Solid idea for an endless runner, what with the energy management to be able to continue running. The levels do get boring rather quickly however. Some extra obstacles other than bottomless pits would be nice. And of course my first thought when I saw "wizard" was "add monsters!" but I doubt that's what you wanted your game to be, so terrain hazards should suffice.

Also, I noticed something that may be a bug. Whenever I passed 800 meters, the energy refill stations were always at the beginning of the platform, making it difficult to progress further. Do note that I didn't pass 1100 meters so I don't know if this extends for the rest of the game.

You've definitely got a solid start going for you!.

Thanks! I actually have a curve programmed in that moves the potion closer to the beginning of the platform the farther you go, I did this to encourage getting jumps perfect in order to continue to farther distances. Perhaps I could randomize it more but just shift it towards the start still.

What is like is that it's fun and kind of addicting. However, what annoyed me the most is the 3...2...1...Go! intro where I'm unable to do anything. I end up clicking and wasting my juice at the very start.

Other endless runners like temple runner and flappy all solve this better: You start actually running / moving at the beginning, but have to do nothing until a certain point. This gives you a place to learn the mechanics.

Also, the interaction that long-jumping doesn't cost you wizard juice could be made more clear - maybe light up the bar if wizard juice is being used up, and if you animate it when it's getting low it's also a way to get more "umph" for your game.

These are just my thoughts :) Great game otherwise, it's really fun!

Thanks, great feedback. I could alter the beginning to just be a longer running start?

The game's a little too simple, let's be honest. As a quick endless runner, it's got the graphics, the sound, the music, it's a great aesthetic package wasted on a throw-away game. GIVE US MOAAARR!! I'd love to see this turned into something where you can call on spells so that you can choose to fly over obstacles, tunnel your way thru hills, go under water, and mow down enemies. There's so much you can do with this concept, and so little that's been done in the endless runner genre. I'd say go for it, you've obviously got the programming and design skills to do it, don't let super wizard be wasted on a simple schtick.

- so endeth my roast of this game.

Wow, I like the game! It's very fun time-killer. 6766 meters were completed :)

Especially want to say, the music is really cool!

Just have some notes, I can jump, when a timer is not completed and as result, time to time I fall down at start. Also I had some freezes during gaming. Device: Nexus 5x. I hope this one will be fixed at new release.

In overall, very good job. Level design and soundtrack made me smile :) . Thanks for the good game.
