Lol funny game! Think the movement should be stronger though, I felt like the bunny moves too slow to actually dodge something

@bewelge I learned the route in my testing and forgot to make the movement more responsive. He he

Easy to abuse by spamming / memorising the space bar pattern ! But really nice game anyway !

Nice little game. Love the art! I felt that the bunny moved to slow so that cost me a lot of deaths in the beginning but once I got a hold of that it was a lot of fun to play! My high score was an astonishing 50m!

Really cool art. One small bug the max power sound is cut off by other sounds and you don't know if you got the power. Also the difficulty spikes very fast.

Hi there, fellow bunny charger! I love the graphics, BFXR (?) sounds are adequate and the game was a bit tricky until I got a grasp of it :) Then I made it to astonishing 30m!

A keyboard button for reset after you run dry would be nicer than the mouse control.

Very good job :)

Cool casual game, a little bit hard when starting, but once the pattern memorized, it becomes easier :)

The bunny is indeed difficult to move around, I just could not get very far at first :P. The hardest part for me was just remembering to stay charged haha!

@sarah Keeping charged is like tapping your head while rubbing your tummy :p

Nice game to be played on the phone! I'll recomend you to put the tutorial message in a previous menu or an static screen. It's hard to read the instructions when your are avoiding obstacles.

Nice entry! Congrats!

Speed runner with a nice multi-tasking twist. :thumbsup: I kept on forgetting to press spacebar.

I agree with @aleal-dev, but a simple fix would be to put the tutorial messages earlier in the level or just remove the obstacles that are close to the tutorial text.

Keep up the good work. I love the Bunny. I looks a litte bit like retro 3D Art.
The input is a little bit weird. I keep hitting space all the time.

Nice one! It is a bit tricky at first to focus on both the recharging stuff and the movement, but it's really well done. It is a bit hard to correctly see if you're about to crash those small yellow battery or not though ^^

Overall, really nice, and really fun. I just wished there'd be a highscore table at the end of the run :( Congrats on the great work ;)

Really nice game, i especially like your graphics and the sounds you made they go really well together :)

In terms of gameplay i really like the idea, it fits the theme pretty well but isn't a generic approach :)
One thing tho, that wasn't optimal was that i had to look at the bunny but also at the energy bar at the same time, which wasn't really optimal^^

Overall really great entry, i enjoyed it :) you can be proud of yourself :)

What I liked:

- the mood is perfect. feels nightmarish, but in a not-too-serious way

- lovely low-poly graphics

- spacebar power mechanic is executed very well

- main conceit both is very creative and takes the theme literally

What doesn't work:

- IMO the battery area is too far away visually from the running area. I found the constant back and forth glances stressful and distracting. Should be a simple fix, however, to move the battery from the corner to offset from the center, or to the top, or something like that.

- would have loved some music

- getting caught on the batteries in the running part

Funny little game I played on my phone, cool and cute 3D visuals, a bit hard to master :) collisons were often deadly and strafe is a bit slow. I wish there was bigger buttons on android as I sometimes felt as if i wass missing them. Life system is a bit unfair I think, and I could not reach the end :( that's a cool theme, simple sfx gives some feedback on what's happening. Good job !

I reached 57m ! Is that good ? However, this game is really good ! I can't stop trying to beat my own score XD : It's cute, ingenious, it respects the theme, mechanics are well thought out... And I love it :) !
Nice work !

The bunny tripped, not my fault! :-) Nice idea, very good graphics, well implemented. Could use a bit more gameplay, otherwise good entry.
