P*ZDOREZ
The world has ended, but you have not. You still have precious moments left before you are inevitably consumed by the cosmic monstrocity, along with the rest of what's left of Earth. Run, while you still can, run even if there's no sense to it.
Use "A" and "D" buttons to avoid obstacles and collect precious, pointless cash. Speed up with stars, but evade the flying debris of your dead world. Hold on as long as you can before the hungry thing behind the luminous nebulae gets you.

This is so absurdist. I love it! It feels like if Eurovision was a game, it would be this game.
I don't think I've ever played an endless runner before where you're in front of the runner looking back. That was interesting. I really like the animation of the things flying towards the existential head, especially the way they start spinning completely out of control as they get very close. I like the collection of objects too.
I know it's just a training project but if you ever do an update there are those of us who prefer arrow keys for controls. Also, you spelt "design" wrong on the credits screen. The "0" (zero) of the counter font also doesn't seem to be displaying properly.
If you're open to feature requests, I'd really like the ability to (try to) ninja smack the things flying at me with a key press. You pretty much have the animations you would need there already.
I enjoyed this. I actually found it quite relaxing.
Oh, I see the font doesn't have a zero. That's odd. It looks like he designed one (https://fontm.com/theend-font/) but it's not in the TrueType file.
Yeah, I've noticed this problem too, but decided to go with this font anyway. It kinda adds to the wacky absurdist atmosphere of the game, in my mind
Cool, cool.
It is a nice font, yeah. I was so sad to see there's no zero (or any punctuation characters) because I would have liked to use it for a few (non game) projects,
Maybe it was created before Europe discovered the concept of zero :)
Hey, thank you for the analysis and suggestions!
I don't know why you've compared this game to Eurovision, but for some reason, this is very funny to me :) Lack of arrow keys controls is an oversight of mine, thank you for noticing that. I also really like the ninja smack idea; it would fit into the game perfectly. Maybe if the game is popular enough, I would do an update, who knows!
Because from what little I've seen of Eurovision it's the most absurd and outlandish stuff (well, a lot of it), with questionable music, fashion, and visuals that's somehow amazing to look at and often fun and that's how this game feels too.
The world was torn to pieces. You are the one who survived. And the only source of light and warmth - the Sun - opened it`s eyes and mouth and is triyng to swallow you now. Nothing can help you, but your own legs. You have to run as fast as you can.
Stars on your endless way are helping you to increase your speed. Coins on your way are help you to increase the amount of your coins.
Why the hell do you need money if there are no more goods, no producers, and not even time to buy anything, because this is the last moments of your life? Who knows.
And of course you have your enemies! If you thought that this Sun with giant teath and eyes, similar to oceans of lava and flame, is the worst person, you are wrong. The worst are things of your ex world. Everything you ever dreamed of. Or if you were privileged enough maybe you even used them: a house, a cat, a toilet. A fridge. A tree You had to be careful with your wishes, because now you have them all flying right on you - jump, or face them with your face and die.
No matter how hard you try, no matter how much money and stars you earn, you will be eaten by the big-eyed, toothy sun. The most existential game I`ve ever played. I always scream at the last moment of my lifes in this game.
Wow, thank you for this piece! I like how you've essentially created a novelization of the player experience, giving literal voice to what the game is saying through its mechanics. Great writing, I enjoyed reading it very much!
Beat me if you can
Very impressive!
