The cut scenes were SO great. I also loved the design of the playable character. Sometimes it was hard to see the ground when I was jumping and I would have liked to have the camera a little further back so I could see the terrain.

This was very cool! I liked the cutscenes a lot! Your team should be proud.

Interesting concept. Fun to play but I do have some feedback I would like to give. - The last cutscene is not skippable, makes it hard to quickly reset the game. - My meters run score stays at 0 at the end of the game. - The collider of the player sometimes gets stuck with walls or relics.

Other than that, great submission!

You've done a really good job with the polish of this game, it doesn't feel like it's missing anything. I liked your graphics and the cut scenes were awesome. As @hiddentavern said, the camera was a bit too zoomed in, and for me the size of the window was larger than my macbook screen, but it was still playable. Good job!

This game feels very polished! Great job on this

The idea of storyboard cut-scenes is fun, and the gameplay works quite well. I think some traps are "too deadly", and that there should be some kind of HP bar or lives. Other than that, I had the same issue than @goudcode : all meters at the end stays at 0.

These intro and death scenes are really adding flavors to the game Just wished I could skip them after a few deaths, since they are quite long

Having to toss resources over the immediate danger is interesting and force the player to take risks I love that

Skippable cutscenes would have been great too

:eye: :lips: :eye: what have I just witnessed -- Love your cutscenes (didn't realize I could skip them until it was too late)

Theme is quite present, but the gameplay was a bit too hard for me -- I personally thinks it lacks some room for error or forgiveness but that's up to your design intention (:

That boulder comes way too fast for my liking. I ended up just running as fast as I can, no time to pick up relics and throwing them. Enjoyable game. Good graphics and music. Good overall attempt.

Cool idea about throwing relics over, adds a nice twist to the infinite runner. My only suggestion would be to make map a bit different, now it's pressing forward 90% percent of the time

The throw over is a great idea. Picking up objects was pretty difficult and also tripped me. But I liked the idea!

Wasn't sure what I was supposed to be doing with the relics. I could only carry one and when I got to the pit of spikes I had to drop it to whip the switch.

Graphics were really well done, as was the menu and death scene.

Music was fun.

First, I want to compliment the layout of your game page. You genuinely don't see a lot of that.

The game itself, I suck at it.

The play is tight and everything looks and sounds good. I just couldn't get very far. Still, great game and well executed.

Really good game, well done you guys! Art was brilliant and the cut scenes added a lot of humour!

damakuno 2022-04-17 07:21

Pretty good endless running game! I really liked the cutscene and the ending graphic!

lereveur 2022-04-17 20:15

Very good game! That's a shame I'm very bad at runners, otherwise I would have played it a little more :sweat_smile:
