Oh hey, it's an autorunner. Seems to rely a bit much on memorisation and luck which unfortunately diminishes the fun quite a bit. Could be zoomed out enough to see where you're jumping and bit more vertical movement too.

Basing on your comments it was a learning experience though, so I hope to see your next work for LD40!

Very bad choice in music, game is quite unresponsible and as meantioned before, camera could use increasing the size.

Guy with headphones is cool, but other stuff are well described above in comments. Hope to see your finished project on LD40!

The music is really, really grating. Remember, when in doubt: just write some low-pitch arpeggios. Maybe look into that for LD40 :)

Congrats on your entry, looking forward to seeing you for ld40!

Nice work though ! Appreciate the idea, it could result in something very good !

Hmm..the guy is cool. The rest is really unfinished. But the core mechanics are there. Next time try to add a simple GameOver Level and a Simple "StartLevel" so you feel when game restarts :) Just a simple black screen with a small textbox could be enough.

Good luck next time - hoverboard games are cool.

Thanks so much for the honest feedback and tips! I've enjoyed this experience and will definitely be back for 40. (Hoping for better music next time) It's amazing seeing these comments on my work and I will take every word and learn from it! Thanks everyone and happy Jamming

nice work men! you work alone in it and we all know how much that cost! I love the way it hoover and the control are quite responsive, the camera thing and music like all said before are the main problem , but that can be improve.

Good job, it is hard doing a game I could not do what I want in my game, is tough. Your game is cool and it works the art and sounds are good for me.

Don't worry I've submitted incomplete stuff before to LDjam so it happens. I could see where you was going with this and given more time could of been a more fleshed out and polished game but as it stands it's not terrible and can be quite fun and challenging to play. It's all about learning and developing your skills, so I look forward to seeing what you make at the next jam! :D
