My only complaint is that it did make me very slightly motion sick playing for a long time. Lots of camera zooms in and out at high speed. This was only after a long run, but ya, it can be a bit much.
\nStill, really love the game, going to go play it some more.

I will investigate if there are some things I can do to improve the camera motion to maybe help alleviate that.

The colors are nice, and has a lot of variations. Intro music and sounds effects works well too. The unlockables keep me hooked to try new skins, a great game overall!

\nThe fact that terrain is procedurally generated impress me a lot.

Can you explain any better what problems you had? Maybe there is a way I can improve it.

\nThe sound effects are very well implemented and the graphics look beautiful, though maybe a bit too close to the original
\nOn mobile, my thumb was covering the timer. So putting it in the top left corner might work better.
\nStill a very good entry with great gameplay.

I tried to change up the graphics, and improve over Tiny Wings like adding multiple parallax background layers instead of just 1 static background. Also if you get to the final level the ground actually moves around below you and it’s a cool effect not in any other similar games I’ve seen.
\nI’m not sure the top left is a good place for the timer. It is better to keep that area clear because that is where the player is when they jump. In Tiny Wings there is no visible timer. Adding a timer was one simple way I tried to improve the formula because from my research it was one of the most requested features.

\nBeing able to unlock other cats is a nice touch. Some of them even have their own meows. I got my pink cat, and all is good in the world.
\nIn stage 11, did I see a red and black swirling pizza-sized object, or was I hallucinating?
\nI also felt a little motion sick playing it at first, haha, but I got used to it. Maybe the camera zooms + parallax effect? Not sure
\nIn any case, great game!!

As I work on the enhanced version I noticed a few things with the camera I was able to tweak that help a lot.
\nStage 11 does have evil pizzas that slow you down, don’t eat them!

Works great on mobile - controls are smooth and accurate. On desktop, though, I had trouble getting the cat to hit the boost pads - maybe a framerate issue? Loved the menu music, but wished there was also music in-game. Otherwise, very polished and well-made!

\nVery well implemented game, i like the smooth graphics, and the cat ist very cute :-)
\nGameplay ist flawless too… So, enough talking. I’ll go back to the game and let the kitty fly again…

Controls felt smooth (especially on mobile), and unlocking new cats kept me chasing faster runs. After long sessions the camera zooms can get a bit intense, but I’m jumping right back in!

I feel like i’m playing old Sonic games where the game sometimes looks like it’s just playing by itself. The game is technically very impressive as always – amazing graphics with complex and diverse designs, and nice SFX. Really missing some background music to make it perfect.\nThe controls are simple, snappy, on both desktop and mobile. It’s a great little game on mobile actually. It’s a bit hard to nail the slopes, but maybe that’s a skill issue.

The goal is to get to the end of island 13, and as a side goal to collect flowers to buy more cats. There is also an extra challenge of beating all 13 islands in one go and getting a best time. The checkpoint timer is the minimum time you have to finish each island.

Parallax backgrounds, different characters, animation, audio effects, separate game modes all look great and I’m sure it was no easy feat to get this all into 13KB.
\nUltimately I found the gameplay too simple though, I feel like the single button input doesn’t give me much control over the game and I’m just watching it play out by itself much of the time.
\nI don’t know how the decentralized feature works so I didn’t get to try that but a really solid entry overall!

\nMy goal was to make the gameplay simple but still require quite a bit of control to win and even more to get a high time. However I did make it easier then the games it was inspired by because I was never able to beat those games.
\nThere is no decentralized feature in the code. Instead of adding something to my game which no one actually would use, I just devoted a place in my game description for a call to action to donate crypto to help homeless pets.

\nThe cat sound was quite funny
\nHow could I spend the “coins” I had collected, were they to upgrade the cat or was it related to the crypto - I wasn’t sure
