it's like going back in time to play a game on early flash

We have same kind of idea for this jam, I did really try to win this but I can't win this after reaching a lot to the 75%. I don't think difficulty is a problem here. There is only one thing I don't like in this is jumping meter. I know it have to fill up as gameplay difficulty but when combining fast pace obstacles with timing to jump is a  bit frustrating. But I love your goofy art style with goofy music supporting it. All those combination of obstacles are quite brilliant too, I love it mate.

Thank you so much! I agree that in later stages the fill mechanic is quite annoying.

At 75% it become really hard wow! It's so close yet so far. Cool game well done :). I really like the silliness of a horse riding a fake horse ahah!


After a few minutes of playing here are some feedback if you want to make a 1.1 version after the jam: 

  • It's frustrating to not be able to cancel a jump
  • You can't change lane if you have press one time the jump button

Thanks! Yes,  being stuck with the jump is a bug and will be fixed after the Jam!

Very silly coded. Deceptively more difficult than I expected (it took me 3 tries). And a fellow runner type like my game! Almost everything felt smooth and I liked obstacle spawn method.

I wish the jumping was more snappy. The hold system is tough cause you can't cancel it and you can't really store it because you can't change lanes while charging a jump. I would have liked a little spin anim or something when the horse hits oil but that's a nit pick at best.

Overall, well done on this one!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I definitely wanted to improve the slip animation but spent too much on fixing everything else lol. The jump not being cancelable is a bug, will fix it once the jam ends!

the art style is very cool and i love the silliness of a horse riding a horse

Developer

Thank you!!

The music was awesome! I think some of the obstacles could be spaced apart a bit more, the jump is VERY finicky. Other than that though, the art and music were excellent!  

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback!! Yeah, couldn't get too much work on balacing, sometimes it gets really tricky moving around.

Submitted(+1)
