Congrats on first game jam!  Cool game.  Played for a little while.

Submitted

I like this idea! I would also echo the sentiment of putting the high score on the "You Lose" screen.

Submitted

very fun
(please also play my game >.<)

Submitted

Interesting take on the theme. Took us a while to get the hang of the dash mechanic. Good work! :)

Submitted

Nice and Simple gameplay, I think the music is also really fitting.

Submitted

Simple premise with straightforward gameplay.

Very cool although it gets repitive after a while.

Submitted

This was my first game jam too! Crazy what we can do in such a short time frame. This was a really cool concept and I love the cloud font :)

Submitted

Nice work completing your first game jam! My suggestion for you would be to have music that isn’t so high pitched and loud. Honestly, the only reason I didn’t keep playing more is because the music was a bit grating. Maybe a volume knob would help with that.

Well done on your first game jam! Your game has quite an enjoyable gameplay loop but it does get a tad repetitive after a while. I'd love to see the introduction of obstacles or maybe a speed up as your distance progresses to keep things dynamic. However, we only had 4 days and you've done really well to get this out in that time :)

Edit: I return to say that this music is stuck in my head XD

Submitted

it was fun but it felt a little too easy, i couldnt tell if missing the clocks were hurting me somehow

Submitted

A fun arcade style game, I love the title and it's almost addictive once I figured out what to do.

I wish it would say the final score on the lose screen or make it clearer you go up while dashing, but considering the timeframe and that you did it mostly by yourself is impressive! 

Submitted

A fun, quick little game! Got me addicted to getting the highest score I could. Until I got to the point where I realised there was no end XD. Would have loved it if the visuals showed that you went up, felt like I was falling down the whole time. Congratulations on the game! 

Submitted

Fun cute little arcade game! I did find it a little weird how our altitude goes up but we just fall down, also I found a bug where after I collect the clock, if I go away a little bit and come back to where the clock was it would still act like the clock was there. But still a pretty fun submission! :D

Submitted

A fun little arcade style game, though I wish there was a final score counter at the you lose screen unless I missed it, still good fun!

Submitted

Beat lowkey went hard. I had fun good work man

Submitted

Nice concept, took a sec to understand, but afterwards it was addicting
You should make the cloud texture scroll slower or make it reverse so it's more visible that you are going up
The whole time it felt like I was only going down 

Submitted

Should've allowed for more than 10 combos, I was straight up cloudescenting. :O

Developer

with how quickly the altitude bonus goes up, a combo of even 15 or 20 gives you several hundred or even a thousand altitude per coin :p

Submitted

I really like the art, I think the clocks could've been air gusts or something to fit more thematically, it would be super cool actually shooting back up too. 

Submitted

Nice effort on your first game jam! The fact that you did most of the assets yourself is quite an achievement in the time window. I like the dash mechanic but I think unless there was something later on I was missing, I'd probably never die in this game haha. Great job!

Submitted

Great work man..quite fun and addicting..Retro feel in the game is really good choice,,it really adds up to the vibe of the game..nice art..
