It's difficult to see the next obstacle with the current camera view. Maybe zoom out the camera a bit so more on the level is seen and player is able to maneuver accordingly. It's a fun idea though. Keep it up!

It gets difficult to dodge when you're going faster, maybe have the camera at a specific position? Good game and great concept however - well done!

Submitted

Good attempt. I didn't understand how to kill enemies and it was hard to dodge because camera give to little space to see in front of you, it would be better if camera moved down, not up. Also I often  died from objects right nearby, there should be some checks to not let enemies spawn close you at start.

Good job!

I found it very hard, but good idea!

I think the game has a good base of gameplay. Of course I understand that the three day limit is a harsh deadline to make a game especially as a solo developer now less, but I wish the game was a bit more developed. Also I was trying to figure out how to kill the enemies since there was a hud indicating that I could but I wasn't able to. Maybe the mechanic was scrapped out of time constraints, however I do think the hud have should be removed if that was the case. 

The game's difficulty curve is also a bit too extreme due to the fact that the player falls down WAY too quickly. A simple fix that would help with the difficulty would be to place the player higher on the screen so that players have more time to see the enemies on screen and dodge them. 

I wish you success in all your future games!

Not sure if I'm missing something, but I wasn't able to kill any enemies and I was falling way too fast way too soon. Is there a way to slow my fall?
