I like this game but it's a bit too easy imo and space it a little bit of an awkward button for jumping for me (my wrist started to hurt after playing for a while). Graphics are great, gameplay is fun (if only it was a little harder) and theme was incorporated really well into the game :)
This is a suprisingly fun game :) Simple but fun. My suggestions for future updates would be: -WAY LESS LAPS than 200 ;) -a few different maps -some more or less unusual powerups -a lot of cars just like in this version -maybe a split screen multiplayer (it's not hard to do in Unity) (also with a lot of AI cars) (it would be quite fun imo, especially with those powerups I mentioned before)
If you are stuck on that moving red bar in level 4 then get 4 rockets before you jump on that big box where you can see that moving bar thing. Use 2 rockets to get up on that box and then rocket jump above that bar and this should leave you with at least one rocket left to get to that big red field and a few translucent platforms :)
@pkenney I know about that bug but I'm pretty new to Unity and I didn't know how to keep a variable value throughout the whole game :( @captaindreamcast sorry about that transparent platform ;) I wanted to add a tutorial text next to it but I totally forgot about that :)
You might want to mention that you relied heavily on this tutorial series and resources which Brackeys used in it

@tigerj Thank you so much for your input and for playing our game on your stream :) I'm glad I could help :)
The game is really fun to play, I love the pixelated graphics. If I could change something, I would make it into an endless game, so players could beat their best time and I would make the game super slow when player is not moving (sort of like in Superhot) so I could plan in which direction I want to head next.
@aphid98 We didn't have enough time to balance the game properly :( But I'm glad you think it has potential :)
Surprisingly fun for such a simple idea :)
It's ok, but level design was meh. You can't have jumps where the player can't see where he's jumping and whether where he's jumping is safe or not.
I've had the same idea when brainstorming lol.
I'm sorry the feedback isn't super positive, but it's an infinite runner. There's nothing super special about it. Maybe I'm not the target demographic? Idk.
@aryanjumani I didn't mean to sound rude or anything. If this made you feel bad or something like that, I'm sorry. I know it ends, I finished it and saved 200 people :) I just wanted to say that it plays like an infinite runner (you're trying to survive as long as possible and avoiding obstacles in the process). The game is ok for what it is, but it's nothing spectacular.
@aryanjumani if I were you, I would focus on game feel (for example adding a screenshake when player hits an asteroid, maybe some ship parts could fly at the screen, or maybe add a near miss system (when player flies close to an asteroid you give him extra points) and show the player in some way (gentle screenshake or maybe have the screen flash a little bit), so that the player knows that he did something good. The near miss system should encourage risk in players, which is more fun than just avoiding asteroids. I was about to write that you should show the player some kind of score but it's already in the game, I just didn't notice it. That means you didn't show it well enough. Maybe change the color of the numbers (for example: keep the "distance travelled" white and make the score light blue if it's not a new best and make it yellow if it's a new best score). Also smaller numbers tend to work better because you can easily tell that 10 > 100 but it's not that easy to tell that 10000000 > 100000000. My last peace of feedback is: play other infinite runners and think why they're doing this and what purpose does that mechanic serve. Analyze why you're having fun with one game but not with the other. Good luck :)
