Never before have I hoped to hit my head on solid objects this much! Really nice-looking game, takes some planning around jump reach and object positions, great fit for the theme. Well done! :)

I can only play for a couple of seconds before it locks up, so I could only rate the graphics really (which look great btw!). I'm running the Linux version.

Really solid and fun game! The artstyle is very nice and gameplay was hard but addicting. Love that you implemented a leaderboard aswell.

Made it to the top of the leaderboard! Btw, thanks for the leaderboard and linux version, I appreciate that!

Wonderful graphics and incredibly satisfactory controls, my favorite tactic was to bang my head against big blocks and drag them with me away from the black hole. Great game!

Crashes after a few seconds of gameplay on an Apple Silicon Mac, both under rosetta and native :cry: impressive to have an online scoreboard AND solid gameplay under the constraints! I like the idea of the gameplay, I wish I was able to play it :sweat_smile: My only complaint re the mechanics is that it wasn't obvious that you should escape downwards?

Simple but entertaining. Visuals and sounds are cool

Woaw it's haaaard..! Managed to get quite far, but the black hole still got me... haha xD

Fun gameplay! Cute frog! Good graphics! Nice sound design! Leaderboard is a great touch! Maybe too easy? I managed to get very far without even seeing the black hole and only died when I got bored. Idk maybe I'm just that good at vidya games B)

I love the concept, but it's sadly too hard for me ! The graphics and sounds are awesome though ! Nice work !

Graphically it looks great! The character's cute, the parallaxing background and the warping of the black hole all look super cool. That being said I found the gameplay a bit lacking. I didn't really feel like I had much agency or strategy beyond clicking in the direction away from the black hole but towards the nearest debris.

Wow, the presentation is super slick and it plays super smoothly! Very well done!

Thank you all for playing my game, I loved how it turned out.

As for the difficulty, some find it easy and others difficult, it was hard to balance, plus the leaderboard made it impossible to make adaptive difficulty.

I made objects spawns less frequently over time and the black hole speed increases as a way to put a cap to the run.

Now I have a lot of games to play.

got the highscore. It was a great game and I like the block pushing as a strategy. It adds a lot of depth to the game. The only criticism I have is that I would like to know how far away the black hole is.

It seemed quite crash-happy, so I didn't really get a chance to play enough to rate more than graphics, sorry about that. (^^

Here's a stacktrace if it's helpful: https://ttm.sh/eSi.txt

I use Arch Linux.

is https://csgo-bets.org/csgo-spray-patterns/ one of the most popular and original CSGO sportsbooks on the internet. In 2016, wherein it was also the same year that most CSGO betting sites opened, Gamdom betting sites made a bold move by being unique by offering cryptocurrency for gambling. And what makes them even more appealing for their users is their several unique games to play – which makes any player not get bored while on the platform.

I liked the art, and the little intro tutorial screen was simple and effective, a good piece of polish.

That being said it's waaaaaay too hard. If you miss once it seems like you're completely doomed. I couldn't manage to get very far even if I successfully hit objects. Compounding all this is how long it shows me the black hole every restart. I don't need to be shown the black hole every single time, I'm aware it's there. Let me get back to the game.

EDIT: Ok on a hunch I turned my 144Hz monitor down to refresh at 60Hz and the black hole was much slower this time! Somehow the speed of the black hole is framerate-dependant.

I still think you should make the restart animation shorter or nonexistent, and I'd echo the desire to know how far away the black hole is, but overall a pretty fun game once I worked out the technical issue 😅

Awesome job!!! The sound effects and the graphics were all so on point, this was pretty fun. The leaderboard was a really nice touch too - fantastic job :) Only one minor note: the buttons overlapped with the "would you like to post this on the leaderboard" if you are in full screenScreen Shot 2021-10-17 at 4.03.25 PM.png

Super small thing - the game as a whole was really well done :) Nice job!

messmerd 2021-10-18 02:01

Cool concept! The gameplay is pretty solid and I had a lot of fun with it.

crazyrems 2021-10-18 07:55

@spudboy well I guess I overlooked the delta time here 😅

There's many ways to improve the game but an indicator about how far the black hole is is a great idea, as many suggested.

heo 2021-10-18 20:29

Nice little game with a simple concept. It was not intuitive at first to hit big objects but it was fun. Good job !

solah 2021-10-19 06:27

Wow, that's a very original infinite runner! I guess just adding a cool music and some power ups and it would sell well on Android and iOS! The gameplay is great and the sound design is really good, well done!

rjmarzec 2021-10-21 09:21

A really interesting concept! I loved a lot of the small humor points in the game - a panicking player, the ending "oh no", and having to bonk into blocks all the time. A fresh twist on the old endless jumper concept. Great job!

It is not for nothing that esports is called that. This is a difficult job that requires a lot of training and striving for the top. I love to look at the guys who participate in the championships, but I understand that this will never be my level. But I can do exhibits and helps me with this https://wewatch.gg/blog/. It's very cool that you can win some decent money on esports.
