Don’t be the 13th guy
\n…in checkpoints
\n…when falling down
\n…when finishing the round
And don’t be one of the last 13th guys of the round. Only one can survive!
\nUse arrow keys or WASD to race.

\nMy only wish is that you could start over the same level if you get eliminated. But maybe I’m just not a strong enough gamer!

Yeah, I understand that starting from the very beginning can be quite harsh :) We were in quite a hurry to get the game balanced so perhaps that is something we could have considered more.

\nIt reminded me of the TV series “The Squid Game”. Very innovative! Nice, even fun graphics, good music too, but I’d like to be able to turn it on/off.
\nAlso, I don’t have time to finish reading the control instructions before starting the first time, maybe it would be better to give the player the opportunity to move further by pressing a key, for example. It was also a bit boring to start from the beginning if you lost in later levels. I would really like to be able to continue from the current level, for example, if I lost on the 2nd level - restart from the 2nd level, on the 3rd - from the 3rd. Since the AI knows the map and I don’t, it will probably take a few tries to win, and starting from start every time is a bit frustrating.
\nWhen I was pushed for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised, but when I realized that I could also push, well, revenge was sweet :D. It was also interesting to keep a distance from the AI. Nice balance!
\nIt was also interesting not always to go first, when you clearly don’t have time, it’s better to come last, but alive :).
\nIt’s a very very nice game though, congrats! I had fun!

The game’s a lot of fun, the music feel great, and in particular, I’m impressed by how real the NPCs feel. I had to double check that there was no Server category this year, and that this is indeed a single player game :)
\nI was having a little bit of trouble making out the topology of the course. Perhaps some 2.5D or an isometric view would have helped, but it’s a minor complaint. Great job overall!
\nThe concept fits the theme very well, too. I really didn’t want to finish 13th and I felt the pressure when other beans chose a better path that I did.

\nFall Guys in 2D and triskaidekaphobia style!
\nWhat I liked:
\nYou cannot see too far ahead of you. That adds to the suspense to which path should be taken.
\nSoundtrack was a nice touch.
\nSimple instructions.
\nI liked that you can push other players off.
\nWhat can be improved:
\nThe movement mechanics feels too smooth. Just a preference.
\nAdding a bit more sound effects would ehnance player experience.

The way you can bump into others (or them into you!) and make them fall, was hilarious. Very squid-gamey. The character design is very goofy, but it works. The music is great.
