Ranked from 29 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.
In what way does your game fit the theme?
The game it self is nothing but chaos! Asteroids, rockets flying everywhere while you try your best to save your wife.
Don't get me started on the spaghetti code behind it...
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes I wrote all the code and developed the whole game.
My partner did the art.

Good job completing the jam.
It's a bit hard to tell which objects have to be jumped over and which have to be smashed, but overall good work.
This is a pretty fun game. The gameplay is simple, but I like how there are different obstacles to avoid and the music fits the game well. But I did have problems with determining how to avoid certain obstacles, like the missile. I didn't know they could be smashed until I read the comments. But aside from that I still think this is a solid game. Good job!
Hey, well done for completing the jam. Have put up my rating. Simple but fun game loop. That first asteroid seems to kill me straight away around 90% of the time. :-)
I really agree with Tinqu. It's quite hard to tell should I jump or smash the obstacles. Maybe you could add a small instruction on the page.
It's cool to smash the missile tho! You could add a special effect for that :)
Nice game, but I had some trouble figuring out what to do with which obstacles. The astroids can be smashed but cars cannot. Torches seemed to kill me regardless of what I did.
Very fun idea, I liked the game, although it starts a little slow, it ramps up quite nicely and the gameplay although a little repetitive is very fun overall :D
I think the concept was hilarious and unique! Even though the gameplay is inherently repetitive, I really didn't mind since that's kinda the point of endless runners like Temple Run etc and I played those for hours. Super solid game overall.
side note: bopping music!
Nice game! The theme is nice and it definitely has the potential to be something more! I recommend you update it a bit.
Things I would recommend doing:
- I think the obstacles should appear a bit more frequently. In the beginning, it feels a bit too slow.
- The "Restart" button has to be pressed by using a mouse even though the gameplay requires you to have both hands on the keyboard. Would be nice to be able to press restart with space and/ or enter button.
- Next time try to make a WebGL build because people prefer to play those.
Overall I enjoyed this game!
I've played this game because I saw you were looking for few more reviews to get 20 (on the community page). Would be great If you could do the same to my game.
Thanks for the great feedback! We had a lot of issues with timing the obstacles. The got so packed together after a while that it was impossible to avoid them. But we'll try to make some fixes. The restar button needs that update, you're absolutely right! We tried the WebGL build but for some strange reason if we did that, the keyboard was not responding to the game.
We're planning to have some updates and bug fixes, thank you once again!
Fun game although after the first minute or so it becomes a bit repetitive. I suggest adding some form of a progression system, where as the level goes on you encounter more obstacles. I also was able to do it without ever needing to use the down function, so consider adding some obstacles that force the player to do that. Nice experience overall!
Had a bit of difficulty getting a proper run going but I just suck :c
Nice game! But i didn't like font of texts. Because it creates big mess. But your game is good! Well done!
It's nice :)
You should probably add a pause menu because as time passes, it's always harder to focus ! ;)
Otherwise it's fun and it sticks to the theme !
Thanks ;)
