Didn't really know why it was a loop until playing a couple of times. The hands looked pretty funny!

@jvdwijk, thanks for your feedback, i'll try to fix that bug.

Love the sound! Albeit, not super sure how well it follows the theme. Anyway, still a really nice game!

Nice game, I don't get the loop part but I loved the music and the quirky animation style, I wish hit-boxes on saw-blades were a bit more forgiving, I died more time that I'd like to admit by starting the double jump a frame too late.

Really liked the graphics! I spent too long trying to single jump over things before realizing I could double jump

Looks and sounds very fun and happy, only thing I can suggest is making it a little clearer to the player that they can double jump, took a few deaths before I realised I could

@darcytimms i will add information that player can doublejump. Thanks for your feedback

Cool runner!

Music and character animation fit together so nicely, well done :)

Colliders could be a bit smaller. A few times I thought I had time to jump, but died.

Love parallax background and artstyle overall.

Nice game! It really hits you with challenge right off that bat, I love it haha. I love the little somersault the guy does on the second jump.

Good game, the use of the theme is pretty basic and maybe could be more interesting if there was a context describing the game's loop. No striking innovation except the double jump. Great mood with good graphics and a well fitting music.

Graphics are fine. The theme is perfect. I've been playing for longer than I dare to admit. I would play it on my mobile every day.
Great job!

Neat art style, nice choice of music, I wish the player would travel a little bit faster, which would make timing the jumps a bite easier. Beyond that its a fairly straight forward infinite scroller, nice submission!

Nice entry, really like the graphics. The player is a bit slow and the gravity could be increased, but otherwise a solid entry. Great work :)
Blue Pin Studio
06. Oct 2020 · 20:26 UTC
Good submission but i think the game starts way too slow. It takes a solid 5 seconds before you even need to jump. Also the hit detection was not generous enough, i swear i didnt touch some of those obstacles but it counted it anyway.

This was a cute game, I loved the animation and pixel art of the main character, alongside the BOPPING music. Next time I would suggest making a game more around the theme though, as this doesn't really do anything with it except looping to replay it.

Nice entry, I would've liked more things to avoid, but overall it was fun!

It's a good game for your first. I wish it has a connection with the theme.

Cool game! Art, especially the background, was really nice. The main character sprite stands out visually, from the background, but felt the obstacles did not and it was harder to pay attention to what was coming. The grey saws and grey spikes do not stand out visually, especially when the trees are super high contrast and colorful. Would recommend adjusting saturation and colors so that the focus is on the foreground. Jumping was also a little to floaty for my preferences. Great job!

Very cute, EPIC music! The main character's feet made me chuckle. I got a high score of 104! Beat that people. First jump is a bit of a doozy though. Once you learn the timing on that, the rest of the game is a piece of cake and it doesn't seem to get harder from there.

@kevin-meissner @archock34 @martin183 @hardscore @snowinn @marc-antoine-girard @gonzalol, thank you all for your feedback, we appreciate that.

@rhoff95 thanks for your advices, we'll use them in the future

@barelyevengames thank you for playing our game. I reached 150)) but i think it's easy to get 200 when you know the hit boxes)

Fun little game. i do have to say the speed in the start feels a bit to slow for me but that is just a personal think i like runners to start a bit faster. Great job

love the character art derpy and just right (felt in place), great theme. @barelyevengames "First jump is a bit of a doozy though" have to agree. Wish you titled this too!

I really like the design of the character. The game is simple but works well and fits the theme. I would have liked the character to run a little faster but it's a detail :)

The graphics of your game are quite beautiful. I like the double jump mechanics, especially in the genre of your game, as it is something I consider different. Overall, the game delivers an interesting experience. Congratulations.

Congratulations on your game, I found it a little slow, and the gameplay needs polishing, the source of the score does not match the pixel art used, the arts are very beautiful, and the sound matches well, the 1 time I thought it was to get the disks, I wish you the best of luck, in future project improvements, a big hug.
