Found this game pretty fun although more mechanics to it would have been nice to add some variety. Felt like playing tony hawks grinding.

A great example of a simple concept polished to a shine with a lot of personality. I love all of the characters and the personalities you've given them (even though to my knowledge they have no gameplay relevance). I was honestly surprised at how many y'all managed to squeeze in here. :smile:

I also like the idea that the steeper your lean, the more points you earned. A nice incorporation of risk and reward. :thumbsup:

Great game! Very good base mechanic and the art is exceptional. Nice work!

This game is really cohesive. The music seemed to fit the environment and the characters so well.

I love that you gave the characters backstories, and even had character selection. That's not the sort of thing that I expect from jam games so I was pleasantly surprised.

Great game and bonus points for the Naruto running!

Really enjoyed playing the game and I love the character bios and the ability to choose characters for an overall simple but fun game. Had a lot of fun seeing how far I can go backwards. Overall great game! Hans best boy

Really enjoyed the game! A simple idea that fits the theme, a nice humor, sounds and especially graphics! Big yes from me :)

This is a really fun concept.

The 3d models and animation are incredible, and I like the intense gameplay trying to get a max highscore.

awesome game! I love how you added a bit of lore to the characters, and keeping balance at orange section is quite challenging alright. really well done

Really cool game again Erik! Slow and steady wins the race, but flailing forwards on the edge of falling nets you the high score :smile:

Funny game, I liked the unbalanced stance, good job.

I share my score with you, I had a lot of fun Sans titre 1.png

Keeping this one around on my pc :smile: Had a good laugh playing it, though I didn't get a world record score like you did with our game :sweat_smile:

The art, and animation, is gorgeous! It's just a shame that I can't really admire it. If I take my eyes off the slip meter for even a a millisecond, I slip and lose.

So cool that there are multiple characters. You didn't have to do it, but you did; I appreciate the commitment.

The music is great.

Overall a solid, cohesive, enjoyable game. Nice work!

Really great art, the quality and quantity of the models is seriously impressive! The core mechanic's fun, I like how you scaled the difficulty of balancing - it gets more erratic without feeling completely out of your control so I never felt cheated when I lost. Overall a great entry!

yarpoplar 2022-04-05 16:29

Fun little game, looks nice and also I like the music at the background.

2022-04-05 18:16

Great work!

thenerdster 2022-04-05 18:17

Great game. The amount of characters is impressive and fun! Game play is simple but challenging enough to keep you engaged.

nash 2022-04-05 18:31

This game is a prime example of how a simple idea can be made engaging with proper execution and polish. The leaning mechanic is also a highlight of this game - I really dig that!

leiv-erik 2022-04-05 18:37

Really nice game! Loved that staying on the edge gave you lots of point! Risk reward!

Really fit the theme nicely as well!

Good job!

drentsoft 2022-04-05 18:40

Very nice game! Love the graphics and the music fits well. Controls were easy to grasp.

c64gamer 2022-04-05 18:42

What a funny game. Had a score from around 42.000 :D Really nice job guys. Big thumbs up.

anchry 2022-04-05 18:58

This was quite fun, i really enjoyed the part where i fell

xparker 2022-04-05 19:43

Quite fun for a while I have to admit. Got some 20k and a few broken... BONES that is :sweat_smile:

kaljal 2022-04-05 19:52

It's very simple but really addictive. Very nice game

phillip-scott 2022-04-06 00:20

Hah that was fun! image_2022-04-06_012158.png

crishnate 2022-04-06 11:18

Cool idea, got to 80k, but on this level your balance just jumping from one side to another with a jentle touch, so I failed here :D This game reminds me of old flash games I loved to play as a child, really nostalgical, love it

Graphics is pretty, I see you are similar to me in graphis we are both don't have a clue how to make humans right, but your anyway seems better than mine ;)

Sounds/music is decent and I don't get borred listening to it

I firstly thought that I should be balancing in the place and keeping the bar in the green are. Second time I thought I need to move forward and don't understand why I was loosing if do soo. And only on fourth time I understand that you need to just get a high score and do not exit specific area

andyzyz 2022-04-06 11:36

I like that this game has so much characters to choose and all of them have unique blackgrounds. It will be even more interesting if they will have their own passive or active skills.

kylazaur 2022-04-06 11:51

This game was a lot of fun!

It did throw me off a little as in other games with this sort of mechanic, you're usually suppose to stay in the green to get more points? Regardless it was a great entry! (I got around 35k score)

rickylee 2022-04-06 12:08

The music is hilarious :') and the theme is spot on.

kazuren 2022-04-06 12:12

Simple but fun and addicting!

Sound effects, music and graphics were great!

Good job overall!

shmador 2022-04-06 12:24

The idea is good and executed very well! I really like the simplicity of the controls and gameplay. Graphics were nice as well, Had fun!

rhewid 2022-04-06 13:50

Humorous entry! Hits the theme just perfectly, really fun to play. Have no critcism for this entry! Good job.

tudydev 2022-04-06 14:21

Had a great time playing this, artwork fits it well!

pureimprov 2022-04-06 23:21

Good fun! I wonder how many people found the barn ;)

matt-rice 2022-04-06 23:45

Pretty fun and felt like I was constantly on the cusp of falling. Great art style and music too!

squimmy 2022-04-07 12:32

Very polished for just a few days work.

At one point it seems I died even when the arrow wasn't in the red zone. If this is a result of the difficulty scaling over time, perhaps it would be better if the effect was shown visually somehow? If it's just a bug, well, so be it, i guess.

arya-s 2022-04-07 15:52

The gameplay loop is very solid, I had a lot of fun playing it. Very solid entry with good art, music and humor!

tricky-fat-cat 2022-04-07 17:04

The idea of the game is smart. It works with the theme incredibly well. Controls are fine as well as visuals and sounds. However, the UI lacks good button feedback.

davide-rossetto 2022-04-07 21:47

Neat entry! Had some fun with it, the characters and the environment are great, the gameplay too. Try to work a little on the UI, but overall great job! :v:

lvl99chicken 2022-04-08 18:03

Really had fun with this game. I like how you got rewarded more for coming close to tripping. Reminds me of the grinding minigames in skating games. Had lots of fun with the character selector too, hilarious descriptions haha. Great submission!

potkirland 2022-04-08 23:59

omg im falling lol :smile: very well balanced controls wich is the most important partt of a balancing. well done thanks for sharing your game

quackbehavior 2022-04-13 09:45

Nice visual - here is a lot of work for jam game. Animations are good. Simple but well made and fun. Great work!
