Really nice art style, and the gameplay feels super smooth! Well-polished.Good job.

Really fun game, love the visuals and the music!

Very fun! Extremely well made. Addicting gameplay. I love the music and the visuals.

Very polished. The visuals and the audio is all great. I'm not sure why the core calls to me, nor why I must skate there, but I don't think I need to know.

Very unique game! Kinda gives me ps2 vibes somehow. Love the art direction and engaging gameplay well done :clap:

Good stuff! Very Sonic 2 special stages haha. Final high score I got was 104950, given more time I could maybe do better but for now that's where I'm leaving it haha.

I love it is a really fun game! would be great to have more than just 1 try! I like it a lot!

This game is great! Love the style and music. It got too hard for me for my old reflexes in the later stages.

istok 2025-04-12 20:33

So good! Great art style and gameplay

This is really addictive. It's like the bonus levels from Sonic the Hedgehog 2... except a bit more fun!

The visuals are very distinctive and work together well. The sound design is absolutely incredible from the sounds of the board to the swooshes of obstacles and the satisfying thwap when you hit an object. Love the arcade feel of the near misses. Levels seems to increase in difficulty as you progress and the ramp up feels nice.

I really don't have any notes on this one, I think you all did a fantastic job!

Amazing game! The only thing that bothered me was that after death the music volume is set to the default value.

wuppos 2025-04-12 21:01

I loved this! The gameplay is a lot of fun with this one :D It feels really satisfying to slowly get better, learn the levels and get further and further. The art, sounds and music also really fit the feel and gave some much needed gamefeel and juice :D

The one problem I have with this game is that the controls were very confusing when I was at the ceiling. Suddenly my left arrow key went to the right and vice versa. This was especially confusing when I flipped sides with spacebar, which meant I rarely used this cool mechanic. Unfortunately I also dont really know a solution to this, since swapping the controls halfway is probably also weird :/

That being said, I really did like the gameplay! I had a lot of fun :D

fun highscore game. what is the world record? really hard, i couldn't even get past level 3!

the graphics are wild, very cool effect

texugo 2025-04-12 21:54

Really great game! Fun, difficult and pretty.

oxnh 2025-04-13 08:32

Really difficult and fun game, I also like the way the music gets more intensive over time. This would be great with a high score leader board.

Idk don't really have any criticisms. Solid game

verbante 2025-04-13 10:06

Great visuals and gameplay. I like the use W because I can modify the speed and difficulty of some sections to my liking. Collect sound was too high pitched for me so I missed out on music, which seemed cool

jhax 2025-04-13 14:35

Art style's really unique! The music fits the vibe so perfectly as well. I found the left / right controls a bit confusing when I was upside down, but that feels like a slightly overly harsh criticism as I can't really think of any way to make it less confusing!

mod-wiz 2025-04-13 19:11

Ride down the pipe, collect white orbs, dodge pink arches, good times!

It's a really polished and fun arcade title, very well made! Graphics are unusual and stylish!

Congrats on a fun and polished tunnel racer! As with most such games, controls are reversed when you're upside down, which needs some getting used to. I would suggest using the cursor keys to indicate absolution position. The player will then take the shortest route towards the indicated position. For an example try this game: such as this one: https://c64online.com/c64-games/gyruss/#jumptothegame (C64 Gyruss)

I got 110997 after a couple attempts. Very polished and fun and good and great. Only thing I dislike is how the game is so punishing. I think I'd enjoy it more if there were checkpoints or separate shorter levels, because I'd really like to see all of the game but it's just too difficult. Great job anyways!

milq 2025-04-15 21:58

Wow! I just discovered an amazing game that truly has it all: great graphics, fitting music, and outstanding gameplay. In my opinion, every aspect exceeds expectations and nothing feels lacking. If I had to suggest something, maybe the player could progress through levels a bit faster, since I believe this kind of game is meant to be replayed many times. Honestly, it's incredibly addictive. A fantastic entry, my sincerest congratulations, great entry!

A really solid game, great job.

I like the little bonk effect when you smash into a wall. :P

virapyon 2025-04-22 10:38

The game runs so well that I got a tiny bit of motion sickness! Great job! Very nice in every aspect.

fakan 2025-04-23 14:47

Great game! Love the visuals, simple and efficient!

yellowkamel 2025-04-25 12:58

Stylish. Great visuals and sound design!
