five stars for "Walls: Try to avoid them!".

foggysheep

Mr Monocle for president!

hroon

The death messages are priceless.

felsiland

I like the messages, a bit hard though

thiagocamposviana

very fun, liked that it has several itens and all the gameplay elements.

gadlor

solid work, sir deps! i look forward to many more of mr. monocle's madcap mayhem adventures.

girlflash

I'd rather Mr monacle didnt have quite so large a collision area, but its still totally awesome :D

farman-farout

Brilliant! And utterly insane. I agree with gadlor - I demand more of Mr Monocle's Marvellous Madcap Adventures!
It's a simple game when it comes down to it, but brilliantly presented. Nice one!

Cool graphics, dying was never more fun :)

jazmeister

FileSmelt wouldn't work for me.

nilsf

Brilliant.
I didn't like the fact that Mr Monocle seemed to crash in the walls while he was still at what seemed like a safe distance away, and the music was a bit annoying.
But aside from those quibbles, it's a wonderful game. Funny, polished (the menu screen background was a nice touch as was having a scrolling credits screen), and solid (if not very original) gameplay, five stars.

Death screens were definitely the highlight.

Hitting your head on a wall that the bike would clear felt wrong to me.

I love it !! and the messages are ... have no words to describe it :)

sparky

Haha, very well done!

I love the death messages. Also very polished with full highscore list.
Only niggle: The collision with the walls is very picky.

gamerfoelife

I was impressed by the number of graphics you drew up and used in the time! Sooo much art!

I think cave generation worked out well, even though its fairly simple.

It was a bit to easy to die. Kind of frustrating to die by strafing into the edge. I would prefer if only head-on collisions could kill the player.

mathias

Way too difficult, at least for me. Points for doing it in Ruby. :)

Mr. Monocle is awesome. Some very funny stuff. The pictures when you die are awesome. Only complaint is that gnomes are nearly inevitable death - because of the crap they throw, it takes a whole bunch of bombs to kill them.

glever

Very amusing. Cool gameplay due to varying enemies and procedurally generated maps. Only complaint is that my physics box is not a line at the base of my sprite (where I touch the ground), as banging my head on something when I think I'm in front of it sucks.

erki

Simple but fun. Diagonal movement seemed extra fast, which made control a bit difficult.

The death screens were awesome.

spacemaniac

corrupted copy of the game dude... (windows) =

The idea of a monocled man riding a penny-farthing deep inside a cavern feels me with great glee. Loved the humor in the game. Wished the movement was a little more precise and not floaty like right now.
