Lol Sonic 2 inspired? Pretty fun though.

This was so cool, reminded me a lot of Skyroads. You know, this could make a great mobile game. :)

Great game! I wish there was some kind of title screen that the game returned to though.

Cool. It looks like you used a custom software renderer, I like to see things like that. Looks like demoscene graphics. Anyway, I was confused by the noise blocks, I thought they caused damage. I think I got 39 points once I started collecting them.

This game is quite fun, and the mechanics work very nicely! I find the graphics to be pretty unpleasant, though. And I wish that 1) you could restart after you die without quitting the game and 2) there were some checkpoints so I don't have to start from the beginning every time.

Super Fun. Reminds me a bit of marble madness aesthetically. I wish it ramped up in difficulty a little sooner. I almost quit right before it got really interesting. I would have missed out.

Reminded me of virtual bart. Was surprised the game closes itself on death. Not sure how to get past the larger gap.

That was really good! I really like the "pixelized 3d" style. Reminds me of the special stages from Sonic 2. were those an inspiration?

I like the vintage 3d and it's always exciting to defy the gravity. nicely done

The screenshot looks like it's stretching away when I stare at it. Weird...

I really enjoyed this game. It's neat to see a retro 3D style and I really liked it here. The mechanics are solid and it's fun, though sometimes the time between things happening is a bit too long.

At first, I thought that this was going to be a musical game, since those first noise patches sounded like some kind of beat coming on. I wish that this had a musical element, with a nice chiptune that you could add a layer to by rolling back and forth. Kind of like guitar hero if it were a ball in a tube rather than buttons on a road.

Overall, very impressive! Good work!

Sounds like a good idea. A musical version.

Pretty cool style. Kinda feels like a rhythm game.

Love the graphics on this, very sonic 2 meets skyroads. Could use a bit more speed, and game should not exit on loss.

Cool, i like the controls, really reminds of Sonic bonus levels. And i like how the game exits when you die.
