SkyRunner by JoiSigurdss

made by JoiSigurdss for LD 41 (COMPO)

SkyRunner is a first person endless platform runner, portrayed as if it's an animated gif.

Instructions: - WS to move - Mouse to look (pitch only) - Space or LMB to jump - R to reset to last checkpoint - L to reload the game

Originally I thought this mash of genres was incompatible, but it turns out it fits all right together.

Lessons learned: - Procedural platform generation - Unity's Post processing stack 2 - Ultimate FPS system's drawbacks and strengths - How much programming I am able to do on my own!

Thanks to @torfias & @joonturbo for help!

Graphics, mood and gameplay were great! I thought however that the genres were pretty compatible tbh. Loved the simplicity of the game, I found myself playing for minutes on end without even realizing.
I should add, I'm a huge fan of jumping overall.

I love the visuals of this game, so mesmerizing and straight-up pretty. The game loop is nicely addictive as well, almost dream-like with the environment. Some chilled out space or ambient music could help push it that direction if you wanted to. Overall a very cool experience.

Awesome mood and graphics! Gameplay feels good also.
The genres aren't incompatible at all and some difficulty progression would be nice.
Cool experience!
