Notes: -This is my first upload of a game to Ludum Dare -Still learning to work with Löve2D(no animations) -Little to no art skill -This was a good exercise in a time based programming project that helped me to realize some things I need to learn

I had to skip the tutorial because I don't like reading tutorials, so an interactive one would have been nice. The game should have been easier but my high score was 345.

Gunna' be honest, very meh, I can get over the programmer art as I to suffer from that same problem. But if the game could've been a bit larger, possibly 16:9 or even 1000x500 it would've been a lot more fun. Also sometimes the, what appears to be, random level generator makes the levels impossible.

I couldn't seem to get the guy to actually jump over anything. he only went up like two pixels. and it went so fast it didn't seem possible to actually continue.

I'm really terrible at endless runner games, but the game communicated what it wanted quickly. Some of the text was a bit small on the screen. Congrats on your first Ludum Dare! Take what you learned from this and maybe we'll see you in December :)

The game mechanics are actually pretty good. Though The jump distance is damn long I can press "down" if I need to quickly go back to the ground. So its challenging but manageable. Also I like the brief explanation at the start: simple and clear.
Of course your game could need a lot more polishing ;) I think you know that. But anyway: a good solid game!
