Yey! Scored 19 in hard :)
Well done, the mechanics are simple working, this some good fun. Nice programmer art too! I just wish you did some level design, the random generation might not be a good fit for this gameplay. Also, no audio?

OK proof of concept. I'm trying to get the code to compile here with Clang on my Mac. Which version of SFML are you using 1.6 or 2.0 pre? I'm also missing util/Math.hpp and util/String.hpp. Are these yours or from another lib?

lorancou: Thanks. :) But yeah, I'm quite happy with the "art", even though everything uses polygons without textures (text doesn't count :P).

I did notice the level issue while playing, especially since the yellow orb doesn't always appear on the road, but I didn't have time to work on it the second day (hence no audio).

zenmumbler: SFML 2.0. I'm using a version more recent than the prerelease, but it should be fine.

The other library (although it is mine) is here:
https://github.com/spacechase0/Utility-Library
When I was trying to get it to work, most of what I had to change in the utilities was related to my use of "auto" and using a string instead of std::string::c_str() for the std::fstream constructor.

I liked the style, the chasing is pretty fun.

Fun "arcady" game, easy to pick up and play :D

Rather difficult game, simple in idea but great in gameplay. And it has randomly generatet levels! Awesome. Btw. there should be theme from Benny Hill :D

It's simple but fun.

Very nice, it's like a mix of snake and pacman

controls were a little difficult for me.

Anyways, it would be really nice if the world was larger and the orbs didn't spawn off the road. I don't like to risk the enemies catching up to me :(
It would also be good to explain why you need the orbs.

Fun :) Score 18 on normal
