Mad on a motobike by Sigo

You're alone on the road.
You need to get back to your house.
There is a lot of rocks on your way back.
It's strange.
You need to get back to your house.
You're not alone on the road.

The lose condition is spooky, and works very well for an infinite runner. The gameplay is a bit simple but most importantly it _works and is complete_ which is hard to pull off in such a short jam and still have time for visual polish, so nice work!
I think a sense of momentum and maybe sprites for leaning into turns on the bike would help ground it better, but it was still great fun to race down the road1!
The mechanics are quite simple, but there is no feeling that someone is chasing and there is no alarm, which you most likely wanted to portray here. Good job, though! Keep it up!
I found that you could avoid most of the rocks by riding at the bottom of the road. I stopped playing at around 7km and sacrificed myself to the monsters, I wasn't sure if there was any more to see after that?
I also dunno if it was a bug but i was always alone on the road except for the rocks...
Overall a good game, good job guys.
I think maybe the rock spam can be improved, I'm around 6000m with no incident by hanging at the top.
Still, loved the ambience and feel of the bike.
Effectively, hanging at the top (or bottom) of the screen wasn't planned and we will make sure to release one last patch that will fix as much bugs as we can, while trying to smooth the experience.
Nice graphics, great atmosphere, nice music, good controls.
Only thing missing is a challenge - rocks only slowing me down I reached 4k with zero effort and only stopped playing because nothing new happened. With adding something that will catch up to you if you are not making progress fast enough you could add a sense of urgency and make it even scarier? :)
All in all, great job for a jam!
@marc-grabow So, the thing is: there is something catching up to you as time goes by when your speed gets slower or you hit rocks but with the time constrain, we didn't have time to balance it so if you have a good run for a while, it takes a long time for the entity to catch up with you. But you will eventually see it. This will definitely need some more balancing work :smile: ...maybe for a finale post-jam update...?
