Hyperloop by Game_Coder28
Hyperloop is an infinite runner strategy game. Weave through the obstacles while the loop gradually speeds up. Try to survive for as long as you can and post your highest time in the comments!
Controls
A or Left Arrow - Move left
D or Right Arrow - Move right
Tap the movement keys to switch lane, holding down will not let the player glide.
Difficulty
In the main menu press the [1] or [2] button on the keyboard to swap the difficulty.
[1] = Easy: Bigger gaps between the obstacles
[2] = Harder: Smaller gaps between the obstacles
Known Bugs
A massive black square engulfs the game. This is a Unity rendering error and I have no fix for it at the moment, just try to die and get back to the main menu, this will reload the scene and will temporarily fix the problem. This bug is rare and has only happened to me twice.

However, reming me audiosurf in the game play, and oh lord did i loose time on audiosurf back in the day. Graphism are great, could litterally spend time on this if there was more track, because the audio is so good.
You did great !
This is the only game I have seen so far that I actually find addicting
really cool smooth and polished.
Great Graohics audio and gameplay!
Score is from hard mode. Died in second slalom
If I had to I'd say the biggest problem I had was that for a rythm game, I didn't feel the beats lining up with the blocking sections you have to cross. Still, probably the coolest feeling game I played this LD.
This was on difficult - I think I managed about 140s on easy, but the faster speed was way more fun.
the music is PERFECT the genre :)
Movement could be a little faster (reactive), or a difficulty 3 at higher speed ?
5/5 for a compo :)
I loved the thing about the text warning you whats next, felt really good, and created anticipation, especially the first time I saw 'Slalom'.
Pat on the back from here - Great job, and thanks a lot for sharing :-)
You really could make a full game with this concept.
This is the best compo game during this event I've seen so far. Good job!
INSANE! SLALOM level part are great! two slaloms = even greater. My favorite game atm
This is awesome! A very fleshed out and polished experience. The art style may be reduced but it's executed to perfection. Visually pleasing. The soundtrack is pumping and fits the context of the game well. Controls are responsive and dashing through the loop is very satisfying, especially at 144fps.
Easy mode got boring rather fast, so I switched to hard mode. That's how it's meant to be played!
I little more variation in obstacles would've been awesome. Maybe jumping over or ducking under stuff could mix the game play up a little. Congrats nonetheless. Very good entry!
verry cool game
i really enjoyed playing
i suggest you make this for android and you will have big revenue
I think hard mode even more fun than easy. But the thing that annoyed is delay on switching between tracks.. Dunno if this problem only for me.
The graphics are very simple, yet every aspect of it is really working ! The mood made by the music and the difficulty of hard mode is really endearing, congrats !
An idea to improve it even further would be implementing some kind of leaderboard.
There are even some easy tools to do an online leaderboard with Unity like [this one](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/network/dreamlo-com-free-instant-leaderboards-and-promocode-system-3862) (I used it once and thought it was pretty neat :) )
It was a very good entry overall in my opinion ^^
Here is my attempt:

I would add the ability to hold the button instead of repeatedly pressing it, it was really hard to make the super sharp turns.
I didn't encounter any black square so yay, great game! :D
Could use more music (maybe a little less dark, too, but hourses for courses, I guess)
Awesome job for compo! Definitely would like to see more of it
Loved the whole mood of the game. It would be extra cool if the music was in sync with the track (kind of like audiosurf), but the soundtrack is great, so it's OK :)

Here's my highscore on easy:
Gameplay-wise I think there's not too much to say. It's solid, works nice, the controls are tight. I think the game should have ramped up in difficulty as time went by (or if it did then I didn't notice) and even in hard mode I never felt like I was super challenged.
On the whole, really solid excellent little entry. Reminded me of a stripped down Thumper.

You're probably a big fan of Thumper because I find there the sensations and the atmosphere! It's catchy, the twisted road gives the feeling of being carried away in an infernal whirlwind.
However I don't feel like the patterns are on the rhythm (I'm not sure, maybe they are, maybe not, you don't mention it in the description so I guess it's not the intention) when maybe it could have added even more tension. But I guess you would have had to increase the speed of the music to keep up with the rhythm and maybe it wouldn't have been elegant... I don't know (maybe you tested it and it wasn't conclusive?).
Thank you for this short and intense experience! :D
Graphics, SFX and (especially) music are executed amazingly well. Everything about this game screams polished. I also don't think the graphics need to be more complex as that might be distracting.
Sadly, it didn't run too well on my machine. But that's my fault, really, for only having integrated Intel graphics.
I missed the relation to the theme a bit, maybe there would've been more opportunities to add it to the gameplay.
But I'm starting to nitpick. You did a great job with this! Amazing entry!
Love the simple 3d game graphics and music, and also fun too on repeated plays!
no wonder you have so many rates... I'm still stuck under 20 :cry:
Overall, Very good and has potencial
