There are a few things that could be improved:
- The camera feels weird, but I'm not sure why. Maybe it should be a bit higher up.
- It's sometime hard to see, where you're going because of the camera. If the robot is so close to the camera you can't really align stuff.
- You start out really slow. It's an endless *runner*, not endless *walker* :wink:
- The left/right movement is really slow and feels kinda weird.
But otherwise well implemented.
Audio is very nice addition.
I think giving player control (left/right) during jump could feel better - did you test that?
I think my only feedback would be the camera angle could be a bit higher on the screen, or maybe an option to move it around with the mouse. I found it hard to gauge some distances when jumping or moving to line up with a battery. It would also give you a chance to glance ahead at upcoming obstacles and plan out how you want to avoid them, or maybe not bother trying to get some battery because it's too close to a barrier.
Otherwise I thought this was solid. It feels like an endless runner I could easily see getting popular on the mobile platforms. The graphics are simple and probably wouldn't lag out a phones graphics. I'd say you should refine this and release it as a full finished product. You could add some skins you can unlock, touch up the graphics and add some more backgrounds, and then toss in a little cute story and you'd be golden.

@pilly @pcmaster Thanks!
@yirggzmb Yes! that problem came with a last minute change in the initial speed! we need to solve that!
@larrychupacabra Thanks for the showcase! We are glad you like our game! I hope we can polish and deliver a great post game jam version!, We will tweak the camera position for a better experience! :smile:
