Nice little game! At some points the speed changes felt a bit non smooth, as if FPS was a bit low, but it was still fun (and maybe that was just happening in my computer, not sure). There are a couple issues like being able to outrun the screen, but it is a nice game regardless!

- Good game, it was fun. It needs more polish. I like the music and sound effects

Thank you for having tried and for your comment. Ehm, what can I say, I know exactly of what you are saying and is definitly an issue I have tried to resolve and I will try again with more time.
Is the clouds BG generation that causes that moment of slowness but strangely enough is also what is making work the part composition of the level at runtime. The idea was to fix the relative position of the clouds making them just above the camera but changing (ore entirely removing) even a bit the first and only clouds generated batch and removing the slowness will break apart the first stacking of the next part of the level. I realized this at hours before delivery when trying to fix the cloud as I had made the one you see at beginning of the dev and put them aside for later. Thank you for pointing that out, I find it interesting and I hope to understand why and fixing but I believe that maybe I will have to find another way to trigger the stacking of the level part each time (that is a big workaround I had to find and I'm not happy about it) but I will need to know more of kaplay to change it. thx again
And the outrunning of the screen is been pointed out by other so I have thinked about that one on how to change. At fist I was thinking it wouldnt be an issue because only happens when you start over, insted when you die and not press f and you are reborn with some of the points and speed is less likely to impact the player or that is what I though before player's feedback
Really loved the rebirth mechanic, it would awesome to have more diverse "rebirth" level.
Awesome game!!!
Interesting little game! Definitely felt a little slow, and I was frequently ahead of the scrolling. I couldn’t figure out what you meant by pressing F, or what that did, and I got discouraged by having to go all the way back to the start with how slow it scrolls at the beginning. Nice work on it being your first game though!!
oh boy, I'm definitly learning something here. Sorry for the confusion, I realize it's not at all explained.
So pressing F when proposed you save your score and end your run but if you don't press F the game continues in this way: you have to exit from a "simple" level in order to go back to jump along with the part of your score that you mantained dependindg on how quick you were to exit the door. And you start from beginning but with some speed mantained.
You could do this indefinitly but at some point it will be better to end your run pressing f when proposed because you will loose more than you gain.
Thx a lot for taking the time to play and commen.
Thanks for trying it and commenting. Yeah you are right, I guess i could've done something that "pushed" you upper but that has it's own speed instead it was simplier to bind the limit to camera position. In that way you could've gain space going faster initially and than the something will have come along later. Thx again for the feedback.
