This was a good game! It had a quick twitchy kind of addictive game-play, similar in many ways to "Three Body Problem". I played until level 4, but which time I had already activated Potato Mode.
I got quite good at hovering in place, but one must also learn to flee. While I am not convinced that a context for this was necessary, the choice of "spy avoiding capture" is pretty fitting. I hover until my cover is blown, and then I have to speed away without... touching the walls!
possiably fixed problem
Sorry, this also crashes right away on Windows 8 64-bit.
Crashed on my win 7 64 bit.
I was like "holy potatoes, they're chasing me!". I had a laugh with this game. Main issue is that it's too hard to keep it for 30 seconds, the player increases speed too fast. However, it's not everyday you get chased by potatoes :).
Beat Level 6 while working on Debugging.
We've tracked it down to when OpenTk loads OpenAl on x64 machines and are working to fix that. ( matter123 is a good friend of mine. )
Highly addictive and fun as is all other similar like games. Had a blast trying to control that speed
Addictive game! Great job ;)
Immediately crashed on my computer, sorry :(
Potato mode!
Crashed on open for me as well. Here's the error text:

64 works but 32 didn't. Great game. I ended up with a forearm cramp.
Didn't rate, sorry I can't play it. There's no OSX bootable file in the OSX download folder :( Maybe you can rebuild somethin'? I was really interessed by the design and the pitch ;)
The mac link appears to contain a windows build?
@porglezomp im using mono/.net it creates .exe files but the run on all platforms
It is a pretty good game. I have to say that it might be a bit too hard though. I made it too level 4 and I had a good laugh at the potato mode. Good Job! (playing on Win8 64-bit, so I guess you guys worked out the bugs)
Really nice twist to the generic "dodge things" gameplay mechanic. The later more harder levels made it a bit more addictive as well. Also potatoes :D
The potatoes were amusing. Aside from that, the controls were far too twitchy and imprecise for my taste, especially to keep up for 30 full seconds.
Wow, thats diffucult, enjoyed potato mode and the quick acceleration
A little floaty for my tastes, but a pretty good game! I liked it!
Nice work. The controls were _really_ touchy (but maybe that's the point?) Pretty fun.
Sometimes when I died, the game would crash (on OS X).
I was running mono version 2.10.9
At first, I thought the controls were too twitchy. I was about to close the game, but then the potatoes came out. I wasn't going to let some spuds make a chump out of me, so I busted out my game pad and redoubled my efforts. That's when I realized the controls were BRILLIANT! Extremely quick and precise.
I ended up doing the "IMPOSSIABLE" and beating the game. I enjoyed it thoroughly, very nicely done sir!
I loved the small story and how nonsensical it actually was to have it for this gameplay. Made me chuckle :) The controls were far too twitchy and the timer far too long though, thus the game was going too fast and too slowly at the same in an unsatisfying manner.
Not bad, but very unfair at times. Also, lol potato mode.
Sadly your game just crashes on my WinXP (32-bit) laptop, when I try to start it. :( No special error message though.
Works for me on Windows 7 64 bit.
This game is hard, indeed. It could become a bit nicer with only a few tweaks, e.g. make the screen borders wrap instead of death zones, and let the blue square rest more easily, some kind of brakes for instance.
