- Ok, this was addicting. Once I got the hang of it, I could see myself playing this for hours. (I went in blind, without reading the information first) (Btut hey! Ifigured it out!) The moment I understood that I could launch myself from the different element, the fun started! Tho I have to say, the evil laugh at the end does get annoying after a while, because the rounds are not that long. Maybe I would suggest making alternate things at the end? Some evil laugh, some claps, some funny laughter. Just so it is less repetitive (and frustrating! hahaha :) Good job. again. this is dangerously addictive Not the most impressive visuals, but very catchy gameplay! Great work!.
- Really fun simple game! Works great, plays well, cant complain! You did a great job with the controls and systems, I experienced very little bugs or glitches. For a game jam game that's a huge feat! Vaulting over things feels nice, and your rewarded with money! All in all, great work!
- Simple but fun!

It was an awesome game, super fun, got to the end, placed 2nd on the leader board,
Congrats for the 2nd place! Not that easy going that fast :-D
Thank you for playing!
Got first place now with a broken bug
Well, I would say congrats for the 1st place, but as I saw in your video you found a big jump bug that made you get pass the final line (it was supposed to be endless, but never got the time to implement it)
Congrats for finding the bug ;-)
Seriously, thank you for playing, streaming and commenting! It was really fun to watch you play and have fun! (and it will help me solve the bug)
This was an incredibly addicting game! Once I maxed out the upgrades I realized maybe I should have kept speed lower - while I was traveling further, it was harder to control! So fun. I couldn't get those last few meters to take first place though...maybe I'll try again!
So great you enjoyed!
Sorry about the speed, I couldn't balance the variables enough to get the game on the nice difficulty spot. But will do in a future update, after the end of the jam voting, would love to hear from you in the future.
Thank you for playing!
Awesome, super fun. Decrease friction is a game-changer. Could not for the life of me get to those higher platforms cuz I was going too fast lol but I ended up rolling through the finish anyway
Thank you!
It's awesome you enjoyed playing! The higher platforms are quite hard to get into, I didn't really got the time for balancing the high speeds versus the platforms. Will do in a next update, thanks for the comment!
The game's quite fun!
Though it doesn't really feel like I'm vaulting,
just feels like standard jumping. Which isn't necessarily bad!
Just not what I imagined thinking about wheel vaulting
Thank you Alex!
For me, the vaulting is represented in the game when you jump and than press space is the air with the right timing over an obstacle, which makes your arm go down and vault over it. Don't know if you got to do that or if this isn't vaulting, but thanks for playing anyway :-)
Ahh I didn't realize you could do that!
I'll give it a try! :D
Have you got the time to try it again? Was it more "vaulting" material with the arm mechanic?
Yessir!
I quite liked it! :D
It's a fun little game! I've never heard of wheel vaulting though?
Hi Bez!
Thank you for playing and commenting :-D
Wheel vaulting is completely made-up during the jam. It was supposed to be "roller vaulting", but I struggle with drawing and animating the character. A wheel was much easier ;-)
OH, because it's a wheel that vaults in the air! I get it. Nice! C:
I really like your game! It is super addicting and if there wasn't a end I would've kept playing until I got as high digits as possible.
Thank you very much!
The goal was to have a more balanced and infinite runner, but you know how Game jams are ;-)
Congrats for finishing your game too, I'm eager to test it (back on sunday after a few days off)
