  • Cool game. I liked the intro cutscene, the main mechanic is cool, an auto-runner platformer with stumping on enemies head. I had fun. There was a lot of frurstrating deaths tho, like getting killed by spikes following an vertical wall while walking over it and I feel I would very often get hit by an enemy I though I would kill by jumping over it, specially because of the big white sphere, I would kind of assume I can jump on the "head" of the enemies based on the white sphere, but it doesn't seem to be the case wich can be confusing. Still fun game a bit too hard, but fun nonetheless.

I suck at anything sidescroller but it was cute!

Fun runner game that's definitely a case of easy to learn, hard to master. Cute art too! I feel like the hitboxes could be a bit more generous, because it's especially hard to get long combos that include diving.

Great intro! I’m impressed—didn’t even feel like skipping it

The animation is really cute! The vibe is really nice and I think there's potential to this game, like more feedback and BGM! :D

Art and animation are awesome and the cutscene really adds to the theme

Well animated intro, fun gameplay, but some of the sounds hurt to hear, and music would have been nice.

Really fun and simple game! I love it! It has some fun procedural generation, great main mechanics that, while decievingly simple, do have somewhat of a skill ceiling and are really fun to master. One point of feedback I have would be to make the hitboxes a bit more forgiving, specifically when diving down, sometimes it was a bit too challenging to hit enemies (but that might just be a skill issue on my part). Other than that, awesome job with this submission!

This should be the game when you have no internet instead of the dinosaur. Same vibes just a lot more fun :D

I like the art style, the game looks really cute. I’m not really good at it, but it was still fun to play, nice work !

I like it! I do think it would need a better tutorial though.

Other than that I really love the beginning cutscene. Super cute.
