This game is all about surviving for as long as you can. Dodge all the growing spikes to survive!

Cool take on the runner genre. There isn't enough contrast between the player, the spikes, and the background though. Everything blends in with the background which makes it tough to see the spikes sometimes. Good job though, would like to see this expanded upon!

Simple gameplay, but cool! The only thing that is a little bit annoying, is the colors, everything is too dark and makes the spikes hard to see.

I agree that the contrast between screen elements could be better. It also seems like you should always be spamming slide, so maybe there should be a down side to sliding?

I can't rate Windows games, sorry!

Quite simple but cool take on the runner genre.

Only two nitpicks:
1. transitioning from a side to the other can be used to avoid things that one should not be avoid.
2. Sliding seems to last a bit too long to be intuitive and, at least I, couldn't really ever get the hang of it.

the "growing" spikes seems like a bit of a cop-out. tied themes SUCK dude I hope this never happens again. There should be an animation for the duck so you can tell when you're about to get back up again but otherwise this is a cool game

I like infinite runners and I like what you did with it. My problems with it is your color choices. Without brightness up it's hard to distinguish between some objects.

The game ran pretty buggy on my end, the graphics are pretty terrible IMO, as well as not contrasting enough, as it was hard to tell where the player character was at times. However, I did really like the music, so I think you did well on that front.

Addictive but hard. I almost cried raging at this game. Best score 20.

This game is definitely one of the harder ones, but I like challenges. Quite the simple concept though. I guess you could have expanded that a little :-)

Simple little game, I did find the colour scheme a bit dark though.

Music makes it feel it's slow but it's not, it's quite disturbing.

It's a pity that it is only for Windows...

The graphics made me cringe a bit :D. I guess a programmer is just not built to make graphics :D... The idea is okay-ish but there's really not much to this game. Also the music hurts my ears D: . Still, good job on sticking with both of the themes and still making a game that is relatively fun to play! Good job and keep on jamming!
