This was a bit of a mission to download, but it's fairly nicely executed. I liked the super low res tiles. Horizontal movement seems to get jammed up every so often, and there's not much to the game yet, but the map is huge!

I suggest using rapidshare - uploading.com had me waiting 70 seconds! :D

With some improvements this could become a fairly cool game! ;)

Nice game, when I have upgraded jumps the game is more enjoyable. I didn't found any relation to islands.

It felt a bit like "just another platformer", but i liked it's feel and the graphics are alright.

Cooshinator

Good job, nice graphics and sound effects, but I didn't like the lack of purpose. It was pretty fun though

It's a good start, but there needs to be more to do, I think. The planned water and enemies would have been good, and/or power ups to let you reach places you couldn't before. Otherwise, a good start. Oh, I dig the pixely graphics, too.

I was unable to locate the sourcecode for your game.

Nothing really special, but platformer movements worked well.

Yeah, there just isn't much of a 'reason' to keep playing. And I feel like I've seen that player sprite before somewhere. Maybe I'm crazy.

Selkie

It gives me too much lag, I can't play properly :(

Endurion

Solid little game. There's some problem with the controls every now and then I have to release left/right and depress them again to gain full speed.
The map is effin' huge!
Still, it feels good to play.

Made a good first impression. It was, surprisingly, fairly easy to know what the powerups did (mostly through trial and error, but still).
However, there wasn't much reason for me to keep playing. The main problem is that it's an exploration game, but the new areas you discover look exactly like the old ones did. Collecting the eggs is fun, but once I had more than half of the small eggs, it became harder and harder to find more. There really wasn't much variety in this game (other than the powerups), and that's a shame. Having said that, it was very fun to begin with. It just goes downhill from there.
(Also, it never told me how to save my game, and I didn't think about it. So I eventually found the place where you can get stuck, and had to restart the game.)
