ahahha I keep dying XD, cool concept but i'm missing the sound :(, well done though

eatenalive3 2013-04-29 02:37

Very well polished! I like it :D

lamprabbit 2013-04-29 02:42

Feels really fluid, nice work!

broxxar 2013-04-29 02:46

Really tough, but also addictive!

Also, when you hit Space on the web version, the splash text for "Sluggish!" pops up, doesn't seem intended. Just thought you ought to know.

gravitygames 2013-04-29 02:57

Pretty well done, far better than my entry for sure! I really like the graphic style you used.

tnovelli 2013-04-29 03:19

Tough little game, surprisingly challenging... I could see myself playing a few minutes a day for weeks.

multiplex 2013-04-29 03:24

Nice game. One of the runthroughs I played, I got a magnet that gave me a boatload of coins, so now I doubt I can ever beat that score without another magnet though.

kunonooni 2013-04-29 03:24

Well done! Its simple yet addictive. Nice use of the theme too :)

bobo72a 2013-04-29 03:32

More addictive than I'd like to admit :D

daniel 2013-04-29 03:36

It's a bit hypnotizing! Fun little game, even though I keep dying :P

jaus_lxxiv 2013-04-29 03:44

For some reason I couldn't stop playing. The fact that the "coin magnet" power was so strong made me want to strategize about where to position myself on the screen so I could collect the power-ups most efficiently, although it does kind of disincentivise going after the coins themselves. Music is very good, has that Tetris feel to it and I never got tired of it.

susanthecat 2013-04-29 03:47

Very cute game. I found it too difficult. Might have been better if it started slower so I could get used to the controls and not die in the first few seconds.

omaha 2013-04-29 03:49

This was fun. Harder than it looks.

uhfgood 2013-04-29 04:17

Diabolical! Haha, great entry.

vladimirdlc 2013-04-29 04:31

Cool, I loved how creative and at the same time classic it was. I don't like too much writing my name everytime I lose, but maybe is because I lose too much :p

nsmurf 2013-04-29 04:36

Great! My best score was 688.
COIN MAGNET OP!!! NEED NERF COIN MAGNET!!!

paulopn 2013-04-29 04:41

This game really "feels" good. Very well polished, good job!

veeem 2013-04-29 04:58

It's a solid arcade game, but I wish I didn't have to reach for the mouse each time I want to play again.

gabehollombe 2013-04-29 05:27

Fun song that lends itself well to the frenetic pace of gameplay. I liked the leaderboard, encouraging me to keep trying to get a higher score. Fun!

gizmo 2013-04-29 05:47

this is indeed very addictive!

gokuhd 2013-04-29 05:50

Very good game! it's fun and challenging. Everybody likes collecting coins.

mekuri 2013-04-29 06:03

Very fun game- I even managed to survive a double speed "power up" at some point. This game is very addictive and challenging. Very well done. What's the idea with writing "Sluggish" when I hit space in the web version? :)

svenardo 2013-04-29 06:20

Nice work

myachin 2013-04-29 06:25

awesome

anbreizh 2013-04-29 06:27

O.O I wasn't expecting so much comments :D Thanks for the support.

The space key should'nt do anything, it's a debug feature that I left by mistake in the late hours rush :(

zaszx 2013-04-29 06:57

Very nice! And very addictive...

shaircast 2013-04-29 07:03

how an adorable character :) but died so lot. nice sound, graphic, really enjoyed.

chickentonight 2013-04-29 07:48

Really fluid movement and physics. I like it!

arkeus 2013-04-29 07:48

Fun game. It felt like there was a lot of luck involved. I found the fastest way to a high score was upon starting, if a blue powerup didn't spawn, refresh and hit start (also I might have missed a hotkey or something, but I couldn't seem to restart without submitting a score, so refreshing was faster). Felt like high scores are correlated to whether or not you get multiple magnet powers (though of course getting good at getting to power ups and not dying helps!).

That said, I still loved it and it's kept my attention more than the other games I've played so far. :)

anbreizh 2013-04-29 08:04

There is a big "restart" button on top of the game over screen if you don't want to submit your score :D :D

As for the hotkey, I had one initially but it kept messing with the input text so it was removed :(

jhrrsn 2013-04-29 08:06

This is freaking awesome! Very cool, frantic, hard - but not frustrating. Great job buddy!

ace 2013-04-29 08:33

Really nice game, the music is simple and slightly addictive. I also like the powerups, though the platforms dissappear a bit too quickly after leaving the screen, so you can't leap off one just as it goes off-screen.

coding_all_night 2013-04-29 08:45

Loved it!

cy4n1d 2013-04-29 08:59

nice work. sometime the spawn is very crazy

yacodo 2013-04-29 09:16

Keep dying too, but I want to play again and again ! :D
(Can't submit score with the Enter key, or I missed something ?)

lanoiadimuu 2013-04-29 09:30

Hard but fun! Nice music, too.

cptbubbles 2013-04-29 11:27

Simple, but addicting. I like it!

yezu 2013-04-29 11:46

Difficult :P

sebastian 2013-04-29 12:04

Pretty fun!

zer0xol 2013-04-29 12:17

Nice

d_durham 2013-04-29 12:19

This is actually one of my favorites so far. Really addictive and genuinely fun. Feels authentically retro. Great work!

szedouu 2013-04-29 12:46

nice work

anbreizh 2013-04-29 13:35

Thanks again for all the nice comments. It feels really good.

Also, I do know for you, but I can't take this damn song out of my head. It's been bugging me since I made it 24h ago :D

8bitpimp 2013-04-29 14:29

Pretty cool actually. Simple fun. Good work.

richy486 2013-04-29 14:44

Good stuff, kinda wish the platforms were a bit more uniform in their movements though. Looks great and it's fun

indieretro 2013-04-29 15:22

That is super addictive, really fun!

rxi 2013-04-29 16:25

This one ended up surprising me quite a bit. I quite disliked the way it looked and I found the music quite annoying to the point where I decided to mute the audio while I played.

Once I actually got to grips with how to play the game I found it was incredibly fun. Timing jumps, scanning the platforms, planning ahead, it felt like the same sort of thought process as playing something like Puyo Puyo, Lumines or Tetris. The selection of powerups and powerdowns really added to the game and furthered its strategy. The concept itself felt fairly innovative as well, and it was very easy to pick up and get into right way.

Overall I found the game an incredibly enjoyable experience, and feel that if a more polished version of the same concept was remade as a new game, it could end up fetching a decent audience. Good work.

martin_monosys 2013-04-29 17:10

Very nice game, lots of fun packed into a little screen. Good job!

bortstudios 2013-04-29 17:25

It's pretty fun, however I would like to have an indicator telling me how long my powerups still had. I thought I had a double jump, but as I fell to my death I realized it had been shut off and had not warned me

Still, it's pretty fun. The sound design I really liked, it all meshed together quite well

stefenism 2013-04-29 17:57

I can see how this could be very fun if developed further. I enjoyed it.

cogcomp 2013-04-29 18:23

Great music, highly addictive. I'm coming back to play this more! Slightly reminiscent of an old game called ZUB, in a good way!

mushbuh 2013-04-29 19:23

Neat take on a simple concept

shohs 2013-04-29 19:34

Pretty good game! It was pretty difficult, but manageable. I enjoyed the soundtrack and thought it was pretty suitable. I felt the controls were a little sluggish, but it didn't compromise playability.

terrivellmann 2013-04-29 20:22

Cool, simple and fun!

larb 2013-04-29 20:48

Simple, yet brilliant. I could play for hours. But I might go insane listening to that song for hours... Maybe add a music on/off switch. Great fun! Nice job.

ray_mickelino 2013-04-29 21:28

Great game! I am terrible at it, but that's my fault. Good Job!

khaldrin 2013-04-29 21:57

Fun little game. I really liked the music and the overall retro feel of it. Only thing I did not like was that I had to constantly switch from keyboard to mouse and vice versa - partly my fault for dying a lot I guess, but it would be great if "retry"/"restarting" could be done via the keyboard. Otherwise great entry :)

foxtacy 2013-04-29 22:42

This is awesome!!!! hahahahahahahaha very simple and very fun!

Congratulations! You nailed it!

here's mine:

neight 2013-04-29 22:53

Not bad. Pretty difficult, but I wish there was a bigger level, or more than one

daisuke909 2013-04-29 22:53

Pretty fun, and an interesting idea, although it didn't have much to do with the theme.

sparkleswirl 2013-04-29 23:41

Cute game. Simple, addictive, and probably the first time I've seen platforms all moving diagonally on a screen at once. =)

Funkiside 2013-04-30 17:19

This game needs only 1 thing: R to restart
Great game, thanks.

aceria 2013-05-19 16:57

Nice idea. With some development this could be very cool. At the moment my life span is around five seconds!
