Super fun and the art is stellar. Can get a bit dizzying once you really get going.

I'm a sucker for endless runners! Those quicktime events are really awesome and make the game very fun to play. Lovely graphics also!

The artwork in the game is absolutely fantastic! Tight controls, frenetic action and really fun, although speed might be a bit too high in our opinion and the fast scrolling makes us a bit dizzy when playing long runs. Fullscreen mode would be awesome, as well as a mobile version. Great job on this entry, congratulations!!!

A fun variant on the endless runner concept, with some charming art.

I especially like the two-button QTEs to escape from the various traps you might run into. I haven't seen that done in quite the same way before.

My one critique is that to stay ahead of the guardian, you have to run so fast that the great artwork blurs into a dizzying mess. I wanted to play more, but my eyes hurt too much so I had to stop!

Oh boy this one is hard. Every time I try to evade one plant I bump int another. The music could be a little bit upbeat/hectic to support the gameplay more. I'm running for my life afterall.
But the graphics and animations are nice.

Nice! Fun to play. I think the game suffers somewhat from the two-button limitation. Separate buttons for jumping and changing lanes up would make it much more intuitive to play.

Really nice execution, too bad its not 60 FPS (trollololo) the scrolling induce dizziness. Well done pals !

This is a really great frantic game. I especially love the frantic escapes you need to be done if caught by a trap.

I do have one suggestion. Given how fast this game runs, some of the moves are a little inconsistent which tripped me up. Specifically, moving up if a double tap up, while down is a single quick tap. This caused me to jump too far down some times, or not actually jump up to the next level. I often tripped up because of this, and didn't get more than 850m in a run. Despite that, this is a beautiful, great game.

Great endless runner, I like how you are able to move between floors with the possibility of going through different paths. Animations were really good too!

I found the refresh rate and object speed made it difficult to see incoming objects. Loving the visuals though!

Damn that game is fast! And it's a very nice touch that you can be trapped inside some things but can free yourself again. Really great game! And beautiful graphics!

Nicely done! As someone who's tried to make a speedy autorunner in flash before I know how difficult that can be. Way to make it happen in such a short time limit. The controls were good, but a little difficult and the enemies could have been a little more spread out, but I really thought this was a very solid entry and made great use of both themes! Thanks for sharing and congrats on finishing!

Really fun! I got a little jumpy with the controls, which made double jumping tough, but I thought the concept of an endless runner with multiple vertical rooms was awesome, if not a little overwhelming :D Great work!

sooo hard :3, partly because it's hard to see obstacles with speed and pixel art
but great job overall !

Seems a bit hard to me, that ancient temple guardian sure is quick on those tentacles. Looks very nice and the helpful hints/indicators on which keys to use were much appreciated. Unfortunately, the screen scroll/movement makes it a little hard to focus at times. Dizzying is one word for it.

Otherwise, excellent work. I think it would make a better 4 button game (UP, DOWN, -LEFT-, -RIGHT-) since the time it took me to realize the keys I need to break free of traps on the first couple runs allowed the guardian to catch up pretty easily.

Really cool graphics! There's a bit of a problem with sliding vs dropping down a layer but still cool.

Great job :) Very well-polished and complete. The colour-contrast especially really helps pick things out of the background.
