I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I've definitely seen some shit. :D
It wasn't very intuitive what exactly I need to do to "win".
I guess it's about balancing the efficiency and the drama so the audience likes it more?
But I do love the aesthetic, it makes up for the gameplay questions and makes this game worth a play for me. Well done on the art too, it looked really good!
It's chaotic, yet you don't really need an explanation to play. I had fun, but I'm confused, and surprised, and I started again to look at the details I missed the first time (why is there an entire stadium full of people cheering why is there a kind of twitch chat with people commenting...)
The only thing I think is a bit unfair is it's hard to catch fire thingy, when they appear you don't move fast enough to get it so it felt like luck. Not a real issue, just a possible improvement!
Was not sure how to collet :fire: on time so I decided just to stay on the same lane; Cool endless loop mesh trick too!
Here is my playtest:

The buzz sounds were hilarious and yes, this game really does feel like one of those shows haha
Some of the easiest fives for humor, graphics and audio :)
Really interesting concept and idea, we loved the chat and the adverts popping in. Somehow, we managed to beat it first time with a score of 68417.
With so little time to react, it was hard to have a strategy other than spamming jump and swerving around, maybe a bigger distance between the camera and the player could help.
That's not that big of a deal though as the rest of the games elements carried the experience. The art music and sound effects were all appropriately goofy and fun.
I think it was a little hard to tell where stuff was coming from but also if I just kept jumping I was generally successful. I think adding some other things that can happen to you as you're running away that you have to avoid might make it a little bit more 'dynamic.'
