Hard but fair! A kind of QWOP game experience feeling but with different actions & physics!

Submitted

This was promising and the aesthetics were great i just think the balancing mechanics need a little bit of work. 

Submitted

The game is pretty and the idea is fun. I did a score of 200. Maybe the rider fall a little to fast, sometimes I fall without being able to find again the good balance.

Submitted

Really fun and great looking game but super difficult!

Submitted

Quit a nice work for 48h, but I'm sad that there is no sound, would you like to play my game so I can get feedbacks please!

Submitted

Nice idea and art! Fell like those old flash games, but with better graphics.

Submitted

Cool game, it’s a great challenge. Such a unique idea as always

At the start I thought the balancing should be in opposite direction. I thought that, for example if the biker was falling left, you turn left as well to counter the fall using centrifugal force. And rotating to left helps turning left as well.

But then when I imagine that the player is not biker, but someting like plate on a stick it all maked sence (also because it is easier for people to understand what it would be like balancing plate on a stick, than understand what it would be like beeing a bike:)

After my change of thinking about the movement the game was fun, challenging but fair. So good job.

The minimalistic style also looked good.

Nice idea, but really hard to finish! I managed the score around 300 and can't get past it :) cool game though!

Submitted

Did 463! Fun and soothing!

Maybe I should try downloading it because it lags super hard after a certain point, (around 200 score). When I understood that it's the upper body of the cyclist you're supposed to balance it became way easier, got 255 but think I could complete it if it didn't lag out on browser. Good job!

*Edit 464, damn the path becomes really narrow🤣

Really cool idea and take on the theme. I am in love with the visuals and wish I was better at the game so I could get closer to the sun. It feels like the right level of frustrating to keep me coming back until I beat it. Well done, great game!

Submitted

It's really engaging, i like mechanics, i played really  a lot. Super cool

Interesting idea. I liked it. The visuals look good

Submitted

Looks great and the presentations is 6 out of 5, if not more, but it is just to difficult, for me atleast. :)

Submitted

great visuals but very hard. I won't manage to get till the end :D

But all in all good work

Submitted

Cool idea and looks really nice! It's hard to keep balancing and not crash, but you made it still feel fair. So, good job! The left/right controls are a bit too sensitive for me. Looking forward to the video :)

Submitted

nice aesthetic, reminds me of QWOP because of how hard it is

Submitted

it is pretty good but it is too hard like when I move the mouse to the left goes to the right but it is so hard make it balance make it a little easy
