It was way too short (only 3 levels, 2 of which were tutorials!), it didn't really match the theme well, there was no audio to it, and it ran really slowly on my computer. The graphics were nice and clean, though a tad simple.

Ah, some valid points, so no argument there. :)

I'll have to take a closer look at performance. I was mostly relying on a profiler during dev, rather than real world performance on other machines.

Could you (and others with performance issues) tell me your OS and browser version?

Thanks for giving my humble first try a go! :)

Short, but fun. With some more levels and sound that could be really good.

wompus 2011-12-19 23:57

Aww so short? I wanted to play more levels :(
Some sound and more levels and it would be a really fun game!

Runs slowly on my computer (XP running Chrome).

Nice to see a HTML5 game here.
The game is short but I think the controls and general feeling is quite great.

I think it has some bug here on my pc. I'm running Chrome 16 on Windows 7. Here's a screenshot.

That's interesting! It looks like just a font size problem, but I'm not sure why it's doing that. I'll see if I can reproduce it; will have access to a Vista machine next week to do some more Windows testing.

Really nice mechanics here. Even though it's short it shows promise for being a pretty good game. Reminded me of Metal Gear Solid :)

First off, I love that this is HTML5, well done. Runs smoothly here, gameplay somewhat reminds me of VR training in MGS, which is good, because I loved those missions.

The programmer art is clean and simple, though it could have benefited from some audio.

The game itself is very short, seems to be more of a demo than a game. I'd love to see this up and running with a full library of levels.

Overall, good job.

The concept is interesting and well done, but I don't think it really fits the theme and it was way to short.

The text was too big and impossible to read in Chrome. Where did the theme fit in?

kellythomas 2012-01-08 05:36

nice engine, needs more level.
Its a shame because I would like to play more.

pierrec 2012-01-08 09:33

Aaah! It ended just when it was strating to get interesting. The concept is not bad, but I would like to play more.

hempuli 2012-01-08 12:12

Really sweet idea! And yeah, way way way WAY too short. I'd LOVE to see this elaborated on!

ayce 2012-01-08 12:13

Very good idea, if the game would just have more levels :D

fififox 2012-01-08 13:30

So short! The game is promising, you could make something really fun with that! But it doesn't really match the theme. Too bad there wasn't sound either. The graphics are good though! Try posting more on the blog next time too !

milo 2012-01-08 22:15

The graphics look very nice, given the simplicity, and the concept is very simple, yet still interesting. I don't know how much time you took to create the levels, but I would gladly have taken 2 tutorials followed by something really difficult over 3 easy levels.

kitch 2012-01-08 22:18

Just as I was getting into it.. it was over :( (I'm sure you haven't heard that enough :) ) Keep going with it. A few more levels and maybe a bit of audio and this will be great.

cosr 2012-01-09 09:09

Not bad. Would have been nice to see it more developed. It's simple, however it never really got to a point where it was all that interesting.

I noticed the game lagged a bit at times while moving (Firefox 8). Seems to be sort of a thing with HTML5 games.

djcsdy 2012-01-09 21:38

It's a real shame that there aren't more levels because this is great!

kosinus 2012-01-09 22:55

Hah, I feel kinda bad now for not putting more effort into level design. I was rather easy going through all of it. I'll try to make sure I have the monday off next time; that could've made a difference.

Will try to be more of a community man next LD, Fififox! Tried to be a somewhat decent judge to compensate. ;)

Terribly sorry about the font bug, I still haven't been able to reproduce it, even on two Vista laptops I had access too. I developed in Chrome, so that makes it even more odd.

Thanks for all the comments and ratings! :)
