The levels are pretty repetitive, and the hitboxes are super janky, but it's fun to land a good jump and get the huge speed boost. I wish sliding carried momentum better, as I think that would have made it feel more fun to use. Some of the background objects clip part way through the player model, and hitting retry while stunned doesn't reset stun, but those are mostly minor things. Good work, I really enjoyed this one.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1133381,"author_name":"Senkoso","author_uid":"senkoso","epoch":1744139894,"text":"this game is pretty fun, I like it","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1133405,"author_name":"Cure","author_uid":"cure","epoch":1744140078,"text":"The movement felt kinda stiff, which was unfortunate because hitting a slide into a double jump through a tight spot was such a great feeling!

I understand you need some sort of punishment in the game, but getting stunned for so long is annoying. I think it would create a more smooth experience to just remove that stun period and convert it into a direct time penalty on your timer. Also, speed boosts from downhills felt satisfying, so I would suggest more of that in your levels.\n\nBesides that, I think the graphics worked for a ludum dare submission, and the music was vibe-y.

I managed to play about 10 levels and when the movement clicked I even started to bronze the levels! Yea, it is a bit clunky, but I still really appreciate the physics you guys could pull of there. Great work! Medals and stunts are great addition. Are levels procedurally generated? I started to notice some patterns. To me this was great choice, as it gave the time I could play until I grasped the movement to feel fun. Liked the visual design.
