Some of the mechanics and design in this game aren't ideal, but I'm the type of person who can admire artistry and ambition, and this certainly is ambitious. Good job.

"Some of the mechanics and design in this game aren't ideal"
I'm inclined to agree, yeah.
"and this certainly is ambitious."
Sometimes I wonder that since I had it chalked up as "generic endless runner". But then I realize there isn't much that plays like this in specific. Which implies it's something new, at least. I tried to make the endless runner I wanted to play, but by the time I think I figured out what that would look like a little more, the game was already done with all it's issues :v
But people are having fun despite that, so there's probably some merit in this flavor of the idea.
Takes a moment to get used to on PC, but not bad. It feel like things are coming at you to fast to react to at times, and that your making it through the level trough random jumps and dashes.
Amni3D responds:
Yeah, I think the camera work needed a bit more work.
not bad just a bit clunky 5 minute time waster
Amni3D responds:
Yeah, there's a lot I could've done better here. Not enough time spent making the game in general feel good. My mistake was being too laser focused in specific parts of development, and didn't see the big picture. Part of that is probably my lack of experience. I roll with the idea that making something new is the best use of what I learned here. To turn this game into what I want it to be now would require way too much to be redone.
I'd be inclined to agree that it's a "bit clunky". I'll try to do better next game. (but keep in mind it does help to be more specific with your issues with the game)
This is a luck-based game..
Amni3D responds:
Hmmm... I'd agree to an extent. With how these games work once you get a feel for the mechanics, the random generation weighs you down less.
I somehow am experiencing a bug where I can't see anything
Amni3D responds:
Have no clue, and this is the first I've heard of that. Like the game just loads, and it doesn't display anything? No error, as in it fully loaded? If you want me to fix it, I'll need more info to work with. So anything helps, like
-What machine, what web browser
-Check if other web games have this issue. Specifically check Unity WEBGL games in Newgrounds and see if there's an issue there.
By the way, if you're using a web browser like Brave, a massive majority of web games just won't run unless you give the site explicit permission, but past that it can work fine.
Could be a plugin blocking certain content. Try on a vanilla version of Microsoft Edge or Firefox and see what's up there, worst case scenario. I'll likely make an offline build soon enough and link it in the description just in case something went wrong loading it on a web browser.
