The gameplay is solid and simple to understand which is hard to get with 2 days, the music, sound and overall amount of polish really shines and makes your game look cool, very nice game!

This is such a polished game, its hard to believe it was made on such short notice. The graphics look like a modern reimagination of the ps2 graphics. And the really snappy and expressive controls crown this masterpiece. The eulogies are pretty cool too.

The sounds were amazing. My only gripe was that the splotches had such a large collider, and sometimes I collided with them while not being in their lane.

Great feedback, and awesome juice. I also really liked the sounds!

Some critique:

The hitboxes could be frustrating, especially the puddle(?)
While I enjoyed the 3d graphics, I was initially disappointed as the opening sequence was amazing
Not too innovative, as it's an endless runner.

Overall, nice polish, and especially good for a combo game!

Level 6 with 6 nuggets! This is great. Great intro. Great game play. And rock did something. Good interpretation of the theme :)

@skovtrolden @lyghtningwither Now the puddle collider is shrinked in a new version of the game, thanks for the feedback! :)

Nice game! I actually liked the intro, however the change between 2d pixel and 3d was a little shocking. The pace of the game and the gameplay are pretty good. It may be a little hard but that just makes it better. I felt the background scene of the running part was kind of empty, maybe some background elements would add more depth to it. Nice work!

I like it, the story was pretty funny. It reminded me of the run sections from Sonic Unleashed/Generations. Just a bid sad that it was so short, the different obstacles could have had different "kill animations" to contribute to the game's variety & humor.

I wouldn't have guessed it from just looking at the thumbnail, but this game is actually super polished. The intro cutscene is hilarious and the dialogue is charming. The actual gameplay itself is really fun and addicting, and all of the special effects - the zoom, the music, the camera shake - they all really add into the thrill. Amazing job!

Pretty fun. I really like the artstyle, but there could be some more obstacles and the music looping was noticeable and annoying. Good stuff

Wow, such juicy effects, really like it
Strangely the menu and the game have strangely different artstyle

I really like the cutscene at the start! The audio and special effects of the game is done really well to give that feeling of rush and it adds to the experience!

Solid gameplay. Just really liked the responsiveness of the controls and cohesion of the art and music. The music was especially great, made me feel a sense of urgency and kept the adrenaline rushing even when there were moments of safety.
