I actually had a lot of fun playing this. Perfectly chaining together jumps and slides felt really rewarding and it was fun trying to time my jumps to get to more water bottles. The sound design was also very good. Really solid game all round. Well done!

Loved the simple controls and the idea in overall. The game really fits the theme well, my record was somewhere near 2.5km, couldnt do better than that.

The ContractI got 2.67 km. I think that's pretty good, no? I liked the difficult curve. Whenever I would miss a jump, I saw the other path with more water bottles and kept thinking, there has got to be a way to get up there. And once I managed it, I felt like it taught me to have a better sense of the controls and how to combine sprinting with jumping. That was really cool.
This was pretty fun. I liked how the upper route is hard to get to when you first start, then as you get faster it becomes more accessible. It was also really satisfying and fun at those parts where you can go sliding is series while you sprint!
One note, though: There was a part of the track that I sometimes seemed to get softlocked at for some reason. It only happened twice, and it didn't really ruin the experience for me, but I thought you might want to know so that you can fix it when the jam is over if you wanted to.

Back to the StartFor a first time game jam, this is incredible. First off, I love what inspired you to make this, exercising. Its so unique and I feel it makes it more personal to you. The game itself is very fun as well, I love that there is a harder upper route and slower bottom route, very sonic the hedgehog in that regard. Congrats on your first game jam, this was awesome!

Hotel RushI really liked it, this was a fun game. I did liked the sound effects whenever you reached like a new record or +1km. Reading the description of the game, it is honestly very wholesome and cool that this sorta portrayed training with your dad and brother. Good stuff!

Everything starts smallThe game looks great, for a starter you did an awesome job. I feel the connection between the theme and the game was a bit weird, I didnt understand too much, maybe a cutscene or a text saying that it would be his first race maybe? I dont know I feel I wanted a plot on this game, it would be nice to understand why or if he was actually getting started. The gameplay is simple, makes sense and I feel some controls were hard to me to understand. Great art and concept, nice job overall!
Hey, thank you so much for playing and for your detailed review. If you don't count "The Castle"(The Castle is the another game in my profile, that was made with a tutorial, so it's not original), One Two Start is my first original game, I must confess I still didn't learn how to do cutscenes, so I tried to explain the theme fit in the game page. I'll try to do bettter the next time, thanks for the tips :)
simple and nice beginner project! art is pretty and gameplay while simple is decently engagin
