It is never easy to get it working in this short time frame. The art and animations are definitely a highlight of this game. The art style really gives me some nostalgic vibes.\n\nThe game is quite difficult to understand at first - it maybe could use a tutorial. I suppose there was more to experience but I was not able to get out of the bicycle room.\n\nOverall, really nice and visually polished jam game!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":787508,"author_name":"Janku","author_uid":"janku","epoch":1649156799,"text":"It seems like a beggining of a fun project, although it is confusing at first. Maybe add simple tutorial, or just add instructions in game's description on itch.io and ludum dare pages?

However, don't forget to polish the rest too. I had to leave the game to gasp what the controls are. I expect the game to tell me. The peddaling part implied (for me) that I had to mash A & D very fast, like ADADADAD. But the mechanic was appearantly hold-A, then hold-D. Maybe that could have been a bit more clear by graying out one of the circles when not in use, or to show one circle with the letter you have to press :-)","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":822718,"author_name":"Skleembof","author_uid":"skleembof","epoch":1649608498,"text":"The graphics look nice and the setting is interesting, but the gameplay needs some work. I think if you add more minigames and things to keep track of while also increasing the pace of play, this could be a very hectic and enjoyable short experience. As it is now, the game moves along way too slowly and I found myself just sitting around waiting for something to break or the time to be low enough to have a reason to get on the bike.\n\nBut either way, great job putting this together in time for the jam.
