Not sure if i'm super relaxed or high right now. Nice entry! Responsiveness could be a little bit more polished to have it more action-driven, feels more like a precision game right now.

Super fun! I might have to come back to this one and try to get on the leader board. An enjoyable challenge. Really love the aesthetic and vibes you've got going on!

This game looks incredible, fantastic job! Reminds me of Boson X.

The aesthetics of this game are excellent. It knows exactly what it wants to be and does it really well. The 80s-esque music and feel work great together. The game is challenging, but fair. Overall, a solid experience.

Thanks for submitting your game to us @arthurds! I had a lot of fun playing it. Also, the game I couldn't remember that this reminded me of is called "Fonotica."

Loving the aesthetics! Controls are responsive, the graphics are intriguing and it's generally an addicting game. The difference in themes throughout the "levels" was cool too. The game I never knew I needed. The LD page seems to be missing some text, however? "The game has an online leaderboard, so do your best! But beware, you are only eligeble to enter if you use the"

Physics is really hard to control, that adds challenge. Background music is dope, sadly there is no sounds. I love that neon graphics

Very difficult but definitely a lot of fun! I love this kind of games! Excellent job!

I wish I had my VR glasses on to play this game on it, but unfortunately I forgot it in the store.

I felt like I was playing F-zero, but without other cars and curves, the music matches the gameplay a lot, which despite being difficult at first, later I can get the hang of it.

I didn't understand why I couldn't register, my score, I had a perfect 5 minute match, but ok.

Congratulations!

Was able to make it to high noon lol. Nice game, though it does have some issues. My main issue was honestly not being sure where exactly I'd end up after a jump. Also, there was a physics bug where I ended up getting shot upwards after hitting one of the platforms which was sort of tilted to the one I was on. The general aesthetic and music are great as well. Nice entry

I love these types of games and yours is really challenging, took me some time to get the hang of it and then its an enjoyable, but still challenging ride. The music is really nice. Good job.

Good stuff Pomo, very difficult game, very satisfying to bounce around

Wipeout was my first try hard game as a kid, so this game pushes all my right buttons. The controls felt too floaty at first but after several tries I got the hang of it. It's always hard to know if the controls need work or if it's normal getting used to it. In the end I think the controls are fine. The graphics fit perfect, the music is a bop, the theme of chasing the sun is great. Obviously a lower bar to get in the leaderboard would be preferred, but you know that. The ledges that shoot you up in the air is the thing that bothered me the most. It would be nice to see the edges of the platforms since a few times I felt I cleared them on a jump but didn't.

This is trickyyy! nice concept!

Managed to get to the end with shortcuts and tried forever to get on the leaderboard. I give up for now, but mark my words: I will do it at some point.
But its a really great game with an awesome soundtrack!

God this game is hard... Been trying for a while and I couldn't get past the blue stage... I wish the controls were just a little crisper. Other than that the style and the music are really awesome. Well done, maybe I will beat it some day...

A Pomo game with janky physics? What could you want more from a LD entry.
Let the Highscore battle begin

Great game, very challenging but in a good way! A bit hard to navigate when the camera spins around if you manage to bounce above the center of the "tube", but apart from that, really rewarding to push yourself further and furter. Great aesthetics as well.

Good work!

I like the weird physics but they are also relay annoying.
The RNG when restarting can also be hard.

Fun game, I really loved the artwork.

Really Hard but Really fun game !
Didn't get even close to the leaderboard but kept retrying :)
great work :)

Damn this is so 80s, I love it! I'm real bad at this game though xD

Addicting game, great look, really hard but i wanted to keep trying because it was so fun!

Really fun, couldn't help but keep playing and listening to the banger in the background. The intersecting platforms being able to knock you to the opposite side is pretty brutal, and sometimes I felt like I could slip past an obstacle, but then I couldn't. Ah well, probably played this game longer than any other entry so far!

I'm not great at it, but I sure had fun! I wish the controls were a little more sensitive, but I got the hang odf it eventually! Great job!

Music great, challenge is really good. There's some weird bumps and corners but good stuff!

Loved the game, controls could use some polish but honestly I think part of the difficulty was user error. Awesome Game!

I definitely played this more than anything so far, mostly just frustration-fueled drive to make it to the sun. I dug the aesthetics and the guitar track was chill.

My main challenges were
* No "player" model, so it was sometimes hard to tell where I was touching the ground
* The controls felt a little too "slippery" for a precision jumping game. I had to apply a lot of reverse-pressure to counteract the spin
* Sometimes the collisions felt a little unfair (for example, you clip the edge of a platform and ricochet into the center of the tube)

Otherwise, I spent a good 40 minutes at it. That should speak for itself :)

Ayyyy great game!

I'm not very good at it... like at all but I had fun with it. The theme does feel a little tacked on as it's not much of a threat but nevertheless it's some good stuff you've made heree ^^

Devs of the to me : 'git gud' thanks brrrooooo
nice graphics

Quite hard, but cool game. It was fun to play it.

Really hard. I think the music not evolving as you play and instead being a stationary loop was a bit of missed potential. Overall cool vibes.

Did you made the music? Who made the music? I want to know :D If you made it, did you played the physical guitar and record it?

The feel of this game is so relaxing, but stressful at the same time haha
It's a good combo. The gameplay is smooth, and the level progression feels rewarding

@cemre Our amazing musician made the music! I'm pretty sure is an actual physical guitar

Great music, great gameplay, great madge on stream 10/10 when can I go on the leaderboard y dis game hard. Jokes aside, make the moon chase you faster because it's not very apparent that it chasing you ending the game is delaying the inevitable. Although technically the level theme and design reflects that of the next day is always inevitable going from the morning to dusk and to daybreak (hint, new stage name instead of sunrise that sounded boring lmao).

Solid, beautiful and immersive game! Pretty stressful though. I couldn't make it to the end as I wanted to take a break but maybe I'll give another go sometime later

Really enjoyed it though, the visuals and music are great and even when you fail you can kinda just enjoy the show. Carpe Diem, hehe. Great job!

Thanks for coming to my stream! Here's a recording in case you'd like to refer to it https://youtu.be/aJkdjOKW03M

This is really cool! It's totally nailing a certain psychadelic vibe. It kinda reminds me of the surfing stages from Rayman 3 lol. I don't think I got very far because I'm terrible when controls have friction, but I reached the part with the electric guitars.

Really cool stuff!

Pomo made another very difficult game :(

Very nice entry, reminded me of a classic flash game mixed with some clustertruck! (I will beat it someday)

The graphics and aesthetic are so nice. I like the game play loop; it's simple and fun

Loved the neon aesthetics! Unfortunately I'm bad at it so I've yet to finish - even using shortcuts. I'll have to go back to it after playing more entries...

One thing I'd suggest is that the tubes could have some (neon?) borders as their outside can blend with their inside.

I was so so bad at this game, but it really made me laugh and was super fun! I definitely fell off immediately, but that's how I found how its nice and quick to restart at least! Overall it gives me Sonic vibes because its so fast and spiny, its hard to get the hang of, but once I understood what the balls were for, things were fine haha.

The vibes were nice and im glad there was a shortcuts once you got far enough!

Overall, nicely done! And the leaderboard is a great touch, not that I'LL ever get to touch it haha. I also liked the music :)

Game was very fun. Played through it with shortcuts, and I'll be working on finishing it without soon. Simple gameplay, but it still doesn't get stale after repeat attempts. Will certainly revisit after playing more games.

Well, the game has quite an addictive gameplay. The movement is challenging, however, I didn't have many problems with it. On the other hand, it's not that obvious that I have to keep a certain movement speed.

Anyone who finished this game without shortcuts is a nerd

I accidentally commented twice but I regret nothing, deserved two comments so all you nerds see it

@alexrose oh how the mighty have fallen, git gud

The Game is fun, yet challenging.
<Reminds me of an old game i used to play!

The visuals really fit the arcade feeling of the game.
Unfortunately, the controls felt waaay too sluggish for me, as if I was controlling a boat in space :( I think I would wave enjoyed a more nervous gameplay.

Any way, it's still a nice submission, gratz !

The aesthetic is very cool and the game plays well! I wish there was some audio feedback for when jump/land, and maybe a bit higher initial acceleration as it feels a bit sluggish in the beginning (feels better later). Great job in general though!

Thanks for bringing your game by my stream for feedback! If you’d like to revisit the play and commentary you can view the highlight at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1448039293

Good stuff once I realized my controller was out of deadzone and switched to using it. Fun challenge, interesting perspective, floaty felt good but hard. Found it a bit challenging to judge where I would be landing, and sometimes I felt like my double-jump vanished. I'm sure that's all user error.

Crashes at startup :-/

@ace17 You could try redowloading it, I know for sure other linux users managed to play it. Besides that I'm sorry but I can't help you much :/

Game looked amazing and the music was awesome. The art style fit the narrative perfectly and I love the feeling of going super fast.

But unfortunately there are some big issues with the physics. It looks like you used a built-in physics system which doesn't work best in this application. Moving left/right is momentum based which can make the character hard to move quickly, and centrifugal force means that the player will fall much faster while moving left/right. I think it would've been better to keep track of the player's velocity then move the player forward based on that every frame, then store the player's left/right location with a 360deg. angle. Then use raycasts to tell if the player is grounded or runs into something. To move left/right just change the angle by an amount inversely proportional to the distance from the center.

But don't get me wrong, this is still an excellent submission and I enjoyed it very much :smile: .

Pomo... This is amazing ! It's addictive, the music and graphics all come together and brings back memories of my childhood with this one game I can't remember the name off... PLUS WHIPEOUT... it's really good , solid entry and I will be playing way more of it !

Hey! Thanks for showing up on stream today!
Here's a VOD if you ever need footage of me sucking at this game: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1449081810

Really cool game! I wasn't able to get very far bc I'm not good at these types of games, but the gameplay is really fun, the graphics are amazing and the overall mood is just spot on. Well done!

A good game, pomo! I enjoyed it! Definitely one that you have to keep playing to get used to the controls and predicting your movement. Really nice mood set by the audio and trippy visuals at times. Nice that you added checkpoints too, for accessibility!

One of my favorite entries so far, great platforming experience!

pretty fun, felt really floaty at times (maybe that was meant, but I didn't feel good to me).

Main Audio loop got repetitive really quickly.

Also Escape should take you back menus

But great entry really well polished and good experience overall.

I spent WAY too long on this, and probably will spend more. Too addictive. Super dope entry!

The overlapping tiles sometimes throw you up into the air which can be frustrating, and the responsiveness of the rotation could use a little nudge upwards I think, but otherwise great.

Really great looks. Awesome atmosphere and nice execution of the theme. But the controls were a choice, I believe. I think they could be intentionally this floaty. I feel it fits the challenge. But in case you want your controls to be more snappy, make sure to use the constant force component in unity to increase gravity, for example. That's the smartest way to do non-floaty controls in 3D, at least as far as I know.

Synthwave aesthetics are the way to my heart. This game just hits all the right spots. The art. The music. The gameplay. Theres nothing not to love. Except the floatiness of the character. That takes some time to get used to.

Other than that, perfect.

It's the *vibe* that makes this game really shine. And when you get in the zone, it feels pretty good. I love the rush,
and for me it scratches the same itch as quake defrag's high-speed traversal.

However, the physics-based movement makes it difficult to feel in control. I suppose the floatiness might be intended and it creates a unique experience on its own - but I'd very much like to try out the exact same game with more precise controls.

It might be a personal preference. The *vibe* definitely got to me though.

Btw good choice on including the tunnel sections - they work very well as the breather between high-stakes platforming.

I don't smoke weed, but the music and visuals of this game make me feel like I'm missing out

Amazing soundtrack and vibe to the game, super hard I couldn't make it to the end in one go, but I definitely spent 30mins trying lol. Great submission.

Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my stream!

 Doesn't seem to completely agree with UW screens. Pretty fun to play, but hitting those small ledges that yeet you upwards are brutal. Very unlikely to be able to correct for them, unless you get lucky with platform placement. Feels a bit too slide-y at low speeds, high speeds it evens out and it seems easier to control.

Hey guys, I really enjoyed playing your game on stream the other day! @eduardo-kolody, awesome job on the stoner rock tunes which I'm going to assume were yours. Not sure if they were entirely fitting for the game but I sure enjoyed them! As for @gustavo-doo, super nice job on the neon visuals and @arthurds for putting it all together! I don't know what @thalisson did but I'd like to congratulate them too on doing their part (credit your game guys haha!). The game was super hard but tons of fun to play. I also feel it could have greatly benefited from having some sound effects in there. Anyway, thanks for sharing your game with me!

I feel like I was very bad at this game but I can imagine a more skilled player enjoying the challenge of staying on. I did make it to a new platform eventually, it seemed that if I rolled a level where I didn't have to jump soon I would get further. I feel like jumping is much harder than just running which is odd that the two mechanics don't seem to be ramping/set at an even skill level. Like, if I just have to run I am having a good time and feel like I have a chance, as soon as I need to jump I just feel like I am destined to lose. Again, might just be a bad player here haha.

Thank you for brining it by it was a cool looking game for sure. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1451440143?t=05h55m07s

Brazilians are rulling this Ludum Dare 50!

Congratulations for the amazing job guys, I had so much playing your game, the art and the sound effects are really cool and the HUD it's really simple but well done so congrats again on that!

Thank you for letting me play your game :D

FIRST TRY LETS GOOOOO

Reminds me of Jeff Minter's games! Well done :)

Man this is soooo hard
I suppose with the vibe of the game when you're in the zone it's really cool but for me the controls & collisions were frustrating ^^;
Still have a nice vibe, nice graphics, interesting runner to say the least, and wish a leaderboard so kudos! Solid entry

Really nice game, the controls feel good and it feels really satisfying when youre going fast a full speed!

I wish I was better at it, but this was a really fun game. Very strong aesthetics : )

Really cool entry!
The music was really amazing and really added to the atmosphere a lot, very well made, although it would've been nice to have more levels with different music and something separate for the main menu so it's less repetitive. The graphics were simple but fit it really well, and the post processing helped add onto the mood properly too. The gameplay was overall really nice and kept me replaying it for a long time trying to get further, but I also had some issues with it. The tiles can overlap which send you flying into the air and often make you lose, which feels really unfair. The randomization each time you restart made it less repetitive but it sometimes also led to some situations where it was a lot harder to make it. The mouse to look option was mostly making it more confusing, and it wouldn't reset the camera position unless you restarted the game. I had some problems with the UI as well, the main menu was a bit confusing and in-game the jump bars sometimes didn't really seem to work correctly. The movement was sometimes a bit slow, which did make it feel a lot smoother but sometimes it did make it harder to correct for issues or to land a jump. The theme and story sometimes felt a bit tacked on or like it didn't really fit it. It would've also been nice to have some more levels with a slower difficulty curve so you can get the hang of the controls slowly.

Still, for such a short time frame this is a really good game, with some slight more refinement I could see myself playing this a lot haha, great job, really cool idea and was fun to play :D

Very well made game for a jam! I think the music and atmosphere is spot on. It doesn't fit the theme too well in my opinion and the controls feel a bit floaty, but it's still fairly polished and very well executed. How are you storing the online leaderboard data? Are you using an online service or storing it yourselves on a server? Please consider checking out our game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/50/25-vikings

I really like this game. The music is well made and it complements the graphics really well. I do wish there were sound effects though. Regardless, I had tons of fun playing it. Awesome submission :)

Thank you for passing by the stream~!

The game is quite hard but fun~ It is hard to know where are you standing and also also, I would like to know why you guys added the camera with the mouse if that makes the game even MORE difficult U:<

Great experience, the music was amazing over the neon colors~

"Just one more try and I leave it there"

very cool mechanics very intuitive and nothing limiting the player which is one of the best thing i love about your game design! lets the player exercise their own strategies! loved the music also. one thing thou i believe it would improve the experience to let edge catching renew jumps!

fun, love the vibe, some of these jumps are hard as hell, but I guess I should just slow down!

You win this time, Pomo...

[Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1457327946?t=01h02m11s)

As usual, I'm terrible at this game, but I definitely feel like I can get better at it, given enough time (now all I need is enough time...)!


Unfortunately I missed the tournament since I was on Vacation.

It took me a long time this LD but I finally made it to the Top of your leaderboard.

One speedrunning trick for anyone wanting to beat this score:
Sideways acceleration is faster than forward. So use your mouse to turn yourself sideways and accelerate with a or d as often as you can! It is tricky but, once mastered, it makes especially the start much faster

@ausstein Return of the king

I love all the reatrowave style, i recomend you TimeCop1983!!!!!, i love the game people..!!!

Mayhaps could use slightly different inertia for going forward/backward and side to side, so that rotating doesn't feel so unpredictably slidey, especially at lower speeds. Also I would like a slightly better chance to save a fall into the void if I have enough jetpack to stop the dive and go back up on a platform.
