In this game, you will be controlling a Mongolian messenger who started an endless journey across the empire. You can switch between lanes to avoid obstacles using up and down arrow keys. To shoot birds in the sky, you can press right arrow key. You can also jump to avoid ground obstacles by pressing spacebar. Your goal is to run as long as possible before losing all Gereges.

\nIf you want to improve they entry I would suggest adding goals or levels, run 50 metres, get a reward. Run 100 metres and so on.
\nThese games can be fun with some simple additions.

\nThe addition of day and night is great and the graphics of the messenger is lovely, too. Sometimes I just struggled with the collisions (sometimes I did hit the birds while jumping and sometimes not?)

The music is simple but effective.\nMaybe I can suggest you to add a simple progressive tutorial to help the player understand all the controls (up and down are obvious, but if you don’t read the instructions, space and right array are not so obvious).

Gave me Pitfall and Excitebike vibes. My main feedback is that the hit boxes weren’t clear, nor was getting hit.
\nGood looking game with a classic Atari aesthetic! Nice work.

\nNice very retro vibes.
\nIt’s near impossible to try to judge hitboxes and especially the lanes the birds are on. Actually it’s quite a common problem to make flying things position judgeable on an isometric(ish) view. Adding a shadow for them (on the correct) lane would help a lot.
\nThe collision hitbox should be way smaller. It’s just too strict, unfair even. Quite often I had no clue what I hit even.
\nThe best strategy really seems to be to just stay on the top lane. Obviously just jump the hurdles and just focus on the top most/smalles birds and shoot them when possible. But after around 3000 points it gets too fast and the arrow doesn’t have enough time to fly and hit a bird at all so it becomes all about jumping the fences. And seems like the hitbox somehow gets less strict at faster speed. But yeah then it just comes down to testing your reaction speed and hoping for a unwinnable fence+bird combo.
\nGood job! 👍

\nThe gameplay is a little confusing at first. There’s so many birds, it’s hard to understand on which lane they are.

\nIt’s harder than it looks, felt like a classic NES game, could do with more variety and levels.

\nGood Job!

It raises a number of interesting questions: Are there seagulls in the desert? Was it common for mongolian messengers to do hurdle jumping? Did the monogols ever visit the pyramids in Giza?

\nI like the avoid obstacles over multiple tracks kinda games, it was nice to have the extra elements of jumping and shooting.
\nThe graphics were fun, I loved the seagulls.
