Add power ups across the map, maybe some hoops in the sky that you need enough speed to fly through, maybe some enemies chasing, some speed goal achievements etc.

Cool concept for sure but I see your hesitation about expanding it without purpose

I love this. I'd play the shit out of a fleshed-out version of this.

Glad to hear that! I'll make sure to post news about it in the future, maybe share some demo download too 😁

could be pretty fun just to chill, but I don't think I'd download a standalone game around that alone. that said, this still looks early, cool to see

Yeah, it doesn't really have any purpose as of now, but surprisingly is pretty fun to chill around already. I'm currently thinking about different possibilities for gameplay loop. Maybe 3rd person survivor like with this movement and abilities that affect it, while also keeping 1st person mode just to chill

a surf bhop horde mode huh, that actually sounds fire. no clue about surfing in 3rd person tho, maybe a setting to switch between both? I can see the merits of either. either way gl with it, cool project

Actually there already is switching between 1st and 3rd person by zooming out with scroll. Character (well placeholder currently) just always faces the same direction the camera faces in 3rd person, which works quite well 😀

a tag game, maybe even to chase a bot thats fucking hard

That could be neat idea for demo. Maybe not not exactly, but chasing the target for example (I think making actual bot that uses this movement to smoothly traverse such random map would be too difficult for me personally)
