Solid work. The difficulty could be a bit higher, though. :)

Enjoyable, I got 321 meters. It could do with a quicker difficulty ramp, I was getting bored of the repetition by the time I finally died.

I guess it fits the theme but it's a bit of a stretch, the top part doesn't really feel like a world, since it's so random and there's no context...? Maybe I'm being picky.

We aren't really artists so it was hard to convey the idea better than this. ;)

In any case, I'll ramp up the difficulty a bit!

Sweet! I'd really love to see more of this kind of endless runner, maybe with more minigames or something. Solid work!
