can you master the singular cycler?

extend and bend your way through a maze of sorts on your rotating rubber

be the best you can be, but watch out - the more shaft you've got...the harder it's going to get...

Incredibly frustrating (in the most possible fun way) - this is like the QWOP of unicycling
I got to 108m and literally could do no better after an embarassing number of attempts...

Very fun take on the theme!

Great idea! definitely has a QWOP-like feel. I think I get how you're supposed to move forward, but it seemed a little sensitive to me. Couldn't really get going anywhere for very long.

Super hard! Great application of the theme. I got to 192m. Oh, and hi.

Neat game, but the controls seemed backwards to me... and I actually ride a unicycle! Here's a video I'm in:

Fun game! I love the unique spin on the QWOP style of being able to raise and lower the seat length.

Well done! My favorite part is that the pipe is not rigid it can be bended. It feels so good. When I finally reached "Now you get it"... I just smiled hhhhhhh

Great game! I love the graphics and it's really fun. It might be easier if the unicycle was a little further to the left so that you can see what is coming up

Super fun game! The controls contributes a lot to the game

Clever idea. The controls feel backwards to me. The graphics are nice simple and classy.

Very cool physics there. Good job!

Reminds me of Qwop. Although MUCH easier to pick up :) Great job!

Really hard and alot of fun, the changing heights was awsome

Simple and fun, a great submission :)

Getting QWOP flashbacks here...

The physics work well and I like that you added procedural terrain to make it less predictable, as well as the ability to lengthen or shorten the seat. A minor gripe is that the bar between the seat and the wheel doesn't have any collision with the terrain, so it just clips through.

I like it! It's a simple mechanic that is both intuitive and challenging. It was maybe annoying to have to redo the easy part after mastering it. I would get impatient and zoom along and then smack into the wall when it starts changing.

Very challenging game, as others have said it reminds me of qwop! Good job sir!

Clever concept and execution. Definite QWOP levels of difficulty, but great job!

Very fun and addictive :D Love its simplicity.

when i go fast it makes a valley i have to slow down to not crash into the ceiling, then it makes a hill so i have to go fast to do it,but since i had to slow down i can't have enough momentum to do it. this fact makes it unfair

@woah there are ways to go up a big hill starting from 0 velocity but it is tough. also speed has no impact on the terrain generation. it is not super balanced though you are correct. thanks for playing it!
