That game is really challenging, I feel like it gets so fast this have barely enough time to load before you see them XD

I managed to get around -5000. It's pretty hard but fun! The graphics are really nice too

dadidou 2025-04-08 07:46

It feels really nice when you got faster and faster while avoiding obstacles !

ngryyyyy 2025-04-08 14:49

Loved it ! Pretty hard to control at fast speed but so satisfying :D Great job

izzqz 2025-04-08 14:49

Very neon and fast! FIVE STARS!

justuspan 2025-04-08 15:07

The intense and exciting gameplay rhythm is impressive. A very good arcade game! Well done.

andreadbx 2025-04-08 15:47

I see neon, i like it, PERIOD! The gameplay is very nice, 112.png altough i managed to break the bounds smashing into the walls :D congrats!

Pretty cool game! Reminds me of old Minecraft dropper maps, but with a really great aesthetic! :D Usually I'm not that great at games like these, but I guess you didn't make it too hard - I managed to get to the end in my second attempt. I've tried it a few more times to see if I might have missed anything, and still managed to complete it, so I don't think I was just lucky the first time. :D Level design is pretty good. Usually games like these like to surprise me with an unexpected combo of obstacles, as if to force me to memorise the entire track to complete it. Here everything felt just right, like it was flowing pretty smoothly. There's plenty obstacle types (I think I liked the beam spiral the most - so satisfying to get through it perfectly at high speeds!), so the track doesn't get boring. One thing I might like to see added is a max speed stat after a run - I think I've reached around 500kph before hitting a wall to avoid the solid circle in the centre and slowing down again. I've done a few runs to see how fast I can get, but tracking the speed yourself is difficult while trying to concentrate on not hitting anything. But I gotta say I did enjoy listening to that music each run. :D Overall, really nice jam entry, well done!

literally minecraft dropper

nordus 2025-04-08 20:35

Nice game, I think you can improve the camera angle to see obstacles better! Still I had a nice fall :D

p1x3lc0w 2025-04-08 20:50

Very stylish and good use of the theme! Its simple and works really well because of that so its hard to think of anything that could be improved without just expanding the scope of the game. Really great work and thanks for the game!

jona-scheidig 2025-04-08 23:28

Gotta say, I like that your game is straight to the point action. Its fast, faster, and neon, all good conditions for a banger. I had a little trouble though reading the obstacles, since there wasn't much time to act. Also the player could have been a little more faster in terms of navigation.

Other than that, pretty slick

teist 2025-04-09 00:48

@andreadbx but you still can win the game! (I think?) :)

teist 2025-04-09 00:51

@lcstark I have bad news for you: the maximum speed is limited, otherwise the game and the physics engine would have been completely outdated, especially for webGL lol

but thanks for the feedback, I'm really thankkfull for all the notes!

teist 2025-04-09 00:58

@castitatis yeah we've discovered a bug that set the end around 6000 instead of 10000, so you really was not far from the end

apt-prose7 2025-04-09 03:04

Funny time killer

noodlehoof 2025-04-09 03:08

super fun! the music felt like it increased with the difficulty, which may have been my anxiety kicking into gear, but if not it was an excellent touch lol. i also like how it's not too punishing if you hit things. great game!

batthecat 2025-04-09 03:16

very fun... the neon fx increase the sense of speed... the music its pretty nice too... its very fun when you increase the speed... this is my best time Capturar.PNG

takhomasac 2025-04-09 04:42

fun game! i like the idea and enjoyed the art and graphics. and it was challenging! nicely done

cammyrnn 2025-04-09 05:23

Reminds me of a game I'd play in class instead of paying attention.

nazgulx 2025-04-09 07:09

This game has a very nice feel to it. Feels polished, clean but above all it is fun to play! Congratulations!

trevor-lentz 2025-04-09 07:11

Very cool concept and execution. The obstacles seem placed for perfect challenging gameplay. I really enjoyed the music and sound effects too. Well done. :)

neowhoru 2025-04-09 07:13

very nice look and feel for the game and i managed it in the second try to finish the goal :).

virtual-turtle-studio 2025-04-09 07:20

Cool concept! Kind of reminds me of super hexagon, but then very different. It was pretty difficult, especially on my old laptop that couldn't render everything in perfect 60FPS haha, but I managed to get pretty far! I like that you dont instantly die when you hit a metal beam. It definitely goes very fast at some point, but maybe my reflexes aren't the best haha. Cool graphics and sounds! Well done!

kahztein 2025-04-09 07:20

Very fun! Loved the visuals and vibe of it all, and the music is great! A speedrun of this game would be awesome to see.

teist 2025-04-09 08:24

@virtual-turtle-studio honestly, personnally, a reference to the goatest super hexagon couldnt have been made me more proud lmao thanks for that in my mind I've now wonned my gameJam

follusior 2025-04-09 12:52

It definitely evokes emotions. Thank you. it was very nice to download the exe file, it's so unobtrusively written about it. It seems that sometimes there are microfreezes in the game:0/ Well, overall, nice graphics, sound and idea

ronalchue 2025-04-09 12:57

A new look at runners - fallers. A port of such a game to mobile devices could be a hit! A little more levels and it would be cool

eloraju 2025-04-09 13:04

Very nice entry altogether! The music and visuals played very well together enhancing the feeling of speed as you played :smile: I would have maybe tweaked the controls to be ever so slightly tigther, but that's just my personal preference. Despite that I did enjoy the game :smile:

monogatari 2025-04-09 13:07

The gamefeel is nice, i love when you pass 200 km/h it gets really fun to avoid everything, some pattern are really cool ! Thanks for the game !

ln404 2025-04-09 16:40

fast and fun gameplay! Also visuals really great! good job!

sarellano 2025-04-09 16:46

It gets really hard really fast, and I loved it :). The aesthetics reminded me of blade runner or some cyberpunk, as well as the music.

kseon 2025-04-09 19:25

felt like in those Minecraft videos where you fall into a hole Good game

lukasplop 2025-04-09 21:14

Loved the vibe, character control is a bit chunky but still good !

cure 2025-04-09 22:06

This was great, my only gripe is the game looks so cool, the goofy falling animation is kinda jarring.

johncoffee 2025-04-10 16:13

Great game, way to expierience a fear of falling :D Is the congratulations screen the end? Really good entry. very well done.

karamelika22 2025-04-10 16:24

Сool game, perfectly suits the theme, only I went a little beyond the map but it was cool)Great job)!

fikusm9 2025-04-11 21:21

The art is awesome! Looks sick. I did unintentionally fall out from the tube somehow...

patatje 2025-04-11 21:22

Cool game! lots of polish. it was really satisfying to fall at mega high speeds. also great looking itch page. Well done!

anekich 2025-04-12 11:52

Nice work! It reminds me of mobile games from my childhood (˶◜ᵕ◝˶)

r8teful 2025-04-12 14:29

I really like the concept and it was fun to play :) I won by accidentally leaving the map which I wouldn't say is necessarily a bad thing lol it ended up being really fun! The graphics looked really good too. If you continued working on this outside of the jam it would be nice to have leaderboards, either for single player farthest falls or fastest wins or a multiplayer leaderboard :)

noagard 2025-04-12 20:59

Really slick and satisfying! Loved the neon style and the feeling of gaining speed it’s chaotic in the best way. Would be awesome to see a leaderboard or time trial mode in a post-jam version. Great work !

resty 2025-04-14 15:55

Cool game. Really love the fast pace in the run. Great job!

jhax 2025-04-14 16:45

The music really fits this well. The graphics are cool too, I like the focus on the sort of pink and grey aesthetic, keeps things nice and clean and gives you clear visual cues for where to avoid / where to aim for.

mamboman 2025-04-14 19:14

Well done! The aesthetic is really cool.

torte478 2025-04-15 13:15

Simple, clear idea and excellent execution. I loved the graphics, music, and overall atmosphere. Plus, the way obstacles shatter on impact with that physics system!

tetrergeru 2025-04-15 13:42

Wow, music goes really hard in this game! I loved the neon vibe from the obstacles, but glowing part on the guy's suit made it a little hard to distinguish objects a couple of times

Great entry!

atsh 2025-04-15 14:59

Loved the music and the graphics! The gameplay was familiar but solid, and fit the theme well

I encountered weird differences between web and windows version - in web I couldn't move on full screen and had no sound effect, on windows I had no music. I'm not sure, but the game also felt more difficult on windows

Very nice game

thegrottman 2025-04-16 19:27

Really cool game! I especially liked the neons and the music. It reminded me of some tracks from the first Mass Effect (especially the beginning of the track in The Fall). Overall, really solid game that was incredibly enjoyable.

empyreans 2025-04-16 22:57

Found a chill zone on my first attempt. Just taking a nap on the warm metal bed.

brave_9SiWUXkLgD.png

Pretty easy game, mostly on memorization rather than skill I'd say as controls are responsive and there aren't that many obstacles that can end the run, but plenty of those that slow you down (and I broke each one at first just for lulz)

Well done!

Interesting game! ^_^

ammonit 2025-04-22 05:36

Arghhh! The toughest part for me was the spiral-twisted pile of obstacles — but now it’s my absolute favorite!))))

angry-fridge 2025-04-22 19:40

I liked it! Loved the neon and the vibe! I found a very interesting bug while playing - so moving left or right with the keys is fine and I cannot exit the bounds but if I do that while passing through one of the pink rings, I can leave the bounds of the game. Also, volume up and volume down keys on my eyboard move the character to the right, just thought I'd let you know :)
