- One of the standouts of this jam, though of course not perfect. I could go on about the things I really liked, but there is too much to talk about there (the art, the idea, the homage to those shitty ads we always see, the dialogue, etc.) that I will instead briefly highlight my only gripe with the game: The pacing. The stages are not very well balanced length-wise in my opinion, as the first one drags on for very long while the rest can realistically be finished in about two to three tries with decent luck. That's some not great balancing! Still, all this game needs is a little bit more time in the oven and it will be perfect!
- Fun and simple game, nice to see progressive pregnancy being shown. Gameplay is simple and repetitive but still keeps your attention. The main character and co-worker art is great. The game art is simple but also is sort of part of the story of sorts. As for jam theme, glad to see the player work toward hyperpregnancy but would love to see more interpretations of pushing limits.
- As much as I hate the ads I see for games akin to this, P-Runner actually does as it says when you go through each power-up wall! A great pregression helps P-Runner's case and the MC sure pushed the limits of her chair!
- The runner game itself is a bit too grindy and unbalanced to be properly fun; but the story being told and the character art provides all the motivation needed to keep playing. This is, ironically, such a brilliant meta take on phone games in general. The only thing it's missing is a post game gallery.

5/5 amazing game, i wish there were more stages that were slower
In my opinion the best entry to the Jam. Where most other submissions range in feel from barely playable tech demo to unpolished early access, this one in my opinion most feels like a complete game. No shade on the other developers, such is simply the nature of game jams. But when you assess the given time frame and make realistic judgements on your skills and abilities, this is the kind of project that you can get.
The art is definitely the standout part. Beautiful, gorgeous art that really makes me wonder how someone this good at drawing can also have this much game dev proficiency. Almost seems unfair. The game play itself wonderfully captures the kind of simple and engaging mechanics that make the phone games this is based off of so addicting.
Overall, my only real complaint is that there's not more. Seriously, how can you tease us with 2048 and not deliver on it? So cruel~
please i need NewGame+
i actually love this game. once again youve killed it <3
Slime hunter taylor and P-Runner are some of my favourites of all time. Gorgeous artwork aswell
I'm surprised you think of Slime Hunter Taylor so highly, it definitely feels like I've come a long way since then. Thank you!
I feel like the main image for this submission does this a bigger disservice than anything else. As it gives off a lower quality impression than this honestly deserves.
I found this to be simple and straightforward. A fun little game with just enough difficulty to be challenging without being frustrating.
I just wish I could resize the window. As it defaults to a size that obscures the dialogue between levels.
Thank you for your efforts! Any plans to work on this more after the Jam?
Thank you! I'm not sure why exactly the text cuts off as it always displayed fine for me, but it looks like there's a simple option to allow resizing the window. I'd want to at least do a balance/QOL update, but then for a major update after that, I'll have to see if updating the game or making a full sequel would work better, but I have thought of where I could take this after the end!
Not bad, the collisions for some things could be kinda wonky and I wish the theme came up more in the actual game play, but legitimately a much better game then all the adds its riffing on. It did get a bit repetitive at times, but considering the time constraints that's a minor issue.
I think there's some real potential in taking this idea somewhere further with more gradual growth or making upgrades have impacts on the gal.
Nice work!
Loved the game! Would have definitively played a x2048 version ;)
Really solid game, my only complaint is the lack of music
Really enjoyed this, good work :)
I do love the idea and the gameplay do feel like a cell game but a good one but the first part of the can be long and then the last level I beat it first try.
Was a great and fun game, the start was a little hard but it was easy afterwards! I would love for it to continue with what it was hinting at, though it sucks that your progress cant be saved overall 5/5 stars!
a fun simple game! Can’t help but feel curious of the 2048 mention and the fact that she still played the game
fun little game ,recommended
for what it is its great
There are a few times where it looked like the shots fired didn't do anything, but in the long run it didn't matter. This is a game that you can turn off your brain. Zero skill involved, but rewarding and addictive. Plus the art is hella cute.
A bit too easy, but does the job.
Baller Mobile game. And even the image is lying to you, so it's metalore accurate.
This was really good!
loved it :))
