Fun to move around, but the web version of the game lags a ton. Other than that, had fun playing it! Good job!

boboch-d-brew 2023-05-02 02:08

Thanks you @kristian-kurktchiev ! unfortunately didn't had time to change the quality settings and had to export with all the enabled effects will update it when I can !

Awesome game :) love the boost and ramps

Honestly i would have liked a little bit more feedback in the actions, throwing the newspaper and moving around with the skateboard feels really unsatisfying, and in general it's really boring to be honest, though i understand that making a 3D game for a 72 hour game jam is always really REALLY complicated, so i give you credit for even managing to have something that is actually playable, and at least entertaining, it sure as hell must have been really difficult!

The map is huge! Great work in such a short amount of time.

boboch-d-brew 2023-05-02 02:28

Thanks @richard08 & @dongle ! the map is randomly generated btw, would have really liked to have more time to make a better shooting system and improve the movements but it's life 🤷‍♂️

the left and right turning with keyboard keys was pretty sensitive, dunno if it's a bug

moving with the mouse worked fine though, i really liked the zoom / bullet time effect when i held LMB

The graphics are amazing! The movement feels awkward because when you move your mouse you move along with it. The zooming in and slowing down while throwing newspapers is cool but I think if you didn't actually change directions while zooming in, it'd feel cooler.

I like the mood, jumping off the roof tops was dope! Same with the ramps! I don't know anything about skating games. Coming from a layman that doesn't game, maybe having some direction mobility while in the air would be nice. That way I can avoid hitting the walls easier. -acceleration from stationary should be faster -red indicator is hard to see

Can't wait to see what you make next.

Please upload a web build!

boboch-d-brew 2023-05-02 23:52

@cheesepencil you should be able to play it here, the first thing of the page

cheesepencil 2023-05-03 00:12

You're right, I'm silly. Forgot about that cool new feature! (I thought it was a promo video lol)

cheesepencil 2023-05-03 00:30

infinite boost??? i love it!! GG

if the web player doesn't load on the LD page opening the iframe in its own tab got it working for me <3 (firefox)

boboch-d-brew 2023-05-03 01:24

Haha thanks @cheesepencil I'm happy you loved it !

I love the mood! Music, lighting and level design (is it generated procedurally?) make the enviroment so nice to travel. Most of the time I spent on sightseeing different buildings and jumping on ramps

boboch-d-brew 2023-05-03 12:24

Thanks you @kosmik123 yep the map is random but not infinite

Î really like the character Movement. It feels so smooth.

mrsilfverhelmet 2023-05-06 20:27

Good job! Nice feeling to skate around.

blotosaur 2023-05-10 02:19

Nice mechanics, altough I found the controls a little weird. Animations and the slow down are great!

tony hawk is 0/10 this masterpiece is 2500000000/10

Didn't care about the newspapers, just boosted and boardflipped endlessly into the sunrise...
