I liked it !
I feel like the difficulty might be a bit unforgiving once you get far enough though, the rail-hopping animation end-lag ends up being the run ender for most of my tries, and in the end it just feels bad to die to an un-reactable obstacle !
Still really enjoyed the art/sound direction though, gave me a really good first impression when first starting the game ^^
Nice game ! Good work <3
Yeah dead ends were my personal pet peeve when developing the game but sadly I didn’t wanna waste too much time with them, I did also plan a better rail jumping system but when we cut the game down I settled on keeping it as is. Glad you liked the game though! Yeah it’s quite challenging, if we come back to it we’d like to expand it, re-implement cut content, and fix issues people have had playing it.
Thank you for your feedback! <3
Awesome game!!
Glad you got the submission working, fun game!
Thank you so much! We’re glad you had fun.
Road Rash meets Skate or Die on rails! This is interesting! The game itself isn't my cup of tea personally, but I can definitely see the appeal and I'm sure lots of other people are enjoying this in a big way!
We’re surprised to see how much people enjoy it! Glad you found it interesting even if it didn’t appeal to you personally!
So sorry to see about the submission issues, I hope people come back to play this one because the frog reacting to me shooting a guy for no reason is the funniest thing i've seen all jam
Thank you so much! It’s supposed to be a fish haha, but there was a lot more dialogue he was meant to have reacting to stuff you do and was meant to be voiced with a New Yorker accent but a lot of that had to be cut for time.
I'm dead, the humor in this was so funny especially after accidentally killing an npc!
I’m glad you found it funny! We wanted to do more with the fish, giving it a voiced New York accent and more reactions. We plan to come back to the game at some point to add everything we had to scale back which was a surprising amount.
Fun and classic vibe! Liked the interactions with the fish and various 'enemies' and the music is great! Nice job!
Thank you! We wanted the fish to have a variety of more interactions but sadly we had to cut a fair bit from the game for time, a lot of sprites and screens were fully animated but we had to scale it all back, a lot of it’s still left in the files though so we hope to return to re-implement it all.
The music is made by Night Chemistry! Give his music a listen, genuinely it’s incredible stuff, we couldn’t ask for a better composer. https://nightchemistry.bandcamp.com/
Looks like the bug fixes did more harm than good and it got pulled.
Hey, so somehow after upload, we’re unsure how, but “Disable new downloads” was turned off. This has been sorted. Sorry for the inconvenience.
No uploads. Did you miss the deadline?
