The endless runner mechanics were solid, but I think a few design decisions could have been better. One example is the monsters which you have to be the same size to kill, it feels strange taking a hit from a tiny monster when you are so massive, and the icicles already give you an incentive to shrink. As well as that, there wasn't really an incentive to go fast, I think that perhaps slowing down enough should also lose you a life, as it could really help the pacing of the game. This could also show off the monster better, and make it feel like more of a persistent threat rather than a reminder of your health. Overall a great job though :)"},{"author_name":"yoanndeplo","author_uid":"20644","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 9:58am","epoch":1450432380,"text":"Very good sounds and graphisms !"},{"author_name":"RedBricksStudio","author_uid":"64601","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 7:18pm","epoch":1450465980,"text":"That cute dinosaur was fun to control!
