Design Statement
While listening to the theme, I can only think of the moment when I was walking in the rain and listening to music at the same time. Eventhough the weather sucked, the music kept me going. So I made a short game about that.
Game Instructions (launch steps, controls, and gameplay overview)
You can click on "Tutorial" option on the menu screen to check the control, click or move to "Start Game" option to start the game.
The game is simple: move forward/backward with D/A, jump with Space and dodge with Q.
You need to reach the end on time. On the way, you need to jump over the puddles and dodge the lightning.

I loved this. It fit the music better than any game I've plays thus far. Also, cheers for not using AI! Even with a simple game, the emotion and soul really come through. Bravo!
I just hate it when puddles stab me in the foot. most realistic game of 2026
jokes aside, keep working on games, even a little game like this will always be better then the largest AI slop game
Thank you for playing it :D Great joke btw :) My first idea was that the rain would actually deal damage to you :))
I liked the water trip & dodge lightning effects! Keep it up, good effort :)
Thank you :) I want to make the animations smoother in the future
Core loop is nice, think you could build + polish on top a bit more. The premise isn't bad either, but I'm not sure if this particular music track fit the "vibe" of the game so to speak (I was kinda imagining a retro track over it lol).
Ah ha. I will polish it. Thank you for playing it :D
I think the game could definitely use some sound effects! It's a fun little platformer but I think rain sounds and the crackle of thunder would really help set the mood. You'd have to be pretty unlucky to get struck by lightning this many times on your way home lol
True, I will add the thunder sound effect when ever the light ning strike and the rain sound throughout the whole section
Its a cute concept, reminds me a lot bit trip runner. Definitely a bit basic.

Good game but a bit basic. Just one funny little detail that kept distracting me: the rain direction seems to be going the wrong way lol. Other than that, lovely work on the submission!
Haha yes, I realized it after submitting too. Thank you for playing it
An ambiguous game. It lacks more interaction and any sort of interesting event.
Thank you for the comment. I agree that it lacks a some sort of major event or something to better to kick off the timing section.
