Unfortunately, as the chicken I ran into a bug. I went up a ramp that dropped me on top of a stack of boxes, and instead of ending the run, it dropped me through the floor of the world.
This is when I discovered I cannot hit escape to get a menu. You should definitely add that.
Also, it is jarring when moving from one track to another, it would feel better if that transition was smooth.
Overall, this is a fun game! Thank you for sharing it!

More dynamic camera would help the game feel solid. I agree with that. If there will be post jam update, first things will be implementing this. Thank you for feedback :)
@the-lame-brain
The pause and returning the main menu is missing, and if we do post jam update, i'll add these features of course.
I am happy that you enjoyed despite these bugs and lack of features. Thank you for these generous feedbacks :)

Motion blur is a big no-no for me too, but we kept open for this project to give players feel of speed. But we need to let players choose if they want motion blur or not. Big thanks for feedback :)

Sorry, that's just way too big for me to download for a test game
