Good game. Had some interesting concepts, but that vertical level where you had to aim at the purple blocks on the way down was a bit too much.

Cute platformer, very intuitive. I like the simplicity of this. But that pair of spikes in level 4 or 5 killed my patience!

The Sounds are a bit annoying

Nice game! I found myself wanting to keep playing to find out all of the different mechanics you put in! And damn, there were quite a few. :P I feel some of the mechanics could have been used more to make it into more of a puzzle game, as I found that the game was fairly easy (even the falling level that the previous comment mentioned). Good job, anyway. :)

Wow! I actually really enjoyed this game! The gameplay started out extremely simple, but quickly grew into something complex and exciting. The remote missile level was challenging but extremely satisfying! And I love your main character design. Could have used more sounds, and maybe a bit more polish on the art, but overall fantastic game.

well done! got to the level with jumping and missiles. Controls could be fastere though.

A very good idea and very well executed at that. Excellent. I justwould like the pace to be a bit faster.

Wow, that was fun! Very challenging at some points, I almost gave up on the glass level with the remote missile. Could have used some music, but it was awesome anyway!

Very nice one.
I'get stuck on the level with big plant. I can't bypass that wall (block-glass-block), because i don't have any weapon left for the last part of the wall. What I need to do?

Best game I've played yet this competition. The graphics are nice (although animating the monster would have been great).

The gameplay itself - just wow! You had so many ideas and you actually managed to execute them all. The level design was good as well and I was surprised how many levels you managed to do.

The only big problem with the game is the lack of meaningful audio. It's such a shame because this could have been an amazing game.

You should definitely work on this game and try to extend it after the competition.

A good puzzly platformer thing, though I think it overstayed its welcome a bit with the later levels - more isn't always better.

@Everyone: Alas, I ran out of time before I could implement any meaningful audio. Also, I suck at making music.
@Pixelbear: I wanted this to have a kind of puzzle game feel about it. Which brings us onto...
@Tumoxep: Go up and grab the missile, destroy the first wall. Then, go up and grab the fireball, burn the glass/ice. Then, burn the black plant.
@Jujule: I never thought of gameplay pace while I was making it. I suppose I should have, yes?
@Starspell: Thanks! I'll try to work on this more sometime.
@Devenger: I think the later levels (maybe not the one with the ice crystal) are fine. Nothing before them were really hard in the slightest.

Good game ... purple people do you know it!

matx 2012-12-18 17:38

Nice game. Graphics could be improved, and right now there isn't really any challenge.

So many mechanics to explore. Could have used a bit more inertia on the main character (maybe not VVVVVV-ish, but at least Mario).

ceronman 2012-12-24 22:26

Very nice game. I'm impressed with the number of levels and items that you made in only 48 hours. Well done. It was very fun!

alexrose 2012-12-24 22:57

I really enjoyed how many gameplay mechanics there were with this. I also really liked how the game was based on completionism. I'm OCD so on games where you get to graffiti the environment I just have to colour EVERYTHING anyway, so to make that the core game mechanic was perfect. Nice one.

Original idea with some good concepts. Fairly simple and relaxing to play, although I found the help text signs difficult to read.

Fun game and nice graphics. It kept me interested all the way through... well, as far as I could get. :-)
