Really interesting take on the theme the concept and execution was really good if only it was a little longer or had levels it could be a really be a game you could build on.

The gameplay is very interesting and innovative. I like the physics based puzzle vibe.

I really like the idea. This whole thing with indirect control, changing the path, keeping the bike movement constant. I really like it!

This is a neat little game! It would be interesting to see a sort of Mario Maker-esque game with the same idea behind it. The concept is solid and I had fun playing it. Good work!

I really like the concept! such a pity is that short. Keep working on new levels, it's quite promising :)

misterkeefe 2020-04-20 16:07

this is a really promising prototype -- if you are taking it further, here's a couple of mechanics you could try

- grow/shrink the ramp - press space to flip ramp (you could then have "climbing" levels moving from platform to platform) - change ramp shape (to cube, to curve, ...)

I like indirect control games. Good job!

Intresting concept. I think this has great potential to be a great 'post-LD' game.

good idea, i realy like it, nice job

Like the idea, would be nice to make the level longer, or spawn random obstacles to make the game infinite.

Great idea. It works well, and even though it was just a demo, I had fun. This mechanic could be taken pretty far to produce a cool game.

Interesting game, also the minimal style is actually pretty good. I like the physics approach behind it :)

The game is fun

Found it incredibly hard to play and understand a bit more instructions would have been helpful.

Initioally a bit confusing but I liked the physics :)

wareya 2020-04-21 08:57

The audio gets grating fast (it would work if it changed, had music over it, etc), and you should probably have more lenience in spike-wheel collisions, but aside from that, it functions well and plays properly!

What an interesting take on the theme and genre. Would love to play a full game version of this mechanic, nice job!

I was a bit confused at first as I expected you couldnt't move the platform ahead of the cyclist if he already passed it. The game is pretty hard and I think some checkpoints would be very helpful here. Great concept.

Nice idea with a cool "one more try" feel to it. Great entry :)
