Newbie?

Yes - I'm new to game jams!

How does your game fit the theme?
The main character has to "just get started" and goes on a run for the first time in a while. I experienced a TON of difficulty making this but I really wanted to "just get started. Love your channel BTW :)

Nice job getting started! I liked the character and the animations. I had to zoom out on the page a lot to see the text - not entirely sure why that was.

Submitted

Good job on making your first game! Hope you continue to grow and progress.

Although I don't always want the game I play to be difficult, I do think this could use a little bit of that to be more in line with the theme.

Developer

Cool and thanks for the advice!

Submitted

You really do get a sense of speed as the graphics zoom by! I wonder if there could be an arch to the game story where the character questions if its all going too fast and too smoothly all of a sudden haha good stuff!

Developer

Thanks and that's actually a really cool idea

Submitted

Neat game, but you should add a fullscreen button or make the screen in the page itself bigger.

Developer

Thanks and yeah I deffo needed to make the camera more zoomed out

Submitted

Pretty art, kinda difficult to see all the text in windowed mode. I think I've missed some instructions since got stuck pretty early.

Developer

Thanks and next time I'll try to incorporate a proper tutorial

Submitted

Easy and short game, but really needs a fullscreen button 

Developer

Thanks and agreed!

Submitted

would be nice If you add a full screen button as the screen is cutoff a lot

Developer

Yeah that was definitely my main oversight, thanks!

Submitted

Developer

Yeah I made the screen way too zoomed in and thanks!

Submitted

Boi runs very fast. It's hard to control sometimes. Tripple jump mechanic is nice

Needs bigger screen maybe.

Developer

Thanks for the advice and yeah the screen definitely needed to be zoomed out

Submitted

Nice game! For a moment when I fell, I thought was soft-locked, but I realized that I can jump multiple times. Good job on managing to submit this despite the difficulty you faced making this game!  Damn thematically, it hits hard. 

Developer

I'm really glad that you enjoyed it and thanks for playing!
