Not much to say since this is a very simple runner game. Controls work, animations can get glitchy in some instances. Few times, it is not clear if you can jump on something or not. One thing that anoyed me is when you are suposed to fall into the toilet and you jump too far, you hit the wall and die.

A few suggestions if you decide to work on the game some more and expand it:

  • Speeding up the animation cycle might be a good idea because right now your character "slides" because the animations are slower than your movement speed
  • Some alterations to the obstacle art would be nice. Make it clear what is background and what you can jump on (Like the piano, where you are suposed to jump on the keys instead of the top) 
  • Some basic sound effects would be nice, maybe some music
  • This is pretty obvious, but it would be nice to get more abitlities and in turn make the obstacles more complex as the game goes on. Something basic like airdash, double jump or being able to stop in mid air for a second if you decide to add moving hazards.
  • Level transitions could use improvement. Fading screen to black and then showing the next level sounds better to me than the black foreground wall.
  • Some kind of death animation would be a good idea.
  • Lastly, playing the game in the browser window cuts parts of the text. Putting it in fullscreen fixed the issue.

And I think that's it. As I said. Pretty basic game so there is a lot of things you could add, but if you stick to it, it could turn into something interesting.
