A really hard game.
- You do tricks by hitting the arrow keys or WASD at the same time (or quickly back to back). For example to do a floop trick hit down and right! This trick will get you points and launch you into the air, where you can follow it up with another trick.
- Doing tricks consecutively will build up a combo and get you bonus points the higher the combo. A combo ends when you touch the ground after being in air, or if you fumble.
- You will fumble if you hit a key combination that doesn't match a trick.
- Doing different types of tricks in one combo will get you bonus style points. Doing as many different tricks as you can before a combo ends can net you a lot of bonus points!
I did find the tricks to be a little difficult to pull off sometimes (I don't think I ever managed to land on a rail properly), but once I got the hang of a few combos, they were pretty fun to pull off!
I do think some audio cues would really enhance the experience, since I never could really tell when I would meet the threshold and have my timer reset. But otherwise I had a great time with this one!
Overall, though, pretty fun! Great job!
