Dang, the music actually creeped me out, nice job setting the atmosphere! The basketball-sounding sound was a bit distracting though, and the physics could use some work.

The sprites and gameplay give me a real Castlevania/Canabalt vibe and I love it. I'd get stuck with 0 forward momentum at some parts though, just waiting to die. Cool little arcade-y concept though!

My favorite kind of pixel art! Fast-paced platformer makes me feel really nervous. Well done!~🧟‍♂️

I think this is really good actually. It looks nice, sounds good and has super simple mechanics that you understand immediately.

Nice graphics and audio, only issue I had was with the jumping, seems to not work sometimes. Otherwise, great work.

Add more features and it's a very good endless runner :D Kudos!

great endless runner. I love the color change to indicate that the floor is going to fall, and it's hilarious when I slow down from a crate and a red guy just jumps me at lightning speed haha. Awesome job!

Wow pretty funny game, the music, and sound made me feel like I'm in a Rave party! :smiley:
I liked most the graphics and the idea of fleeing from the cultists.
I think some fighting back would be nice, but I understand that the guy just wanted to get as far as possible from those cultists! Nice game!

@fernando-tonon-de-rossi Thanks! And yeah I wanted a way of fighting back as well, set up keybindings for an attack, but wound up cutting it for the sake of time.

Nice Game!
I unfortunately got softlocked when an enemy threw a rock at me and then I landed in front of it and on top of it at the same time. It was blocking me from moving forward and I couldn't jump, and nothing else came to kill me so I was stuck.
But was still a fun infinite runner! I really like the art style!

the atmosphere is great! i feel like you run abit to fast, you cant see what you are supposed to avoid

The game is so fast it really feels like you're in a rush. It's quite hard because of that, especially those guys that stand still and throw stones at you are hard to avoid. The graphics & music work well together to create a creepy mood.

I didn't go far but sure enjoyed the game ! Nice graphics (I especially love the colours), good rythm and atmosphere. The physics were a bit harsh though and I think the cultist runners are a bit too fast, just a bit.
Congrats on the good job, had fun ! :)

Graphics are really good. Congrats!
Otherwise the game is not very original, it's an endless runner. BUT the atmosphere is really great.
Well done.

I love the music, it really gives the atmosphere. I think the game should start slower and get faster as the time passes though, it's difficult to track the movement since the beginning this way.

Well done :smile:

A bit rough. The overall idea is cool, but the game will surely benefit by having a slower start! Also those enemies who push you back really break the momentum, they are sooo hard to evade.

Found a bug where your character can get stuck at the start:
![thelamb_bug.gif](///raw/3b1/2/z/1d1e7.gif)

It happens if you jump as soon as the game starts, I think.

Other than that, the game is fun, has a nice atmosphere and graphics. I do wish the enemies didn't just appear so suddenly, it's hard to avoid them sometimes.

Neato. Who's placing all these crates in the wood though!

@deathbysnail Ahaha, yeah, it was originally going to be indoors but I was running out of steam when it came time for set-dressing and decided it would be easier to do it outdoors - the crates were already made and I didn't know what to turn them into. I guess stumps would have worked, but I'm just gonna say that this is a storage forest.

@sapphiris @daruudaruu Thanks for the feedback! A lot of people saying it's too fast to start, I'll definitely keep that in mind if this project goes any further.

This was enjoyable. The protagonist looks like Zapp Brannigan! Heads up, the moon parallaxing is the same speed even when the character is running slower or dead.

Nice work! It's looks like a bit hard but in the end u used to it and then feels more enjoyable. GB!

Overall its a nice little game. I would add a bit more feedback on incoming threats though.

Good game. I'm a sucker for endless runners. I like how the music builds too. I could play this for hours. Unfortunately there are more games to rate. I might come back to this one.

Good atmosphere! At first I was really confused because I launched in fullscreen, and it was running so slowly that the character was barely moving. Fixed after minimizing though. Fun little runner.
me fame u game

Good game, however a bit slower would be nice, so that you can actually react not and just jump and hope ... Also comming down from the jump faster would be nice aswell, or make it dynamic. Unfortunately I was not able to hear any music / sound, so the atmosphere was not there for me at all :/

High score 8988. I genuinely laughed out loud the first time I set off a trap and it inadvertently killed one of those rock throwing bastards!

Neat little game, but really needs tighter controls! (especially if the the only thing you can do is jump!)

The jumping seems a little unresponsive, it would often take a while for my character to actually jump. The music is very good and I like the background sprites although I was a little confused as to what was part of the background and what I was supposed to jump over
