Some of the collisions seemed too greedy, and i'd sometimes appear to die even though the dash particles were visible. But being able to dash backwards and get a small amount of ground back is something I've never seen an infinite runner do before, kudos for that!

After few minutes of playing my high score is 6458, pretty hard game, but in a good way - I liked it. The idea is simple yet engaging and even a little bit addictive. I had fun :) The controls were laggy at some moments (I swear I released "D" key before the enemy, yet still I died instead of charging into it), but it may be due to web export stuff. And it made it even more fun in fact :D

Cool platformer! The part you have to go back and jump its a little bit unforgiving

Pretty decent gimmick for a simple game!  More importantly nice to see a fellow hamster game!

I like the idea, dashing backwards is a nice addition, however with the time it takes to charge up most of the time you dont have enough time to dash before you fall and die.

The dash backwards in an interesting mechanic! Kind of hard. I'm not personally that into infinite scrollers, but seems like a good one!

Fun game, I like the bit where you have to dash backwards. My high score is 17738.

My best was 11215. The strategy that worked for me was to always have a left dash loaded up, so even if I needed to dash forward I'd just dash back, charge forward, rinse and repeat. I liked the particle effects and hit stop effect.
