Interesting little game. I like the graphic style (Mrs. Mr. Hero is a bit "overdone" I'd say). Only real downside I could find are the controls. Sometimes I've had quite some issues properly grabbing or dropping traps just in time (IE10/Win7).

Kinda hard to set the objects in the scene, but still pretty fun! =]

Love the graphics and humor (character names, "you win" message, etc). Had a lot of difficulty placing the objects though =/ It took me a lot of attempts to clear stage 1, and I couldn't beat stage 2...
Loved the idea and the look. But frustratingly difficult to place items in the time limit.

It was a bit difficult to place items in the amount of time available.
Fun concept - but it's a bit hard to put the objects down in the scene so by the time you do the hero already has the girl.
It could have been a good puzzle game actually

Great idea!
Love the graphics and the intro.
You should work a bit on the control though... Maybe add a hint when you can drop the obstacles?

I like the graphic and atmosphere, but it's damn too hard to place object on the floor! We should have a feedback when you hover the droppable area.
@Smaxx @Floko @chambers @daredevildave @Stryphe @robashton @Per @gre So guys, thanks for your comments. Thats it, the TIME IS CHALLENGE too, but the "drag, move, click/drop" must be fixed... this behaviour is strange. Maybe we add a hint about how to play (where drop the items), but, is obviously (or not?), above the ground or in the "roof". So, thanks! We will try to make a better experience!

This game is amazing. I really love the design and the sounds. Have an awesome rating for an awesome game!
Like was said, that controls are really hard. Maybe if the hero waited a little before start running it would be a lot better.
Great humor!
Good job!
Just one problem is the drag and drop think... it's annoying.
THe sound don't really need to repeat when the player play again IMO. And i enjoy the graphics.
Very nice art and good execution on the theme, but I couldn't manage to drag/drop items most of the time and so I couldn't beat the first level... most of the time I dragged something out there it would either stay in my hand or return to the toolbar (Chrome, Win7).
Great! Amazing game!

Controls ruined it :( Give us a little time to put the traps before the hero starts moving...
Can't get past lvl 1-5, how many are there?
Great graphics! I really like the idea too - unfortunately, I had a lot of trouble with the click-and-drag... seemed difficult to simply drop a trap where I wanted to.

Really good graphics and animations, but the controls are irritating. I often cannot place the traps, or they dissapear. The hand that lacks proper "pointer" also doesn't help at all.

Nice artwork,
but hard to place the item.

Awesome graphics and nice animation. As mentioned in descriptions there are some problems with drag and drop mechanics. If fixed it could be very enjoyable fast paced puzzle game!

really cool game, only i can't really play it.. it's really hard to place the obstacles with a touch pad... it's probalby pretty doable with a touch screen.
It's a fun game, but the controls can be frustrating. It should be much easier to drop the traps than it is. That falls into the category of frustration, rather than challenge, if you know what I mean.
I love the concept and the art style. I think this game has a lot of potential :)

The idea was used lot of times, but here is good realisation.
Grabbing is a bit buggy, but graphics are beautifull and I found that cool ;)
It fits perfectly the theme.
Hillarious! Great graphics & sound. The trap placing is a little buggy, though.

Has potential to be quite fun, but the mouse controls are very hard to gauge. Make the "hitbox" for the mouse larger, and perhaps change the visuals to reflect it better, and you have a fun sort of on-your-feet puzzle game!
Loved the production as a whole, though.
