To me it seems like there's a max distance you can go, unless the enemy spawning is random in which case it's just chance whether you get a good run or not.\ni really like the graphics and idea! good job","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Kubenexion","author_uid":"1035010","time":"2017-08-03T11:24:40Z","epoch":1501759480,"modified":1501759480,"text":"It's a nice game, I like your graphics.\n\nMore animations (enemy death, scrolling background) would be great, but it still a good jam entry.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Local Minimum","author_uid":"1000655","time":"2017-08-04T18:38:59Z","epoch":1501871939,"modified":1501871939,"text":"I would have liked to try the game, but running the game required making changes to my system according to windows, which is a no-go for me (Windows 10).","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"omriysh","author_uid":"1009471","time":"2017-08-05T15:59:54Z","epoch":1501948794,"modified":1501948794,"text":"Nice take on the runner genre.
