Super Chrono Runner by Vovin
Super Chrono Runner is a simple but fun platformer, in which the player has to avoid aging in order to progress through the levels. Luckily, the resident Evil Megacorp that cursed our main character to his rapid aging process also provides a rejuvenating serum, available at practically every vending machine. But beware, for the path is strewn with laser barriers, killbots and even incinerators lacking proper public works safety regulation.

I got to level 7 and then it got a bit too punishing for me with the clock placement - not to say that's a bad thing, but I just wasn't good enough to get further.
SFX were solid, music was catchy, and the game was fun, if not a bit unfair at times. Some of the lazers seemed to be on randomized timers so I couldn't predict when to go, and they'd turn on right after they turned off. Or maybe I'm just bad.
Overall though, a solid entry with some real work put into it as far as design, level layout and balancing goes!
So overall cool game, and keep coding !
Only real issues / suggestions for next time:
- Remember to set a death height/zone. If you fall down a pit you have to quit the game.
- Unreal allows you to disable a lot of the modules, which makes your baked game smaller. Your download is kind of massive for what it is.
Hope you come back next time!
And the food steps sounds are too quiet. Fitted the theme well with the clocks and also looked solid.
Go check our game ! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/the-darkest-light
I have one complaint... can you make the laser "thingies" more visible? :P
