Dang, the music actually creeped me out, nice job setting the atmosphere! The basketball-sounding sound was a bit distracting though, and the physics could use some work.

andrew-garcia 2018-12-03 07:38

The sprites and gameplay give me a real Castlevania/Canabalt vibe and I love it. I'd get stuck with 0 forward momentum at some parts though, just waiting to die. Cool little arcade-y concept though!

econgamer 2018-12-03 14:48

My favorite kind of pixel art! Fast-paced platformer makes me feel really nervous. Well done!~🧟‍♂️

oxrock 2018-12-03 15:18

I think this is really good actually. It looks nice, sounds good and has super simple mechanics that you understand immediately.

drunkardwolf 2018-12-03 16:39

Nice graphics and audio, only issue I had was with the jumping, seems to not work sometimes. Otherwise, great work.

zsolt 2018-12-03 16:58

Nice game,I like your pixel graph.

kibou-entertainment 2018-12-03 17:12

Add more features and it's a very good endless runner :D Kudos!

zzcalvinzz 2018-12-03 17:20

great endless runner. I love the color change to indicate that the floor is going to fall, and it's hilarious when I slow down from a crate and a red guy just jumps me at lightning speed haha. Awesome job!

ekin 2018-12-03 17:22

easy but funny game. maybe you can set the speed a little bit low at the beginning. i love the art. great work^^

fernando-tonon-de-rossi 2018-12-03 17:38

Wow pretty funny game, the music, and sound made me feel like I'm in a Rave party! :smiley: I liked most the graphics and the idea of fleeing from the cultists. I think some fighting back would be nice, but I understand that the guy just wanted to get as far as possible from those cultists! Nice game!

f4kethis 2018-12-03 17:45

@fernando-tonon-de-rossi Thanks! And yeah I wanted a way of fighting back as well, set up keybindings for an attack, but wound up cutting it for the sake of time.

niborious 2018-12-03 18:26

Nice Game! I unfortunately got softlocked when an enemy threw a rock at me and then I landed in front of it and on top of it at the same time. It was blocking me from moving forward and I couldn't jump, and nothing else came to kill me so I was stuck. But was still a fun infinite runner! I really like the art style!

slowpro 2018-12-03 18:27

the atmosphere is great! i feel like you run abit to fast, you cant see what you are supposed to avoid

bradur 2018-12-03 18:36

The game is so fast it really feels like you're in a rush. It's quite hard because of that, especially those guys that stand still and throw stones at you are hard to avoid. The graphics & music work well together to create a creepy mood.

garymarance 2018-12-03 18:56

I didn't go far but sure enjoyed the game ! Nice graphics (I especially love the colours), good rythm and atmosphere. The physics were a bit harsh though and I think the cultist runners are a bit too fast, just a bit. Congrats on the good job, had fun ! :)

cowa 2018-12-03 19:05

Graphics are really good. Congrats! Otherwise the game is not very original, it's an endless runner. BUT the atmosphere is really great. Well done.

sapphiris 2018-12-03 19:30

I love the music, it really gives the atmosphere. I think the game should start slower and get faster as the time passes though, it's difficult to track the movement since the beginning this way.

Well done :smile:

daruudaruu 2018-12-03 19:35

A bit rough. The overall idea is cool, but the game will surely benefit by having a slower start! Also those enemies who push you back really break the momentum, they are sooo hard to evade.

kelbg 2018-12-03 20:34

Found a bug where your character can get stuck at the start: thelamb_bug.gif

It happens if you jump as soon as the game starts, I think.

Other than that, the game is fun, has a nice atmosphere and graphics. I do wish the enemies didn't just appear so suddenly, it's hard to avoid them sometimes.

gri-bel 2018-12-03 20:38

Very good pixel art)

deathbysnail 2018-12-03 22:16

Neato. Who's placing all these crates in the wood though!

f4kethis 2018-12-03 22:39

@deathbysnail Ahaha, yeah, it was originally going to be indoors but I was running out of steam when it came time for set-dressing and decided it would be easier to do it outdoors - the crates were already made and I didn't know what to turn them into. I guess stumps would have worked, but I'm just gonna say that this is a storage forest.

f4kethis 2018-12-03 22:44

@sapphiris @daruudaruu Thanks for the feedback! A lot of people saying it's too fast to start, I'll definitely keep that in mind if this project goes any further.

100th-coin 2018-12-04 01:06

This was enjoyable. The protagonist looks like Zapp Brannigan! Heads up, the moon parallaxing is the same speed even when the character is running slower or dead.

okuar 2018-12-04 01:22

Nice work! It's looks like a bit hard but in the end u used to it and then feels more enjoyable. GB!

ellenack 2018-12-04 03:31

Overall its a nice little game. I would add a bit more feedback on incoming threats though.

twenty5clocks 2018-12-04 03:32

Good game. I'm a sucker for endless runners. I like how the music builds too. I could play this for hours. Unfortunately there are more games to rate. I might come back to this one.

mtanton 2018-12-04 04:34

Good atmosphere! At first I was really confused because I launched in fullscreen, and it was running so slowly that the character was barely moving. Fixed after minimizing though. Fun little runner.

me-fame-u-game 2018-12-04 16:21

Good game, however a bit slower would be nice, so that you can actually react not and just jump and hope ... Also comming down from the jump faster would be nice aswell, or make it dynamic. Unfortunately I was not able to hear any music / sound, so the atmosphere was not there for me at all :/

noa-calice 2018-12-04 16:42

Nice little endless runner :) ! And great looking pixel art !

naya-rangel 2018-12-04 16:48

Fun runner! The pixel art is really cool. Had some issues getting stuck on top of rocks, but overall it's good!

royur 2018-12-04 17:40

stuck on the beginning. the character won't move.

markusfisch 2018-12-04 21:25

That drum is really driving! And it fits the scene perfectly! Nice!

beats 2018-12-05 06:04

The zombies jump you pretty quick

jens-steenmetz 2018-12-05 12:19

Great atmosphere! I liked the game, altough it was too hard to dodge enemies coming from behind sometimes

gri-bel 2018-12-06 10:12

Amazing game with cool graphics!)

awix 2018-12-06 15:49

An interesting game with a kind of mechanics. I put a rating) Please rating and me, thanks in advance)

christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2018-12-06 17:33

This is lovely! I hated the enemies coming from behind, but liked the runner :) Good job

willmurderface 2018-12-06 19:06

High score 8988. I genuinely laughed out loud the first time I set off a trap and it inadvertently killed one of those rock throwing bastards!

sadsmile 2018-12-06 23:25

Neat little game, but really needs tighter controls! (especially if the the only thing you can do is jump!)

sadzanenyama 2018-12-07 09:24

The jumping seems a little unresponsive, it would often take a while for my character to actually jump. The music is very good and I like the background sprites although I was a little confused as to what was part of the background and what I was supposed to jump over
