This is a neat idea for a game. The theme is silly, and it works well. Having the runner be slightly difficult to control when moving quickly is good too, since that makes things a little more dangerous. Especially when combined with the most-but-not-quite stationary guards. I like the art style as well - it all holds together quite nicely.
As for interesting features to add to the game, I think you could build a little more around the central mechanic. Right now it's just avoiding guards and collecting points, but maybe you could also have the other streakers affect your score, or perhaps there could be stunts you can/should do to interact with the crowd. A high score table would also be a good feature, since it's all about the score attack.
Others have mentioned the lack of sound and music, and I think that's the big thing right now. Having some background noise, a cheering crowd etc. just by itself would go a long way towards making the stadion feel more alive.
thanks so much for your feedback! I'll incorporate audio soon!
It feels okay with some good things going for it but I was somewhat confused going into it for the first time as there were no tutorials.
How does it play?
A bit janky. It seems you're using some physics-based movement with a lot of sliding and players don't immediately stop. Though at the same time, it creates more interesting gameplay as controls is a bit difficult and not as one-to-one movement, creating exciting situations when the score things spawn near the policemen and having to navigate around them while avoiding being caught. You should experiment with this movement style a bit more by maybe having some parts of the ground slippery where you can't turn at all (slide all the way until you leave the slippery part)?
The perspective is a bit off and does not help with depth-perception much. There were also some bugs where parts of the ground extend into the left side of the screen.
There is a steady game loop going but I think to really seal the deal, you should have a highscore system as the game is essentially a score chaser game. A highscore system will finish the game core loop well as it incentivises players to beat their personal best.
Overall, not bad. There is definitely something going on here.
Thank you for the feedback Steventus! I will work on getting the guards to be more active as well as getting a high score system in place!
Funny game!
Was also a bit disapointed to have no audio, I think it would be much more fun with it :D Hope you will update it soon!
Controls working smoothly.
I have a wide screen and a bit of left and right borders of the game were off-screen, so I can not see them. Thats why sometimes guards have taken me, from there -> but I can not see them :(
Pixel Art is cute and well! Great job to the artist!
Generaly with some polishes (like audio, a bit of intro to the story, extra features (perhaps different type of guards, different type of runners, different levels, some power-ups to pick up)) this game has a great potential. Perhaps making it as an mobile game could be cool too!
Thanks for your game!
PS: Exit button in the game have not worked by me :D Have to Alt+F4 ;-D
Thank you for your feedback Azkabal! I will push forward to try and get a small intro story in place and fix that pesky closing game issue.
I didnt have any audio, but there was credit for audio so I guess it was bugged ?
Funny game, I liked the controls, it felts like a chaotic runner on a field. I wasnt sure what to do or what the objective of the game was, a bit of onboarding would've helped. I'm not sure what was the purpose of the other runners, they would not stop me or anything, they would fall and not get up. The death screen is pretty funny ^^
The audio still needs to be implemented but the files are there. The other runners are trying to steal your spotlight and you're supposed to knock them over and the guards are supposed to remove them from the field as well. I'll work on the AI a bit more. I'm enjoying this project. Thank you for your feedback!
