Pretty cool, but way too hard for me (I suck at wall jumps) Nice sound!

Theme stretched a bit lol... nice tight controls. Feels like a lo-fi Super Meatboy. Very well done.

I love it; the controls feel great for the most part. Wall-jumping didn't feel right to me, and i think it's because you train the player to rely on the momentum of the character, but that momentum doesn't exist when wall-jumping.

For example, if I change directions quickly on the ground, I press the key before I actually want the character to change direction, in anticipation of some sliding. When wall kicking, I found myself doing the same thing, pressing the opposite key as I contacted the wall. But if you aren't pressing towards the wall when you try to kick, you just fall down.

Great job on the game!

Fun game, although i lack the skills :P

The meat of the game seems to resemble another platformer with saws I can think of, but no matter. The levels are well-designed, the controls are excellent, the aesthetics are nice. The song is a bit repetitive, but there's a mute button, so no harm done. The theme seems a little stretched. Overall, an excellent game.

Wow, well done. This might be my favorite so far.

I like this game, it's like super meat boy, thought I liked the saws being circles better ;/ WHY?!?

lectvs 2012-04-24 05:00

@samusetroid Apparently people think the theme was streched enough :/ Putting circles in would hurt that more.

Even easy is pretty darn hard! Did complete/enjoy it though. Level design was really tight. Liked the pixel animation, but theme did feel a bit loose generally.

A fun Super Meatboy-ish game. Definitely enjoyable but HARD ;)

Hard And Fun!

Wow, totally getting a Super Meat Boy vibe from this, and the controls are really nice!! Probably the best I've played in terms of the character doing exactly what I want it to. Really enjoyable :D

marudziik 2012-04-25 21:06

So hard! Even on easy mode! *_* Love it!

stigmawall 2012-04-26 04:34

You can make that replay effect? Will be awesome! hauhauha
I really enjoy it. I like this kind of game, it´s now innovative, but works very well. Congrats.

Ah, super meat boy in squares. Very competently done. Functional visuals and nice control. Sound is perhaps a bit bland.

jeffz 2012-04-28 00:28

not sure if it was stong on the theme, but otherwise good game!

Nice Super Meat Boy clone :)

legacycrono 2012-04-29 19:31

Very good game! It's a lot like Super Meat Boy.
Maybe it could be harder ;D

brighterorange 2012-04-29 22:10

This is an obvious Super Meat Boy clone but a good one. The controls are solid and I played through the whole thing (easy) and it was fun. The music gets a bit much after a while. :)

badlydrawnrod 2012-05-04 18:54

Enjoyable but tough as nails. Like the pixel animation.

philhassey 2012-05-06 13:43

Pretty nice :) I didn't get too far because I'm not good at wall jump games.

cadin 2012-05-08 23:58

Hard mode is hard? Easy mode is hard! Ha ha.

Nice work. The mechanics remind me a bit of Super Meat Boy (which I also thought was too hard).

orangepascal 2012-05-13 20:51

damn that's hard!

azurenimbus 2012-05-13 21:11

Good job!

sodaware 2012-05-14 00:08

I'm not normally a fan of games that are so hard I want to pull off my face, but this was pretty fun. For some reason I'd really like to see something like this combined with a "rewind" feature like Braid. Probably because I'm really bad at these games :)
