Fun idea and I'm happy to see another endless runner in the jam! I like the art and the style. Sound effects work good and the concept works well also.

The game doesn't change much which is missed in a runner type game in my opinion. Many runners do difficulty scaling by making it speed up as time goes by. Yours is unique in that it spawns enemies to fight while you run so simply spawning more enemies or more difficult enemies (or even more obstacles) would work as well. Even if it doesn't get too much harder, it would be good if there was some variety in play. ATM the loop is just spamming mouse1 while moving in a circle and once every 400 points or so you accidently touch a rock and lose a health point. I did run into the 500 end bug but no big deal with that ofc. 

Good job with the game!

Developer

I liked the idea, I feel the smaller rocks is a bit hard to understand they can be bumped into.

Developer

Very visually polished for a game jam, I like the art, but I think it would benefit if it was not as difficult!

Developer(+1)

thank you!! didn't have time to implement the difficulty scaling we would have liked to, we should have that fixed by the next time we update :))))

I found it fun, but a bit too punishing, bumping into something felt like a guaranteed hit, and some of the rocks didn't really read as "bump-in-to-able". That said the idea was silly and the art was nice! Good job!

Developer

going to fix that soon, thanks for the feedback :))

Hard game with really nice visual, and special effects, the only thing I can say is that the window closes after death, and the player always presses the LMB before death, skipping this screen

Developer

going to fix that for next update :)) thank you!!
