Took me a while to get used to the one tap one step mechanic, but finally figured it out. could be an option to have a continuous movement instead of individual steps. Also shoutout to the wilhelm scream.

A simple and well made game. The controls are good to me, they're easy to get used to. Maybe it could have a bit more variety, but I really don't have any idea on how you would do that :p Couldn't understand where the theme was. Keep up the good work! :)
Nice little game you have here, very well done!
Come check out my game if you like! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/virus-detected
@vasco-rodrigues Thanks for your comment.
The theme is that you run faster the more money you collect, and it makes the game harder. Mr Pump gets so obsessed that he wants more and more, thus running faster. ;)
@yodog I would like to try your game but I can't find it on your profile. The "Games" tab is missing.
I want to rate audio for the use of the wilhelm scream but I guess I'll have to put those points into mood. Nice looking game, character design made me chuckle.
I liked the art you did, looks pretty good. The game was also pretty funny! I would have liked to have been able to hold down the move key instead of tapping (as others have said).
A arte é razoável, mas tive problemas com lentidão quando eu joguei.
O gameplay funciona, mas não é nada inovador e fica repetitivo rapidamente.
Talvez se você colocasse mais variedade de obstáculos e inimigos ou até power ups ficasse mais interessante de ser jogado.
Uma dica que eu tenho para te dar é colocar o botão de reiniciar no teclado já que o jogo é controlado no teclado para o jogador não ter que ficar alterando entre o teclado e o mouse toda vez que morrer.
Enfim, o jogo não é ruim, mas tem muito a melhorar ainda.
@doomshmuck and @yodog, We have changed the controlls according to your feedback, thank you!
(The player can now either tap, or hold down a key to move, but the character will only stop in his lane.)
Simple and neat infinite runner game. Good job on the art and programming. I had no issues playing this game and it was fun. Gotta collect them :dollar:!
I enjoyed the sense of humor put into this game. The Wilhelm scream was definitely unexpected. Great music and artwork. The controls felt natural to me. Good job on this game!
Simple but enjoyable game. I like the graphics and art style
Looks good, didn't have any problems with the controls :)
Nice Game, it just often happens that the police just changed when i was close to them, that i wan't able to get away from them. I don't know if later the game gets faster, but it would normally be great to increase the speed and police amount, but also have them move more "stable".
Bonus points for Wilhelm scream :D controls could be a bit more fluid, but overall a nice game
IRS caught me!!! :) Congratz on putting this together, it's pretty playable!
This is simple and fun. I would have liked a bit more to do, but overall a well made game. Well done.
Simple little game that required no explanation on how-to-play and immediately made sense. I found it hard to stay engaged after a couple of tries, some type of basic upgrade system would have helped in that regard.
The art is pretty solid, and I didn't need to read that the protagonist is named Ronald Pump to see who he was meant to look like. :smile: There's some room for improvement in the protagonist's walking animation, it felt a little floaty.
Nice job!
@reax Awesome! being able to hold down the move arrows makes a big difference for me. Weird that you couldn't see my game. check it out here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/tony-hawks-hatchback-stunt-simulator-ghost-protocol
Gave you 5 across the board because we made very similar games :)
Interestingly I find the game becoming easier as you progress, being speedy avoids that tax-men change direction while on screen. It makes for a super-rewarding gameplay: first runs you have a though time collecting ~5 wealth, the you get it and collect ~30 easilly. Also I love how this game about money renames the US president to "Pump" which is an actual word in finance :) All in all, good game and great job!
