Pretty silly entry :) Now I know of all the cool new things I need to buy so I can be this awesome! *dabs*

The dark purple bar on the far right was really hard to see, maybe move it to the left and label both bars?

Love the aesthetics on this one! One of the prettier games in on LD39.
But I couldn't play it for long, because I would die randomly, after around 5 or 10 seconds, without apperant reason.

I like the graphical style that's on display here, same with the music some good stuff that!
that said once I started spamming C the game quickly turned a tad to easy, i doesn't seem to really ramp up as you're playing which is a shame.

I even read the instructions, but still played several times before realizing why I was randomly dying The graphics and mood are hilarious. It was easy to play if you played it right :P Great job!

Very fun setting and mood, really great graphics, and cool audio. The gameplay was quite redundant though, it took quite some time to see the two gauges and to realize i needed to keep them up, and mashing Z and C was not very satisfying. Maybe an increase in difficulty over time and a score would have helped ? Anyway impressive result, well done !

Oh i didn't know there was a gauge for the fidget spinner too.

Were the memes really worth it? Constantly pressing two buttons just to keep being alive isn't a very fun thing to do.
Avoiding obstacles works rather well, there is no real setback if you trip over those wooden fences though. Sure you'll slow down but it doesn't matter in any way.

The art is pretty sweet in this game, also nice animations.

The music track can get a little obnoxious and overloaded.

The few sound effects in the game are cool.

Please consider other keyboard layouts when mapping the controls, Qwertz person here.

Overall pretty solid entry, everything seems to work as expected. Although the concept of the game isn't much fun.

Cool runner game! The music and that "WOOO HOOOOOOOOO" really let me feel the Vitality! Also the art style is really nice! I love it! However, the gameplay may be a little bit too easy, I can keep pressing Z and C without any left/right movement and don't die! I think if there is an interval between every Z/C, the gameplay will be more challenging! Anyway, it's still a great entry!

Great graphics and music, but the gameplay could use some polishing. As long as I kept mashing Z and C and kept my eyes open, it never got challenging. It feels like the game never gets harder. If the difficulty ramped (faster?) and there was a score/highscore system in place, this would have been very fun to play. The graphics and music make up for the gameplay though.

The bottleflip loading spinner was a nice touch.
I noticed some buildings also disappeared before leaving the screen entirely.

Overall well done!

Well, we get a lot of spinners in this LD). Graphics looked nice, gameplay were a littlebit to simple, but that's ok for a jam. Also, i think music should be dumber - it's to good to fit the mood).

What - is - this - fuck ? xD The jauges need to be bigger x) I did not saw it the first time x). Nice graphics, nice sounds, but the game is a way too simple :/ That's pitty. There is also no points counter. Overall good entry :)

I had a really good laught while playing this! The music is really cool and I feel like it kept me playing to be true, so kuddos, the gameplay is fun but maybe not challenging enough, but I liked how easy it was too so i'm a bit mixed. This feels like it really needs a score system though! And the graphics are really cute as well! A superb entry overall.
