe an explanation of what to do like @plepetier said would be good, but the game is cool, the pixel art is simple but well made, the sounds are okay and fits the idea, I liked, and I would love to see an html version, maybe more people that dont have windows would play.

matkubik 2017-08-02 14:31

@svr-audio Thanks for the feedback ! Yeah it will probably be done in a post ld version of the game as the portage on other platforms !

not-a-number 2017-08-02 14:32

I'm having some issues starting your game. Nothing happens when I run the .exe

jannes-nagel 2017-08-02 14:37

@not-a-number Same for me :(

matkubik 2017-08-02 14:44

@not-a-number @jannes-nagel are you sure you run the right file ? The right file is Run'n Score.exe not Run'n Score vhost.exe and if you run the right file make sure you've c++ libraries or/and directx ones. Keep me informed !

descrout 2017-08-02 14:48

I have the same problem aswell.

matkubik 2017-08-02 14:52

@descrout have you run the right file (Run'n Score.exe)? And have you c++ and/or directx libraries installed ?

jtn191 2017-08-02 15:44

:( wouldn't open for me. this is the error message http://imgur.com/a/FsjT4

alex-tantum 2017-08-02 15:58

I also have problems with the launch. All the necessary files must be installed

michaelgrand 2017-08-02 16:29

I was able to run the game, but unfortunately I couldn't get the menu to work. Clicking on the buttons with my mouse didn't do anything, and none of the keys on my keyboard worked. When I hover over the menu buttons with my mouse they highlight, so I know that it's getting mouse input... But it just isn't doing anything when I click :(

matkubik 2017-08-02 17:56

@michaelgrand @alex-tantum @jtn191 @descrout @not-a-number @jannes-nagel @theflyingkeyboard I uploaded a second version on my itch.io page which should work with people who can't launch the game ! Keep me informed if that's working for you or not !

zirrrus 2017-08-02 19:07

Nice little runner!

I stopped after ~2 minutes, for a while it felt like it was speeding up, does the difficulty ramp up over time?

matkubik 2017-08-02 19:15

@zirrrus Yeah the speed increase every 20 seconds and after 1:40 I believe the speed doesn't change after that time ! Thanks for your feedback !

simple-ghost 2017-08-02 20:33

Yay! I got over 3 minutes! Simple, yet an ejoyable game. I dig that the character height of jump depends on it's energy level. I have never seen mechanic like this before. Also, great work with the background image and character head! Thanks for the game, I enjoyed it! Cheers :)

pixfixtv 2017-08-02 20:38

Nice simple runner. Not much else to say other than that. Good work!

matkubik 2017-08-02 21:56

@simple-ghost @pixfixtv Thanks ! Your feedbacks are really great !

hhsaez 2017-08-02 22:09

A nice runner with great graphics. It's fun to play Nice work!

matkubik 2017-08-02 22:10

@hhsaez Thanks for positive feedback !

amatwiedle 2017-08-02 22:10

It's simple and executes on what it has perfectly.

faemir 2017-08-02 22:17

A nice runner - I liked the barrel variety and the graphics were really great! It would have been good to have a little more variety on the mechanics of what the barrels did to you (especially the mystery ones) to add more variance. I managed to keep it going for a decent while where you could have been a bit meaner to the player once they got a bit further to really challenge them.

Keep up the good work and I hope you take part in LD40!

le-slo 2017-08-02 22:19

Simple but well executed. You can go beyond the right side of the screen and be on the void without taking any barrel.

pedro-romero 2017-08-02 22:50

A little, funny game. It controls well, the graphics are nice, catchy (but a little repetitive) music... I think that the main problem is that it doesn't have enough variety and it became boring after a while.

pedrowzee 2017-08-02 23:06

The fast scrolling made me a little dizzy.

lereveur 2017-08-02 23:08

An effective runner game for your first LD : congrats! Music is a bit repetitive, and it takes a little time to be challenging, but I played it for more than five minutes, and with me that's a lot for a runner because it's the kind of games I usually like. ;)

norticks 2017-08-02 23:25

liked it altough music is a bit reptitive. beside that it worked for me and played it longer than i expected :P probably 12min+, gave it high ratings because the game itself is great to me.

elit3dgaming 2017-08-03 00:32

Fun game, not too challenging (personally I like a challenge) but still very fun to play! Nice work!

harusame 2017-08-03 11:39

Congrats for your first LD ^^ It's a simple runner, not very challenging during the first 2 minutes. Graphics are good, the sound effect for jump is a bit annoying for me ^^

It's fun to play, and it worked for me ^^ (I play arround 10 minutes)

baski 2017-08-03 21:15

Simple but good runner. :)!

smokib 2017-08-03 21:54

Congratulations for your first Ludum Dare!! Simple game with cute and simple pixel art, and fund gameplay. i like it

tmpxyz 2017-08-04 11:44

Mmm, it doesn't run on Win10...

zdeno 2017-08-04 15:38

Enjoyable little game. I liked how your power level influenced your speed and jump height! Nice idea and well implemented.

Only problem is that the game becomes repetitive quite fast. I would suggest increasing difficulty over time by throwing more barrels at the player at the same time or by adding some more obstacles to it etc.

Thanks for sharing!

knorz 2017-08-04 16:34

Love your first game. You did a good job. Graphics are in par with everything else. We did also did something "simple" for our first entry so we were sure to get it completed. So nothing wrong about that!

Please try our entry aswell: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/39/disaster-on-nebula-one

dragonzlay 2017-08-04 21:37

This was nice, with a nice musical track BUT also with a horrible musical track. The main menu music was horrible and it would have been better to be silent or reuse the music from the game. Otherwise the game was nice! (Hope I didn't hurt your feelings too much)

pavelsovushkin 2017-08-05 12:27

Congrats on your first Ludum Dare! Nice Work!

hav24 2017-08-05 20:57

2:15 is my best time! It is nice for your first jam! I love the simple controls and the background music! Keep up the good work! :)

zicboy 2017-08-06 14:06

A great LD entry! maybe some tweeks can be done for the scrolling speed?

krunoslav 2017-08-06 21:56

Nice simple game. After a while it is kind repetitive, but with the music you enter to a trance and try to play more and more :D

erkberg 2017-08-07 19:44

Nice and fun little endless runner. The visuals and audio are quite nice and the mechanics work well, but could use a little more variation to keep things interesting. I felt like I never really used to crouch mechanic. Overall, I enjoyed playing this game, good job!

vasco-rodrigues 2017-08-11 21:13

It's a simple but fun game. Well built and addictive to play. Really liked the audio and art, reminded me of some old games I played. Btw, my score was 3:21 :p Good work!

valphera 2017-08-14 13:11

Simple mecanics but still fun! I really liked the sound design, and discovering what different effects the barrels have. Nice touch with the endscreen, the fact that we see our time is really cool and pushes us to do better!

gecuit 2017-08-14 13:35

Simple and fun game. It's great for improving reaction time! I liked that player jumps lower and runs slower when his battery is low. The only thing that game lacks is a tutorial. It could even be a button in the menu. Cool game in overall ;)

belga54 2017-08-14 22:34

A funny game ! The graphics are really good and I liked the music ! My stats are these : !

Great Entry 4/5 !!!! :smiley:

vkmicro 2017-08-15 22:40

To be honest, background music got rather annoying after few minutes of gameplay.

Game was nice, pretty fun and straight forward. I enjoyed how jump height was related to amount of energy you had. I think this isn't a bad game at all. Took some poking around to figure out which barrels were good and which were bad but once I got that down it was a straight road from there. Graphics were pretty decent sound effects matching the game theme and style, all in all a good game and pleasant and enjoyable experience and gameplay.

It's a very decent game, and here's **few things I'll suggest / share my opinion on that I think should be changed.** - the background music lowered by about 50% would make it a lot less annoying and a lot more enjoyable honestly, it's not bad music and fits the game theme but the volume of it makes it rather annoying I think. - Allowing character to go off screen on the right side felt weird, so that should be changed to where you can't just go off the screen.

p.s. i liked the interface, a nice little touch, and art style overall were very nice
