cool

Overall a pretty fun game. It would be nice if it didn't throw you directly into the action, though, so that you could get used to the controls first.

Fun game! Had to get into the hang of it at first. It seems a lot easier if you don't go for anything and just concentrate on staying alive... not enough desire for bananas.

Fun little frantic game. I liked the look of it especially - pretty ufo, and the animation never felt janky.

Aside from the lack of sound and the fact that pickups occasionally appear to spawn in an impossible to reach spot, this is a reasonably alright game.

This is a great LD game! The gameplay is simple but the mechanics make it challenging enough to require some skill. Plus the graphics are simple but appealing. Good work!

I got stuck under a block and lost all my lives instantly the first time I played, that felt pretty lame, I would destroy all blocks on screen or make you a ghost for a second.

What happens when you fill the green bar all the way!? TWICE I died right before it was full. ARGH

Fun game though, would really benefit from sound/music.

The controls are satisfying and frustrating at the same time.

quarry 2013-04-29 13:04

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone! Also the game is "finished" when you fill the bar completely but that doesn't have any other effect (such as increased score etc.)

Looks great

grimpunch 2013-04-29 13:38

you get 5 stars for humor just for that description. :P

umu 2013-04-29 13:43

That's really hard p_p

I got to the top, but I couldn't see the message because I was taping space to not die and it started the game over.

That's really hard.

I like the frantic gameplay. You really have to keep cool head or you die. The graphics are clean and minimal. Very nice overall.

yselftool 2013-04-29 13:44

Music/Sounds would be great. Works (with up arrow, space was not accurate enough), but a higher display would be great, because the time is often too short to get your bananas.

pushmepullyu 2013-04-29 13:45

Your banana computation sold it for me sir! Good job!

stiju 2013-04-29 13:53

Good game. It would be nice to have some kind of ending screen when the bar filled up 100%, showing total score or so.

I might have clicked through one but I'm not sure because the game just restarted when it finished.

edocentrique 2013-04-29 14:28

Except for a few bananas poping in the wall, it's good

gama11 2013-04-29 14:29

Cool idea, I really like the graphics style as well. However, I really missed sfx and the controls didn't feel good at all.

quarry 2013-04-29 14:38

Wow, really sorry for the lack of end screen. It ended up being a > rather than >= in the code!

thirteenwb 2013-04-29 16:28

Was a good game but would be nice to have some kind of introductory level even if it was just slightly slower, I found myself dying almost instantly the first time I played it.
Like the idea of collecting bananas, and gameplay was fun once you got the hang of it. Good job :)

gilmore606 2013-04-29 17:02

I'm offended that the game places the blame directly on me for dying. I think whoever put those electric fields there bears at least some of the responsibility.

quarry 2013-04-29 17:07

You are the one that keeps hitting them, not the guy who put them there !!!!SOLELY FOR YOUR SAFETY!!!!

mushbuh 2013-04-29 18:55

WHY WOULD ALIENS NEED BANANAS SO UNREALISTIC

quarry 2013-04-29 19:06

BUT IT'S SO MINIMALIST, CONSIDER THAT!

egos 2013-04-29 19:13

nice game and polishing but its not minimalist its simplist

pyrosneak 2013-04-29 19:51

Fun little game :)

dasrkrain 2013-04-29 20:20

good job!

This is a pretty nice take on one-button games.

omaromeir 2013-04-30 06:33

I had fun even though it can be really difficult. Cool graphics :).
