I get a "No suitable graphics card found..." error - what do I need to run this? I have a middle of the line processor, 32-bit Dell running Windows 7, afaik the graphics card isn't anything fancy.

Aha, thanks for pointing that out. This is a common issue with XNA games. I've uploaded a new version that should work now =)

It works :) I found it fun! Liked the different kinds of hazards you had, the ambiance was sort of creepy, too.

Not bad at all. The graphics are simple, but the controls are very responsive, the level design has a healthy amount of challenge, and there are very few collision bugs.

You should get rid of the invisible walls in some stages, and add a proper ending, and you will have a great game in hands.

Oh, and I don't mind the birds, no need to apologize :-)

OH GOD THE BIIIIIIRDS!!! That last stretch before the final where you have to scale the side of the wall with the birds chasing you... OH GOD NIGHTMARES!!! lol The end was funny because I thought he just tripped...

The level design was superb! Challenging without being frustrating. I found the birds to be more hilarious than annoying, though I can't explain why. Overall, great game, and I'd love to see it expanded into a longer game. :)

Eep :( it would be nice to be warned that XNA is needed! (I'm lacking it right now XD so will have to come back later)

This was very fun and frustrating, but a good balance of both. I am currently modding this just for fun.

Nice game!
The challenges are pretty fun and the game is very moody.
The music is a little bit annoying but it is OK.
Sweet Game!

@Static_boy123
Good luck! The whole thing is a mess, but if you manage to make something please let us know =)

It was fun and moody, but it later became too difficult for me to stay interested. It's better than the other 600 generic plat-formers that were submitted.

Good job with 28th in the jam! I have to agree with you though, that your code was a mess. Although I did learn a lot from it, so thank you for being awesome :D
