Awesome game, a lot of fun! My record is 25!

Great game, and awesome art! Controls felt a little too floaty, might have preferred a quicker snappier return to the ground when you let go of jump so you are not penalized so much from jumping high.

Collisions can be pretty punishing but other than that it's a cool little gem! Chill graphics and atmosphere. Loved it!

mark-kelly 2020-10-05 16:58

Fun simple game, great job!

thebooksnail 2020-10-05 16:58

Great graphics and I loved the progression of difficulty.

connorthompson 2020-10-05 17:06

Great graphics and a nice take on the theme!

elizir 2020-10-05 17:09

Very nice game! Similiar to mine but you have waaaay better graphics and the feeling overall is amazing :heart: really like your project :smile:

Nice game, very good graphics, chill music. Very solid entry! Managed to only get a score of 15. :(

Smooth gameplay. Not revolutionary, yet super effective. Good Job!

sparrow-lynn 2020-10-05 20:52

Love it, the walker is super cute, the speed increase makes for effective minimalism, and the jump has a nice feel to it.

sparrow-lynn 2020-10-05 21:01

In the description though, you might add that W is always high jump and Up Arrow is always low jump, but I think mystique is valid too.

Very cool little game. It would be perfect as a smartphone game!

cyphyrgriffon 2020-10-06 01:03

This was a cute little game! I like that it wasn't just the two towers -- you had me in the first half there, ngl. Good work!

tyrael 2020-10-06 05:12

@sparrow-lynn It's actually a bug that you can't jump high with the up arrow. Glad you liked it.

tyrael 2020-10-06 05:12

@coding4rtist You can download it for Android on the itch page ;)

adil 2020-10-06 13:14

Very simple and very good, I even don't know what to add to my feedback). Great project, but it's not ambitious

nekorio 2020-10-06 13:16

Cool little game, the collider are may be a little too high I think so it's frustrating sometimes.

lexi 2020-10-06 13:19

Nice graphics & audio! Nice entry!

Some feedback: I thought the difficulty was quite low in the beginning to the point where I was wondering if anything was even changing, maybe you could just drop the first 3-4 levels.

My hi-score is 14, the satellite aligned with the towers in a way that I couldn't jump over it unfortunately :(

fpoli 2020-10-06 13:28

Very simple concept, but very well implemented. The responsiveness felt quite good, and the art is very nice. I made 15 points. I think it starts very slow though, I would increase the base dificulty a little bit more, but apart from that, I find that the dificulty curve is well made. Congrats!

tyrael 2020-10-06 13:29

@lexi I agree that the meteor could come a bit earlier. You can jump over the meteor, so it should be possible to jump over meteor and building. Thanks for playing the game anyhow!

ziamor 2020-10-06 13:30

As others have said, could be a fun mobile game! Fits the theme well.

tricky-fat-cat 2020-10-06 15:26

The concept is great. You can make this game a really good hypercasual game for mobile platforms.

fabula-rasa 2020-10-06 20:57

Nothing groundbreaking but a nice take on the theme. Neat idea! I liked how the rhythm of the music helped you to get into the rhythm of jumping :smile: Very well made.

Everything worked well on Android. And after the initial challenge of figuring out a good jumping timing, it played smooth and almost meditative.

thejohnyfeed 2020-10-07 20:39

It's very simple but still fun! Loved the artstyle.

brorenata 2020-10-07 20:46

Smooth gameplay, enjoyed the music. Would introduce the meteor sooner, and as someone else mentioned jumping with the arrow key doesn't go as high.

julienlussiez 2020-10-07 23:01

I like the mechanics, it's really well done. Perfect for a tiny game. I made 13 loops just before a meteor killed me.

tyrael 2020-10-08 09:09

@brorenata Yes its a bug with the arrow key. Glad you enjoyed it.

lllarso 2020-10-08 15:33

Nice approach on the loop theme. The minimalistic animation is very nice. I also think that the difficulty could increase earlier. Overall I had a nice time with the game.

mikoziq 2020-10-08 22:00

Great concept to the looping theme. The game is polished and kinda cute to be honest. The arrow key does not allow you to jump higher as others mentioned, but I have used space afterwards. Enjoyed it very much! Job well done!

harusame 2020-10-09 16:24

Very simple but really fun with strong polish. As previous comments, it could be a perfect mobile game like :) Start to be hard after 13-14 ^^

mar3k 2020-10-09 16:42

A nice game, which reminds me of the dinosaur game on google chrome (which I quite like tbh), the art is "cutesie" with nice depth and the graphics effect (like on the counter) are also cool. I just wish that there would be like more planets or some poweru ps or something like that. Well done.

flazone 2020-10-09 16:47

Didn't passed the first obstacle during several minutes until I figured that you jump higher with space key than with up arrow. Is it on purpose?

Great little polished game though, well done :)

tyrael 2020-10-09 17:13

@flazone It's a bug. Glad you liked it. :smiley:

jhax 2020-10-09 17:48

Found it pretty tricky until I read the other comments and realised W / Space jumped higher.

Great fun after that though, really well implemented. Graphics and sound are both really pleasant.

basileios 2020-10-09 19:54

Quite barebones but otherwise fun enough - graphically it looks good but a bit scruffy

duke 2020-10-11 11:36

Really well implemented game for a compo! Great job. The art direction is very polished and well thought out. For me, it's the star of this game :) Sound and music is rather basic, but still awesome that you have any! The controls work well and the game play loop itself is not super innovative (I've already played a couple of mechanically identical games this jam) but from a scope perspective, it was a good choice. What I didn't like was the RNG of the obstacles: In my first run, the comet and the ground stuff lined up perfectly so I couldn't pass. That's really a no-go for me. There should be a way to avoid such trappings (maybe a way to shot the obstacles every once in a while with recharging weapon). Or mabye I played it wrong... but there was just a jump button, right?

All in all, a very polished experience. Looks and feels very professional. Congrats!

sunti 2020-10-11 11:41

Cute little game, it's quite good and polished enough for a compo, the mechanics are well known but the loop connection is good! Goof job :)

tyrael 2020-10-11 12:08

@duke When the comet and the obstacle line up, you can jump over the comet, to avoid both. Glad you still enjoyed it!

duke 2020-10-11 12:15

@tyrael oh interesting... I had the feeling that the jump was not high enough! Gotta test it out again :)

michaelaranda 2020-10-11 14:11

I could definitely see this being a mobile game!

joedev 2020-10-11 18:46

Pretty chill game, reminded me a lot of the vibes of playing the Google Chrome 'no internet' dinosaur jumping game haha. The introduction of the asteroid absolutely demolished me and my meagre jumping skills, but in a fun way

lesinvisible 2020-10-19 11:26

Neat little endless runner, I also liked the reference to Globetrotter game series in the name.

tamail 2020-10-23 14:35

Nice little game but the colliders were sooo unforgiving. I nearly rage-quit not being able to clear even the first obstacle. Ugh! :laughing: Otherwise, great game!
