On the third lvl, after I went right and fell very near to the exit the game didn't reset for another attempt. Fun game though, and it's just hard enough to keep it interesting.
i've landed miss to death zone. and game confused. but idea is very nice. reminded me Cluster Truck
Interesting concept. I wish the controls were more responsive though.
There's a very common trick often used for such games - adding a jump possibility timeout. When a player steps over a ledge, there's still some time to press the jump key. I think it's much needed here, as I often managed to step over the ledge and fall. It seems that currently it is necessary to start jumping far away from the ledge.
Also, in the first level it was confusing when I was able to just run over the gaps. Maybe the gaps are not necessary there?
P.S. It would be even more interesting to see something like this but with Trackmania-style gravity-defying roads. If you're not going to make it, I might just do that myself. :smiley:
@snake5 Thanks for the feedback! (The first level is meant to be like that because the idea is to keep running, if you stop running you'll fall between the gaps or if you jump them one at a time it's a lot harder). Thanks for the gravity-defying road suggestion - I'll give it a go!
Please could you add a mac game, I really want to play it
*Download
@game-coder28 I'll see what I can do, I've never made a mac build before :heart:

oops sorry, didn't see that my keyboard was not in the right mode : you see, if your game makes me wanna tryhard it at the point wher ei have to change keyboard language, it's a good thing.
A little sad that you chose a sea ambiance, because your game is nervous, fast, for kids like me who liked jumpcraft in Minecraft 6 years ago it's really addictive, and you could have throwed a sick eurobeat song, or anything quick, or at least a jazzy ambiance if you wanted to do a constrast with the rapid actions you can take.
The controls could be more responsive and permissive too, sometimes sick moves are a little too hard to do because the character (who can turn his head 360, left right up down it was fun to try the game with head reversed) goes too fast in a direction too quickly. But that's balancing , and for a jam game it's quite frankly cool. Plus it makes for the tryhard-kind persons (like me) a need to finish a level, so it shows that your game works. Nice ! :)
@lautregars Thanks for the detailed feedback! I might add an option where you can pick which music you want to have playing: so it can be upbeat for tryhards and calm/relaxing for others.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, even with there being no limit on how much you can turn your head! Haha :D
@game-coder28 There is now a mac download available!
Ok, Will Play
@alexpritc The Mac download doesn't work:
Screen Shot 2017-12-04 at 19.36.28.png
It should export as a .app
It didn't work for windows. There wasn't a unityplayer.dll.
@game-coder28 Sorry about that, working on a fix.
Windows port doesn't work. Unityplayer.dll missing. Looks like a cool concept though.
Ok, Thankyou @alexpritc
@game-coder28 @oliverlevay @notpresident35 They should both work now! Sorry for any inconveniences :heart:
Ok Thankyou
Love your game, first time I launched it it crashed my laptop but that was just hardware issure, It is an amazing game, Keep Up The Good work!!! :grin:
It works now! I like the concept and it was fun to play, but the mouse controls are wonky and you don't lock the mouse. I wanted to play more but I just couldn't because the mouse controls didn't work very well.
Still GG
Wonderful game, if I were a parental figure of yours I would be hella proud.
very challenging, but very fun! Kept me occupied but frustrated
I had a great deal of difficulty with the jumping controls. You might want to look up what "coyote time" is.
I entered my name went to controls and back and my name was gone.
Couldn't get passed level 3, really tried. Nice game with really nice controls
I like these types of games! This was pretty fun. If I could suggest, maybe a crosshair in the center of the screen.
**Fun:** The game's strongest aspect. The game is pretty fun to play.
**Innovation:** The gameplay seems like copied from minecraft parkour.
**Theme:** I don't have anything to say about this because not all people really care about theme. XD
**Graphics:** I think the game really lacking in graphics. You can try learn 3d modelling in Blender to make some nice low poly graphics. :)
**Audio:** I have nothing to say about this.
**Humor:** No humor.
**Mood:** No mood.
**Controls:** I think you can add "Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;" line in Update().
Overall, the game is pretty fun to play. I hope that you can try to improve your skills later on! :)
I felt the wind on my legs and water on my face. 5 stars.
It would be nice to have some aerial control. Not too much of it, because I understand that the momentum is the theme of the game, but at least some.
I found myself playing this for way longer than I thought I would. Deceptively challenging and surprisingly fun.
The ocean setting is nice, refreshing for a challenging game. I'm pretty bad at parkour games - I couldn't get past level 2, but got really close a bunch of times. I always wish I could restart from the platform I fell off instead of at the beginning. Or, if I could switch on a mode like that.
Fun, and very hard, but I'm just terrible at parkour games. Good job though!
Pretty fun game although I think controlls are a bit bad. I guess that's more or less the idea of the game but it's a bit slippy. I think it's too frustrating but still good game. Some graphics would be great like some 3D models. Just using simple cubes scaled are simple although effective.
That was a pretty neat looking game. I had a lot of trouble with the controls, but I don't know if that was just because I was bad at it or something else. All in all a really nice entry! Keep up the good work!
Really fun game! However, this is really not the best game for me, I'm so bad at jumping. At every single game. I am so bad. Timing the jumps, etc, bad... Still I liked even though I tried soooo many times.
It's got a good premise, the parkour is a good mechanic. I didn't see the connection with the theme though.
Although I'm not the best, the controls were a bit hard, specially the mouse. I'll give you the same advice that was given to me in my game: lock the cursor in the middle of the window and lock the mouse in the game. Also, maybe hide the cursor too.
I feel like for this fast paced game, some background music was missing. Something with a retro fast paced vibe. Also, some sound effects like breathing and puffing and making effort would add to the experience.
The game will also benefit greatly from the art you create. It doesn't need to be anything too fancy/complicated, but right now it feels a bit empty. Nothing that hurts the game though.
Overall great concept, had fun (in spite of my poor skills), great work. Hope you continue to develop it :)
