Nice to see a lowres build of this concept.

One thing I noticed is when holding down the jump button, you will repeatedly jump in the air.  I don't know if this is intentional or not.  If not, one way to get around this would be to have a variable track that you are in the middle of a jump when holding down the button and if the game confirms your jump is still active (because you held down the key), it will not allow you to jump again.  Only problem I see with this is you have multiple keys for jumping, but since you appear to be a skilled coder, you would probably find a way around it.

Ola, estoy usando un traductor para escribir este mensaje. Me parece bien que utilices los sprites de este juego. Sólo asegúrese de que usted me acredita en alguna parte y no pretender que usted los hizo. Mucha suerte. :)

Hi, no problem ! I'll do that later this evening. If you own PICO-8, you can do this on your own with the export command too.

Cool


Hello !

I made a small video with the compilation of games on the theme "Runner"!

I played, I liked it! Good luck in the future with other projects!

961 on first try!!! Very fun btw!! Loved what u did with the sprites and the animation as well!

What an awesome score !! Thank you for playing!!

highly unfamiliar with pico-8!
are the squash and stretch done in code or are they a separate sprite?

Hey! Sorry about taking so long to answer, I didn't see your comment. These were done in code, using the sspr function. How are you enjoying PICO-8?

Hello,

 I liked your game, can I reproduce it and publish it on the play store?

 I lack inspiration.

 Thank you

Please do not copy or reproduce my game and upload it elsewhere. However, I am fine if you just take inspiration from my ideas without copying them (especially since this is not really an original idea). How about putting your own twist on it! :)

Ok, no problems

thanks

I really like what you've done here, it's excellent! Also, I found a glitch. When you reach 3500 points, a whole bunch of stuff stacks on the right side of the screen. Thanks for making this <3

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll look into what caused this bug!
