My hiscore 1419
My best score so far is 3662. It's surprisingly fun. I predict it would be incredibly addictive with an online highscore table. I loved the little ghost guy when you crash into the spikes.
I liked the twist on the platformer. You actually have to avoid platforms to survive.
Oh that was just a ton of fun. There are a lot of really great nifty gameplay elements going on.. very cool! It is fairly balanced already and has a nice assortment of powerups and things to dodge. It is a little buggy currently but nothing that couldn't be fixed up post-compo. I enjoyed the music and the graphics are quite humorous. The controls play well and the game is simply a lot of fun. I think with some better graphics, online highscores for players and a tiny more polishing and bug fixing you'd have a great little game here to let people enjoyably waste their time. :)
Nice little game, got 2313 on my second try.
The first time I started this game, I hit a bug that caused the game to detect space as always being pressed, so it skipped past the info and death screens, and the block guy always moved upwards and died instantly, in a never-ending death loop. Quit and tried running the game again though, and it worked fine then, and has since. Didn't do anything different that I know of the first time.
Anyway, when it worked, this was fun. Felt a little bit odd to escape from the wall of firey doom *downwards* .. I guess the sun is going nova or something, but even if the block guy ever manages to reach the bottom of this seemingly bottomless spiky elevator pit he's doomed to a firey death anyway. Those birds seem remarkably unaffected by the situation, too. Not that there's any obligation for everything to make sense all the time =)
Was a bit annoying that bonus points and birds sometimes spawned in unreachable places (inside spikes, halfway inside the fire).
Not sure what my best score is exactly, but it was somewhere around 3600. I was just pressing space to go up at the time, so the death screen was skipped.. Having to press a different key to dismiss the death screen would avoid this problem (eg enter?).
Saturated red text on a blue background was *not* a good decision. =)
I like the block guy btw. He looks so happy! No worries about the impending firey death.
Hah, that was good simple fun for a while. Nice. Don't really have much to add, except that the "flapping wings" noise seemed very out of place. I guess the music would have become annoying real quick, but it was kind of fun for the couple of minutes I played it.
Fun! Good audio, liked the powerups, loved the animations on the main characters. x_x
