Reinvent the Wheel by ratly
A game inspired by the square bicycle (https://www.sciencenews.org/article/riding-square-wheels) and all of the other curious pairs of Roads and Wheels as described in http://web.mst.edu/~lmhall/Personal/RoadsWheels/RoadsWheels.pdf .
Controls:
Use Spacebar to jump over the gaps. Use the mouse to select and switch to the wheel in your inventory that matches the shape of the terrain. Good luck!

A very unique runner, although after playing through the straight forward early levels I didn't want to play through effectively the tutorial portion again. Would be great if there was a button that starts it at the harder random map.
Actually, can't say that is not an inovation haha.
Fun: Cheerful presentation and addictive gameplay! (After quite a few attempts my record is 2.52km which is probably further than I've ever made it on a real bike without falling off.)
Theme: Yep!
Graphics: I enjoyed the graphics. I like the way the stick figure's legs move properly. And you managed to get all the maths right for lining up the wheels with the road, so I'm impressed.
Audio: Just right for the game.
Humor: The humour comes from the quirky nature of the game, I think. I had a smile on my face while I played it.
Mood: A happy fun mood - it made me happy to keep playing.
(Bonus category) Education: Cool way to sneak some maths into a game. I wonder if it's possible to randomly generate some of the roads and matching wheels at the start of the game, so the player can't just memorise how they match up?
Overall: Fun and well presented.
I initially had some trouble with the jump at the end of the clover wheel portion, but after a few tries I discovered it's better to jump a little early rather than at the edge.
I love the way the music fits with something like this too. Very nicely done!
Nice job
