Lovely game, but really difficult to beat the game with less than 20 coins.
Also don't you love when a teen rated game has an achievement where 1 of the first users to get it has an adult rated pfp?

Wow, over 160,000 views! Thanks so much, Newgrounds!
I added five site medals to say thanks. And one of them is really, really hard. =)

FAQ:
1) the game does have an ending, but it's a bit of a puzzle to solve. hint: unlock all medals and 'fear less'. =)
2) the visual disorientation some people are getting is an optical illusion called the 'waterfall effect'. it's harmless, and should stop if you take a short break. wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_aftereffect
3) all randomness is structured into groups with delays, so the game is fair when you get at least double jump.
4) the fire/skull area is beatable without taking damage. it might scare you the first time, though. =)
5) I switched over to the newgrounds API after mochi died. Sorry to everyone who had problems playing on april 1st. It wasn't an april fools joke, promise!
6) atpalicis and I are working on a much larger project right now, so stay tuned!
TLDR; This is a thoughtfully made and tightly designed endless runner.
While some generations can end up being unfair even with full upgrades, those are far rarer than other similar games I've played. This also helped by the regenerating HP mechanic, which ends up being both a lifeline and source of tension in regards to completing the medals.
The few music tracks that are present convey the atmosphere effectively. The graphics are charming and cutesy, but the skulls and Nightmare serve as constant reminders to the game's theme.
Speaking of, all of the mechanics in this game feed back into the theme of "Fear Less," and thus nothing sticks out as being contradictory or questionable. Overall, this game is a wonderful little endless runner that has no major flaws. The only addition I would make is a counter for the number of meters ran, and even then I feel that would clutter a very clean looking UI. I hope to hear more about your other projects, since this was an outstanding introduction!
