Lol very funny idea, simply and yet its very nice to play. Try to add some music and more challenge. Congrats

Great start! Keep it up, and you'll have a pretty slick game!

BQMick 2012-04-24 16:39

Very good idea ... simple and effective

cryptix 2012-04-24 19:23

I didn't have a clue at first, but once i realised what to do, it was fun! :)

Lol nice work. I could see this going somewhere.

Very slick for 48 hours. I like it a lot, when I understood that I had to run up there and "feed" the sun the concept made a whole lot more sense too. Throw some other objects in there and you can have your self a very addictive little game!

Before reading the comments I wonder what I had to do. But after that I agree that the idea is cool and could easily be enhanced :) Your visuals are good an the game works like a charme. Congratulations :)

Very well done, i kept getting a game over screen?

codexus 2012-04-27 21:39

Nice game, at first I thought I was just randomly collecting coins. It's only by reading a comment I understood the concept. Really cool concept!

volute 2012-04-27 22:21

I had fun playing this game :) I would love to see it improved !

It was fun and addictive once I realized what to do. I like that you can extend the daylight by jumping to the sun. It gives the game enough depth to make me want to retry and beat my score. The art was polished too. A job well done for a weekend.

With difficulty levels, music, more collectibles, etc you could have a marketable game.

Great looking game, and pretty fun too!

Now it just needs that extra something that makes games addictive!

...are cycloptic afraid of the dark?

Very nice! A simple idea solidly implemented. It kept me engaged for the whole round, which is pretty impressive.

oye-beto 2012-05-01 08:51

Easy to pick up and play.
I like the control over the jump height and graphics are nice.

It could be improved with enemies or spikes and the ability to jump down.

Great little game, this has potential to be one of those notoriously addictive Flash games like Winterbells.

onehandclap 2012-05-01 16:54

Simple, but very entertaining. Liked it. =)

Good idea, most people made a game that takes place AROUND a tiny round planet, and not INSIDE of it. But I think the level was too random, maybe the same concept would have worked better with level-to-level gameplay taking place inside a single 360-degree planet that doesn't change when you go full-circle, instead of "infinite" gameplay with a single level.

Congrats for your game! I also didn't find out what I had to actually do the first time I tried, but then I read the instructions once again and got the hang of it!

iximeow 2012-05-03 03:53

Man, that was fun. Took me a moment to realize that the world isn't REALLY a circle, and is generated as you move into it. I really liked that.

Sound is really -really- loud though.

mrho 2012-05-03 13:17

Very cute ^^

skelethulu 2012-05-03 18:13

I find something very striking about how this looks. would love to see it expanded.

endurion 2012-05-03 18:55

Cute idea, the game felt a bit jerky though. Sometimes the jump wouldn't register.

Feeding the sun is a neat addon, the day/night cycle is well done.

valeour 2012-05-03 20:15

Very clever and enjoyable, nice job. Sound was a bit too loud though!

kevinworkman 2012-05-03 23:45

Great start, and it would be more addicting if it got faster or had enemies or something. Really well polished for 48 hours!

deejorg 2012-05-04 16:38

Fun game, i like the mechanic. The jump does feel a little slow though.

madball 2012-05-06 07:24

Hamsters are animals, too. They have to sleep.

dr-pingu 2012-05-07 11:33

a great game :)
there is a lack of content but the overall game is well polished :)
