Did your team create most/all of the graphics yourselves?
No

Did your team create most of/all the audio yourselves?
No

How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
Well, a monkey chasing down a banana is a pretty unstable situation. From the gameplay perspective, you need to pick up boosts to get further away from the monkey, but the boosts make it more challenging to react to obstacles coming your way. So there is instability in the tradeoff.

Love the art and the use of the assets, Crash Bandicoot is one of my favorite game sof all time, it's well polished! I was expecting to see maybe some additions to the gameplay, but I will always play something that reminds me of Crash!

the whole thing feels like some weird old flash game, which honestly fits it

the boosts are probably what make it interesting since getting faster also makes it easier to screw yourself over

Haven't played crash banooka in a long time but this definitely had the spirit of it. Only thing I could say was keyboard controls felt weird to me for this type of game, i'd expect gamepad for 3D platforming. The main gameplay loop worked well enough except some obstacles were a bit punishing and almost impossible to complete. Fun entry!

The game's style is interesting—it felt like I was playing a pirated version of Donkey Kong. I don't mean that in a bad way; I really liked the visual style. I've rated it. Good job. I look forward to you playing my game, too :)

It's simple, fun, and really polished. I like the colorful cartoonish graphics and animations. I kept trying and got 246 with the name "[    ]". I wonder if the leaderboard is self-hosted or uses a third-party server? I always wished to add an online leaderboard too.

Developer

Thanks and congrats on getting top score!  I'm using LootLocker for leaderboard functionality

its very weird having the banana (you) run twards you, but its cool. I wish i could play it without entering a name, and there was a narrow path that was entirely blocked by the electric thing which made it impossible to pass

Developer

Thanks. You need to jump over blue electricity and slide under orange electricity (the position of the tiny floating banana is meant to be an indicator for that. It also gives you points).
