I think the core idea is good, but it could be improved with some more dynamic elements. For example, maybe add some red blocks that move around the loop as well, so you have to keep an eye on it as it runs up behind you. Maybe also some extra points for getting really close to the red blocks before dodging, like some racing games do when you tailgate or have a near-miss. It might also be fun to see more complicated levels besides just a squircle.\n\nThis was a solid entry though, nice job! I had some fun with it. Also, the bent rectangles are a nice effect :)","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"noahw","author_uid":"1140577","time":"2020-10-10T22:01:50Z","epoch":1602367310,"modified":1602367310,"text":"I like the layout, with the stats at the center- feels unique, and gives you a nice sense of progress.

Gostei bastante do formato e acredito que seja promissor enquanto projeto.\n\n4 - Monetiza\u00e7\u00e3o:\nPode ser interessante vender o projeto para minim\u00e1quinas como entretenimento espec\u00edfico (estilo as m\u00e1quinas que vinham com Tetris).\nO jogo, com algum polimento e novos elementos poderia vender com propagandas no smartphone.\n\n\n**[EN] Analysis...**\n\n1 - Mechanics, Learning and Flow:\nThe mechanics of switching lanes to a \"circular infinity runner\" were very interesting.\nIf the player's character (hereinafter PC) was smaller, I think there would be more replay.\nThe game was made in such a way that some energizers and some curses could work well.\nI imagined that at some point another window could appear with a parallel race on the same controls as a way to win more gold (it would be a bit of a tense challenge, hahahahah, I laughed thinking about it).\nThe game flow seems to increase a little from the beginning to the next laps, I think the difficulty is to keep it for a long time (I didn't play much to see if the speed increases and such).\n\n2 - Graphics, Audio and Narrative:\nThe graphics are simple and serve their purpose (I suppose that complicating these graphics can make you lose the \"arcade\" nostalgia that comes with the game, perhaps something not applied in the spaceship (instead of a car) sense.\nThe audio is also simple and also serves its purpose very well.\nThe narrative was not the focus of what I noticed.\n\n3 - Culture:\nThe game has strong references to the arcade style (I did not identify a win-win condition, maybe in a stage mode something like this could happen).\nThere are also references to runners, as I was able to think. I really liked the format and I believe it is promising as a project.\n\n4 - Monetization:\nIt may be interesting to sell the project to mini-machines as specific entertainment (like the machines that came with Tetris).\nThe game, with some polish and new elements could sell with advertisements on the smartphone.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Gossian","author_uid":"1145873","time":"2020-10-25T10:44:23Z","epoch":1603622663,"modified":1603622663,"text":"Once I figured out the controls, it was pretty fun to play!
