Got that 2000's feeling, good experiment and the sound department is simply crazy!

Submitted

I like memory runners, so this was right up my street! Nice job!

Submitted

Love the sound effects

Submitted

It's interesting but I feel as if the game relies more on memorization rather than reaction time. Still congratulation on finishing a gem for the jam.

Submitted

I found it to be pretty hard since its difficult to see what is ahead of me, but nonetheless it is still very fun and the death sound effect is awesome. Nice job!

Fun idea for a speedrun! Especially if you give multiple paths to find the fastest strategy, which is also good for casual players (not dying over and over at the same spring)

It was more of a memory game, though, and I would've preferred if the cheese was on the left of the screen to show more of the obstacles.

That said, congrats on the submission! :)

Thanks! 

"I would've preferred if the cheese was on the left of the screen to show more of the obstacles" 

Yeah that's a good suggestion. Someone else also suggested that in comments. I think it's a great idea.

I like how the map wobbles as you go down the hill a little bit, so you get a really strong sense of speed! Fun idea! Maybe the wilhelm scream gets a tiny bit repetive if you fail a lot in a short period of time, like me XD, but that's really minor issue. Well done, the puzzles / level design is very good!!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! :D 

I can see how it can get repetitive if you keep dying really fast haha! Good feedback.

Glad you enjoyed the level designs!

Creative fun idea!

Developer

Thanks so much! :D

Great game! I had a lot of fun and it gave me the nostalgia that comes from playing geometry dash, where you remember what happens later in the level and you act accordingly -- and it takes quite a few tries for each level. Great Job!!!!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it so much! Yeah you really have to use your memory to get passed the obstacles.

Very fun! Love the sounds effects and music choice.

Developer

Thanks! Firoty made the music with his dad!

That's really neat! A lot of discovery required for interactions.

Developer

Thanks!!

Nice work! I found it a bit hard to intuit what sizes the cheese wheel needed to be to bypass each obstacle, I think just having a little more time (via the camera being further to the right) or a slower max speed would definitely give the player just a bit more time to react/think. Otherwise I liked it! nice fast pace and a unique concept for a runner. Funny choice with the Wilhelm scream lmao

Developer(+1)

It being funny is why I chose the Wilhelm scream

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the suggestions. And yeah, that scream is pretty hilarious! :D

Fun and challenging puzzle game!

Developer

Thanks!

Cool but, like we all say, level 2...

Developer

2 is one of the easier ones

Developer

Thanks for playing!

And yeah that seems to be the theme.  😭

Submitted(+1)

Level 2 is hardd! I LOVE the sound effects though, very satisfying and great background music. I like how some of the level 2 puzzles have multiple solutions depending on what size you are when you get into the puzzles.

Developer

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Developer

Did you end up beating it

Submitted(+1)

Level 2 is SO hard, damn!! Rapidly mashing the button to quickly make the cheese small enough for the 2nd springs was fun, though.

One point of feedback: you'd give a much better overview of the level if you put the camera a bit ahead of the cheese, instead of exactly on top of it. Whatever is behind the cheese is not relevant, anyway :)

Developer

Glad you had fun playing it! :) 

Great suggestion about the camera!

Developer

Have you gotten to level 4?

Submitted

Nope, tried a lot of times but didn't get past lvl 2 :P
