This is great! Love the idea, and it feels positively like those old-timey lcd-games that sell tehmselves on being like game-boys :)

Nice work!

Not bad at all, it could have been a bit more challenging to begin with - perhaps by making the trains something that you also had to avoid :)

This game brings back some nostalgia from those oldschool gamesystems that looked like gameboys, but could only play very simple games with simple graphics.
Definitely liking aesthetic execution with the graphics style and resolute audio!

Would be great to have to avoid trains too...

good idea, very original. :)

I used to love game & watch when I was young - you've definitely captured that vibe. Well done.

great game and watch feel!

You really nailed the game&watch look and sound. Fantastic job :)

Game&Watch seems to be the trend for this LD: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-25/?action=preview&uid=4681

I think your game also misses a loosing condition. Like RexPeppers suggests, having to avoid trains could enhance the gameplay.

Fun game & watch style

97 points on the first try (using the mouse). This is really fun and addictive! I think the balancing is quite good, and I particularly like how there seem to be "waves" so you get a bit of a breather in between, because it does get quite hectic. It looks cute too!

HA! I love it. I agree that you might want to make avoiding the trains part of it, but even as is it's more fun that it should be. Gleefully evil! Great job.

Nice, but gets a bit boring.

It's really nice, good graphics, good sounds and it's very solid.

The gameplay is kind of repetitive, I wish there was more to it, as there's too much waiting time and what you do move ends up being really automated. But good job, over all!

Yeah, liked the game & watch style. Could have been a little more in this direction graphical wise.
Nice little game.

Nice retro LCD action.

Very cute, love the game and watch style.
