Funny, solid, simple game! Played it quite a few times but wasn't ever quite able to dodge it all. Great job!

Making a WebGL build is always a good call if you have the time/experience to try, so that's a great update to make.

Just be careful when trusting the build settings completely :p often times things will break on different platforms, especially when the libraries or plugins get large and complicated.

Fun little game. More of a falling out of space than running, but it's essentially him running downward so I'll count it :eyes:

I wonder where you got the idea of taking a chinese man and send him to space with his hat and his rocket chair going down.

Fun little game! I really like the vibe. One thing I noticed is that there's a little gap in the tiling between successive versions of the background.

I liked it. The fireworks remind me of those Reddit up buttons.

You should note in your links that this is a browser-based game so people know they don't have to download anything! Meanwhile, I like the reference to Wan Hu. I like the graphics, although that costume is for peasants, very inappropriate for an official like Wan Hu. Also, his top should fold left-side over right-side. The way it's drawn in the game is how people are dressed for burial. My biggest actual complaint is that the game is a little too simple; although I started crashing into rockets, I didn't feel engaged enough to worry. Part of the problem is that the screen is too big for my monitor; I can't see the top and the bottom together. Once in a while, there's a line across the sky, possibly where your background repeats. Overall, a solid effort! I'm glad I checked it out.

Hey guys, thanks for your kind feedback!

@johan-vischer, thank you for advice. Yes, I have problems with position of UI elements and in some reason screen high is cropped.

@anstabo, it's a chinese legend I heard a long time ago. Also this theme was in MythBusters :)

@wrenpirate, I am very impressed with your knowledge of сhinese folk clothes! Unfortunately, I did not have time to study this issue. About the fact that the game is simple. I barely passed the level myself. Tester alpha version of the game (my wife) could not pass beyond the middle. So I had to reduce the damage from the obstacles and increase the player's health. There was not enough time for a more subtle solution to this problem.

Nice entry! Liked the graphics and the music. I like the narrative it told too XD

Very fun game, I didn't manage to reach the ground unfortunately :/

jerripo 2018-08-16 21:52

The game itself is very simple, but the story makes it interesting to play and look at!

It would also be good to have less health, but instead, have some health packs that appear along the way. I notice I don't start worrying about his health at the start since there's so much health, and the rockets come so slowly. But once it picks up, the health starts draining fast, and obstacles become harder and harder to avoid.

I liked it, good game.

enot487 2018-08-17 16:26

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

@ryanjavanshir, that story always amused me :D

@devwithmartinus, yes, there are some problems with difficulty. I think, mechanics of restoring health by some things can fix this.

@jerripo, I totally agree with you. I was planning on adding something like flying saucers of rice to restore health, but did not have time to deadline.

A solid little game, with SFX, graphics, music and mechanics that develop over time. I've just watched Lets Plays of "Just Shapes n' Beats", so I guess my suggestion to improve it is to have cool integration with the music :smile:

ismael-rodriguez 2018-08-17 21:07

Funny concept. Simple but Solid game play. I liked the music!

zicboy 2018-08-18 08:38

Awesome game! I enjoy the art and mood of it. Keep up the good work!

enot487 2018-08-20 10:05

Thanks for playing!

@divinenephron, it's an interesting idea, maybe I'll try it sometime.

@ismael-rodriguez, I'm glad you liked it!

@zicboy, that's cool! And thank you for your good wish!

stefan-jovanovic 2018-08-20 17:17

Interesting and really funny idea! Graphics and overall mood is great as well as the audio! Keep up the good work! :smile:
