The idea is good and it is fun to play but it ended too soon. It needed more content.\n\nThe game idea has high potential. You already developed the main mechanics. You could easily add different types of collectibles and obstacles which could extend its playing time much more and make it more fun too. \n\nBut all in all nice game.

Nice gameplay, sounds, graphics and core mechanic.\nI loved the art style.\n\nI think it's a good casual game.\nYou can make it works well for mobile too, probably if you add more controls.\n\nA tip is try to introduce one game mechanic at time.\nYou could make a fast first level without the wheel and introduce it in the second level.\n","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"gassasin","author_uid":"1001812","time":"2017-12-27T20:35:55Z","epoch":1514406955,"modified":1514406955,"text":"I love the art style :) Great game !","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Tex Killer","author_uid":"1027674","time":"2017-12-28T00:42:29Z","epoch":1514421749,"modified":1514421749,"text":"Thanks, guys!\n\n@luvinicius, we didn't have enough time to create multiple levels, but if we did we would have done that.\n\nThank you all for playing!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"BryceLTaylor","author_uid":"1051370","time":"2017-12-28T16:00:57Z","epoch":1514476857,"modified":1514476857,"text":"Fun!  I love that it is secretly an object avoidance game, especially when you get that speed boost for eating a cheese ball, it makes you think you should get them at first.  Tricky.  I really like the art style, both in the 2d menu and in the actual game.  My only complaint is that the wheel is a trap and you can't get out of it.  The broom just will get you.  Also, I love that you're running from a broom.\nGreat job!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Tex Killer","author_uid":"1027674","time":"2017-12-28T16:09:01Z","epoch":1514477341,"modified":1514477341,"text":"@brycetaylor, thank you very much for playing and for the feedback! :D\n\nYeah, that was my goal when I programmed the cheese. :P\n\nThe wheel wasn't supposed to be a trap, you can use it to burn some fat and leave before the broom gets you, but we didn't have enough time for the level design, so the wheel ended up too hard to use and survive.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Remco","author_uid":"1000185","time":"2017-12-28T16:42:39Z","epoch":1514479359,"modified":1514479359,"text":"_(Hi @tex-killer, are you the same as the one I played with 'Rude Bear Rabble' with?
