Hey man, I enjoyed playing your game.
The visuals and the audio set a nice mood. The amount of polish is great!
But alas I suck at the game, after around 5 minutes of play I still am stuck at a Highscore of 15 :(
Still I've got nothing to criticize but maybe the connection to the theme?
Very nice polish in this endless runner and particularly noteworthy is the music and mood. Not so much in terms of theme (I guess you fall faster?), but the mechanics are pretty solid. One gripe would be that the jump isn't always available - probably some cooldown - but it makes it a little unpredictable to use.
Minimal but very nicely executed. I enjoyed droning out with the chill music.
Really nice work on the graphics and sound. Gameplay is simple and fun, reminds me of Downwell a bit. Not sure what the relation is to the theme, but great work.
Loved the character and theme. Y’know what would be great, if the background got darker and darker as you push to the bottom, until you are literally playing in the dark.
Very cool ambiance here. Simple, to the point, and enjoyable. I do, however, wish there was a better indicator that you are falling faster (nit picky criticism)
* Great graphic * Agree to @stencilchris, wish there was a better indicator that you are falling faster
An awesome entry, reminds me of Downwell. The camera shake and collect animation are spot on. :)
This game is reaaaally satisfying to play, controls are smooth and the minimalistic graphics fit nicely. Music is great too. My only gripe is what others have already mentioned - there isn't any kind of indicator of depth or speed. Otherwise a really solid entry.
I like blue. You picked a good blue. Music is super dope as well, it would be a dope blue if music were colors.
Hertz said it best when he called this game satisfying--it has enough difficulty to encourage score chasing without putting people off. One thing that I would like is a visual indicator for the jump's recharge. Besides that, definitely could see myself playing this on a phone super often. Cool stuff!
thank you everyone for your time and feedback! I seriously appreciate it!
art! good job
I like it! Everything works very well together. Good job
Your entry is awesome, the minimalist graphics and music are setting a really pleasant atmosphere ! I really s*ck at it unfortunately and am stuck to the ridiculous highscore of 19 right now haha ! Congrats :D
The art and music of this game totally reminds me about luftrausers, really awesome! Some indication about jumping cooldown would be great.
Love the character!
Great job on this one! I liked the simple art and music, it was pretty hard but I manged to get a score of 24..
a few notes (I know you can't add these anymore.. but still): It would've been good to have somekind of an indicator for you 'UP' cooldown, even a sound could work! also some form of seeing how fast you gradually go. Gj again! I enjoyed it (:
The sound effects fit well with the music,that feels very cool!And the music maybe the best i have seen in this LD
I really enjoyed the retro style; the graphics and sounds were done well, and it felt good to play (just sluggish enough to feel like you're in water and make it a challenge, but still pretty responsive)! The diver animation worked very well, and everything felt alive.
Like the others, I think an indicator for your jump recharge and maybe one for your speed would make the game even better. It might also be nice to have a way to get a heart back every once in a while. Also, I found myself trying to use the spacebar to jump instead of the up arrow most of the time.
It seemed pretty hard at first, but I found it easier to do well when I focused on avoiding the obstacles rather than focusing on getting the coins. When I focused on getting coins, I would often work myself into a corner and get hurt; when I focused on avoiding the obstacles, I found that I could still get enough coins to get a good score along the way. My best so far is 32. Thanks for making it!
Nice game juice! Character controls feel really good and responsive. I liked your game!
Simple, elegant and really fun to play. But what connection with the theme ?
love love love the graphics, I just love the simplicity and clean look of it, feels very polished. One suggestion is that I have a hard time avoiding obstacles even with the up button, they just come too fast for my reaction time. You could maybe zoom out a little so that you can see what is ahead of you a bit more.
Fun, simple and fast game. If you need to rest, you can get close the wall and be AFK for a while.
Everything I expect for a small LD game, some polish, some polish and some polish. Turned out very simple but very addicting, like you just wanna hit that key one last time, again, and again. Well done!
This game was a challenge for me! It was quite nice to look at and play. I appreciated the simple approach but had a hard time getting a high score! That's my bad. With more practice I'm sure I could do better. Great job!
Super great entry. The art is great, it plays great, game feel is great. Everything is great. Congratulations!
Really nice "downwell-like". It was beautiful and very pleasant to play !
Nice graphics - simple and well made game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0hdEq4T8dE
so simple and perfect - really impressive game
Beautiful graphics what little there is, and I really enjoyed the music and mood too. Good job!
Great game dude! Simple but polished! I love how you always make everything fit in style and mood, from the art to the fonts and music
