Pretty good halloween runner game, I liked the music.  💀
There is a bug after I lose and restart the game - the counters stay at 000.

Pretty solid endless runner :) I just wish the mechanic of the skulls was more impactful and with some type of "counter play", like "If you collect skulls it becomes more difficult, but if you collect X thing it becomes easier, but it cost you a life" or something like that. Something that would make balancing the difficulty through collectables crucial to the game. Idk, just my two cents :) Either way, that was a fun experience! Nicely done :)

Actually, the more Skulls you collect, the fewer spawn and the more obstacle come flying over the path. I had difficulties balancing it out, most likely i settled to low.

Probably, because at a very early point, skulls just disappeared completely, never to be seen again. That's why I was talking about an extra collectable that would increase their spawn rate or something like that, so the player is not punished with never having the chance to get a skull again for the rest of the game, but if it is just because a value was set too low, then it'll be easier to fix :D

I agree with Lanterngeist, it's a solid foundation and a solid endless runner. However more obstacles and/or more collectibles would make it much more fun. 😊

This could be a solid foundation, but it definitely needs more mechanics or interactions to make it feel complete.

Thank you so much! Yes, it's a technical prototype. I've had the endless runner idea on my list for a while, so I used this jam as a good excuse to finally make one.
