ohhh this is awesome!! suuuper cool presentation, as to be expected from you haha.
What a neat control scheme, I haven't played any game like this before! I'm surprised you managed to make it feel this good to play with just one button, i can imagine this being much more annoying.
Unfortunately I couldn't beat the game due to (i assume) a bug :( The camera keeps gradually shifting to the left (maybe after each death), to the point where the player is completely off-screen and I'm just guessing where the obstacles are. Otherwise I'd love to 100% complete this!

In any case, this is super fun. nice stuff :)

super pretty game but I can't relate it to the theme, also if you hold the mouse button to to the flip it bugs sometimes

overall though i really like this. its got a charming asthetic and i like how simple the controls are. One thing I would experiment with is putting jump on mouse up instead of tap. That way i can jump right after I gain speed.

Not related to the theme in the slightest, otherwise 5/5. Graphics, audio, gameplay are super polished.

Fun and charming game! I like the that it is one button only but found it a bit tricky to get the timing of sprint + jump right. Can clearly see this as a mobile game!

Gfx style is gorgeous! I like it much. Overall the game looks very polished. Great take, guys!

Super nice graphics and small tidbits! I always appreciate an one button control-scheme, it's just a bit clunky when trying to speed up and jump since i have to be real fast on the clicking. All things considered, a pleasant experience :smiley:

This is so slick! Awesome game feel and presentation, weird but interesting and innovative control scheme. Audio is so cool and refreshing. The biggest flaw I think it's in the level design, probably some sort of level 2 should be level 1, because the first level has a lot of "moving" parts, I would love to have a save environment to understand better the controls scheme. In general, I think the shape of the levels is unfair because the biggest danger is at the end, and losing all that progress when about to win, except on level 4 and 5 where it makes much more sense. Apart from that, I had a blast playing this.

Amazing presentation. The gameplay was superfluid once getting used to the novel control scheme. Really cool game!

Woah! The visuals and juice are fantastic, and the bopping tune in the background is a real nice mood. I was terrible at playing for a long time but finally managed to get the grip of it for the final level - very satisfying to pull off some great tricks/jumps into the rings.

Amazing visuals, I loved the presentation. Gameplay was smooth and felt satisfying. Sound effects, absolutely loved them. The one downside was that for my slow brain, the levels went a bit too quick to find out/learn the path to get all the hoops/coins. All in all, great submission though! Thanks for entering!

Thanks for participating in the jam!

I enjoyed the game. I did keep getting into situations where I would hit a bumper (which apparently rockets you away from it?) and it shot me to the edge of the level and then I would fall in the water, I am not sure if that was intention or not.

I liked the art style, though I feel like the camera could have been pulled back a little bit more to show where you were going.

Nice work.

sometimes jank and bugged, but super neat game otherwise. Very nice asthetic!

Very nice game I'm very bad at! Or as we say now, i goofed a lot!
Amazed at the level of visual polish this managed to cram in a jam!

The controls are a little tricky but it's SO GOOD!! ​The music, sounds, art, and feel are fantastic.

Nice music and game effects! The art style was pleasing as well. The controlls, while interesting, were a little frustrating at times. It did not feel like jump was as reliable as it should have been.

Controls could've been explained a bit better, very fun once I got the hang of it sort of. Excellent art, sounds and level design!

Super fun! I had a hard time getting all the coins, but just crashing around and doing flips was a blast!

Fun game! Right when I start the game the screen immediately shakes, not sure if this is on purpose. I do wish there was an option to turn the screen shake off. Was fun to zoom around and collect coins. The art style is charming and fits the game. Great work!

A really polished game visually and in terms of presentation. I do not know what it has to do with the theme but I had much fun playing it. I guess the flow of the level can be tweaked so that you run, grind or air more rather than frantically trying to gain speed or jump on platform. Maybe its due to the fact that jump is not always registered. Nonetheless it's super cool, and looking forward to kickflip those parks if you feel like developing it further.

This is awesome. Well polished and complete feeling, I'm super impressed that you made this in 72 hours. Awesome graphics, gameplay was fun, and as a fan of skateboarding games I was stoked to see this! No idea what it has to do with the theme but who cares. 5/5 game, great job

Dayum! Love the concept. Got kind of a Splatoon vibe from the soundtrack, but it works really well! Got a nice simple, charming visual style, and it's fun as hell to play. Only gripe is that I'm not sure it fits the theme too well.

Really polished game that could work really well on mobile with a bit of refinement of the controls. Creating believable skating slope-physics in this timeframe is an achievement in and of itself. Only thing I can't figure out is how it relates theme, but everything else is superb.

Not sure how it's related to the theme.

Liked the style! The game felt decently polished, except for the camera zoom that was constantly & quickly changing, which is my biggest complaint.

You managed to put a lot of functions into a single button, but a separate jump button would be useful.

Simple in terms of gameplay,graphics and even sound but still so awesome. I loved the level design you had in place. Using one button was a little finnicky at first but it was cool and easy to get used to. I do wish there was a way to do a quick turn though ( maybe a double tap or something... ). Some levels did kinda feel like I got to the end by being lucky though lol. The game is still cool and is overflowing with juice. Loved the little animation which played while grinding a rail lol. Great job on this

It's pretty hard to get the controls, and the screen shake is sometimes doing weird things. The game is very simplistic, but that's a good thing in game jams (Quality over Quantity :D ). Great game, apart of the controls and screen shake!
Can you play and rate my game too, would be very cool!

Ok this is amazing, best entry i've seen so far !

It's a bit hard to change direction or just "going where you want"

Nice work !

You really made the most of using a single input. It was fun experimenting with the click versus click and hold. Fun art and engaging sfx. Enjoyed the game, but got stuck pretty early on. I goofed ;)

I love the mood of this game. Challenging, but simply enough to keep me engaged. Nice work!

Out of curiosity, how does this game tie with the theme? Figured I'd check with the dev before choosing my ranking for "Theme."
