It’s very fun! The palette is a bit bland being all one color, but that’s really my only critique, and otherwise I think it’s very fun. ---

There is a way to change what color each “color” is. The color fading extension lets you do this. Using that you wouldn’t even have to redo the art! Just search “color” in the extensions search bar. You’ll want the one that’s a bunch of straight vertical lines in the thumbnail. ---

Also, i played your teeny tiny cat game and it was really fun! i liked how there was secret areas like the one in the water at the end of the game! your art is also really good! ---

Really cool game! It was quite satisfying and was an interesting challenge! For a name I would suggest something along the lines of: Dash, SwitchBack, or SideSwipe. I changed some of the art in this remake and modified the colors!

i think they meant adding more of a different tone to each level, i feel that giving a unique color to the player, one that won’t show up in any level would really help it stand out. This game is really fun though, and my only critique is how punishing dying is, instead of restarting the game, try respawning the player back at the start. ---

You can try to make the brick texture more maroon or dark. I am not a pro, but can you give the stars like a particle effect? ---

you can use the color extension to change to color after every level. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/b/9/b93155a038ce085e1c027a620d0f5b2f7a4d2068.png) ---

I like the game! You can change your colors by going into your assets. You should animate the car so its satisfying when it moves. I think it will improve the game a lot. also decrease the camera size? that should make the screen have a lot less noise. One more thing, the cars instantly end your run, you should add an HP system with hearts you can regain so players don’t get frustrated. ---

I was also trying to say that to have a better, clearer understanding, here are the steps to find it. First step, go to extensions, which is under animation. Here is an image so you know where it is ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/f/6/f62523473942ef8320066c2ab2a0974745984b8a.png). Here is the next step to do, see the video to find the extension and import here ![ScreenRecording2025-08-17201327-ezgif.com-video-to-gif-converter](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/0/4/047cf6bb3e6b5d3841fdad516a5e0c9339f8fbe2.gif) Well done, you reverse it,congratulationss. ---
