I don't like platformers, but it's a funny start) and it's kind of crazy)

It's a very fun and interesting game. I really like it. The music and sounds are very pleasant. But I found a bug. I jumped on a moving platform and got stuck, so I had to restart the game. It would be great if the player could die from this.

It was funny!

(I couldn't score more than 500 points, so I had to use another method)

How the heck :P 
Care to share your methods so I can patch it up?

I traced your API keys through the Network scanner in the browser. To be honest, I don't really know how to fix this. Hacking something is easier than protecting it

Reply

Found this: "Security recommendations emphasize that full protection requires sending scores from a game server rather than directly from the client, as this prevents users from accessing the API key."


Well, it works well enough for a game jam at least, as long as there's no Nexitron's around . 馃槢

Oh this is great - I love how the level is randomized. And the chicken asset is super cute. Great work!

Clever intro. I really thought it would be a pong like game. Never expected getting smashed by platforms as a helpless chicken.

It's really cool. Really hard, but its fun, fast paced platforming and I'm here for it. I can't even get passed 200 on my score.

It definitely needs some rebalancing as far as difficulty goes. There's also a lot of really unfair ways to die.. Loving all this feedback though! There will for sure be a few post-jam updates to smooth things out. Thanks for playing!

Also if I were you I would put a tag that says "rage game", just in case :D

I am sitting here for half an hour now trying to beat my highscore of 200

If you're trying for that long then that's a really good sign, right? :P I will definitely work on the difficulty curve after the jam.

No dont, I love it as it is. But if you can I would love linux support, Imma play it on my steamdeck.

Really beautiful game :D I just don't understand where the theme is implemented, but without that it should be the winner :)

Reply
LizardWizardDeveloper122 days ago

It's implemented in the simplest (dumbest) way possible. There's a chicken hiding in the pong ball. 馃ぃ

Love the idea <3 It's so hard to not be caught up by the pong rockets XD Very good game!

I'm glad you liked it! It makes me so happy to hear that people are giving it multiple tries.

Agree with previous comments - one click / key press would probably have been enough to hatch the egg and get the game going. That said that Pong intro is really a fun introduction. 

Not sure if it is just on my laptop, but the controls felt a bit laggy, especially the jumps, so it ended up taking me some time to get into the flow of things.

Other than that, a fun little endless runner that just manages to  tied into the theme with you reveal of the player character.

Thank you for playing! I appreciate the feedback very much. Not sure about the lag, but I'll look into anything that might need optimizing.

Cool platformer game.
As it was told earlier, need to reduce time to start a new run)
Like color palette, feels pretty cozy.

Thank you so much! That is a really good point, and for sure something I'll update after the jam.

This is really challenging!

I do love the Pong intro right at the start, that was a really neat touch.

I think it's a cool platformer and I honestly would have played it more but I feel it needs a quicker restart cycle since it is quite difficult to get very far and I was getting a little frustrated.

Really good effort though, good for a short game jam like this :)

Thank you! I agree completely with your assessment and appreciate your effort to play and comment. Some of the physics and AI can get super unfair, but, I hope to iron things out over time.
