The game was not bad, i liked it. tho the clicking sound whenever you missed something is really annoying, it made me stop playing quite fast

Looks great, and really well polished. I wish there was something rolling behind him indie style.

Pretty interesting game! Loved the procedural generation.

Everything takes too long though. You should consider speeding the game up!

Good luck! :)

Great looking game. Without the text it is almost impossible to know what to do and where exactly to press. I would try and add some visual queues to the game. But as I said the graphics are awesome and it's amazing how much effort you managed to put into it in such a short time.

Nice game. I I felt really stupid when I dropped a boulder on the road :)

Nice one ! Great game mechanics with proper animations. Wish were was a bit more efforts on the audio to increase the "run for your life" concept !

Nice game! Make it randomly generated make it less repetitive. I make 261! Maybe that it miss a little bit action. Congratulation.

Terrific! I'm baffled by this game being made in only two days. I don't really have any complaints other than it getting a bit stale, when you get to know the traps, but still I'm sure this game will place somewhere in the top.

bigtinygames 2020-04-20 08:36

@gerbo There is no sound on missing target besides your own mouse click :D (didn't implement such a thing at all, checked on chrome and firefox if it somehow got to the game and there is no sound for missing targets as far as I know :O) @willoftw thanks for your feedback, I thought about having something like that but in the end ended up scraping this idea to give player posibility to reduce tempo and make space for some more complicated tiles like logic ridles (you can stop your little adventurer by clicking on him)

bigtinygames 2020-04-20 08:52

@majk-fl even I sometimes get caught up in this trap :D @verttixpertti two days was actualy the reason for soo little trap count :( @munmungames this is my first time making audio for games as it is my first solo jam game (I'd totaly add some kind of Indiana like music if I could make it - I even tried to make it using boscaceoil but it ended up in trash bin) @goldfish-games I tested tempo on my casual gamer gf and it seemed to be challenging (I understand tho that it might be slow for us - pro hardcore gamers :D)

Nice game to play, but unfortunately there is no music. Love the randomized obstacle though.. Nice..​

It's fun to try and keep him alive, but I think I'd prefer some progression thru levels, kind of like bit.trip. And I enjoy that you can press willy-nilly and trap yourself, very clever.

As feedback, I would replace the arrows with outlining clickables, as they clutter the screen easily.

scintillae-creations 2020-04-20 14:26

It's nice and funny game. I would maybe prefer gameplay, where you can't stop the adventurer for unlimited time, which would put some pressure on the player. Really good work on the traps and level generation, the swinging scythes are quite intimidating.

Really nice graphics! I can imagine seeing that on phone.

bigtinygames 2020-04-20 16:04

@the1 Thank you for yor feedback, I checked if it is possible to play it on phone and it actualy is even without any magic of porting to mobile. (I think I'll make android version in free time along with content update and implementing stuff from feedback after jam ends)

the1 2020-04-20 16:07

@bigtinygames will definitely try ;)

zalop 2020-04-20 16:33

I really love the art. From the character to the environment. It made it stand out and was a really fun game. Really fun level generation and mechanics

antonis-koutsouradis 2020-04-20 18:11

Cant stop playing ! damn good job

entitynull 2020-04-20 18:54

Love the walk cycle! The audio was kinda simplistic and didn't match the visuals all that much, but non-BFXR audio is difficult to create, so...

camilo-quintero 2020-04-21 02:36

Good game! It feels nice just to click and watch, it has tension and excitement! I feel like the sound could use some improvement, but overall it's a pretty cool game! Congrats! :D

tom-kun 2020-04-21 05:01

I like the overall experience of the game but I recommend to add a background music since player spend a lot of time watching. Good job!

thomas-bringer 2020-04-21 16:54

Nice game! Liked the "control the environment not the player" idea haha. Great visuals & particles, sfx are nice, too. Good job! :)

43sam 2020-04-21 20:25

This game is nice and you can tell it's very polished! This would make a great mobile game!

codyhansen 2020-04-22 00:08

I could see myself wasting a lot of time playing this on mobile!

The game is simple, but a surprising amount of fun! The procedural gameplay makes each playthrough a little more new and less monotonous than it easily could have been.

I lost once by dropping a boulder and blocking my own path, which made me enjoy this game a little more. I lost because I stopped paying attention, and immediately was pulled back in and shown the importance of attentiveness in the game. Well done.

The tapping for each obstacle lends itself well to the idea of mobile and I really hope you pursue it!

jk5000 2020-04-22 17:31

This is a very fun and well made little game. I really likes like the graphics and the animations. The procedural gameplay is okay, but sometimes it make the levels really difficult. Overall is this good jam game. Well done.

thx4nothing 2020-04-26 17:01

Really cool game! I liked those particle effects alot :D
