Very cool idea. Got stuck at the guy throwing projectiles, but I can see this kind of thing being very interesting, especially with spline shapes or vectors.

Nice! Very clever use of minimalism. A little unclear as to who was hitting who at the end, but I think I beat the game!

bereuge 2013-04-30 02:45

Thank you!
@tacograveyard If you reached the end of line, then you beat the game ;)

timtipgames 2013-04-30 12:25

The style is awesome.

xgeovanni 2013-04-30 12:29

Might want to put the controls somewhere.

Very nice! I liked the dynamic of switching to the bottom of the line. Why would anyone ever go back to playing right-side-up voluntarily?

nisshoku 2013-04-30 12:32

I also wasn't sure whether I beat the game or not, I thought the blue screen effect meant that I took a water wave to the face, but apparently it means that I hit the guy.

rwos 2013-04-30 12:42

Fantastic visuals, this is really something different! Took me a while to find out that one can switch to the other side of the line. Also, on my qwertz keyboard, the controls are a bit awkward to reach. But other than that this is pretty much perfect - great work!

As a fan of la linea, I really like this game. The line effect is well executed.
As you said it's buggy sometime, but it remains a nice small game.

Great art and concept! Kept falling through the floor though, and wasn't sure what was going on when I hit the wolf with the sword and the screen flashed blue.

This was very good indeed! Captured the minimalist theme quite well while still allowing for gameplay. I was really happy when I found out about shifting the line. Very cool indeed.

ghostinthesoft 2013-05-01 12:38

I like the idea and the game you made, it was fun to play

gama11 2013-05-01 12:39

I really like the artstyle and the concept in general. However, it wasn't very playable due to the controls (the animation that makes you freeze for quite a while when switching sides and the fact that jumping automatically makes you tavel horizontally makes it really hard to control).

corofides 2013-05-01 12:47

I liked it. Very interesting use of the theme, rather innovative on an old concept.

uncade 2013-05-01 15:48

Cool idea, and the animation is really cool, the controls were tough to get used to, but I still think you did a great job!

ariake81 2013-05-01 21:30

Really liked it, my favourite game yet! Great sfx and gfx. Although a little buggy a great concept that deserves to be played and further developed.

tankete 2013-05-03 09:14

Original idea. Really liked the style. Well done!

tcstyle 2013-05-03 20:10

Fun little game. Did I get stuck in an endless winning screen?
Great sound and graphics. Controls copuld be improved (jumping was not so intuitive and zxc is bad for German keyboard layout where y is the z)

shellfishgames 2013-05-06 14:48

I like it. It might lack a little polishing here and there (especially the fighting), but all in all it's a nice minimalist take on "save the princess"-style adventure games.

sebastian 2013-05-06 14:48

Interesting idea, one thing that I didn't like was that you had forwards momentum when jumping even if you weren't moving originally. That just made it somewhat unintuitive for me..

pentaphobe 2013-05-07 16:22

great work, a little hard to see why you die or how I beat the boss, but very enjoyable!

ethankennerly 2013-05-09 05:10

Seeing the character traverse from one side of the line to the other to dodge obstacles and combat amused me. If you continue to develop this, have you considered exploring the other illusions of the line a little more?

casimps1 2013-05-09 06:07

Very cool art and theme! A game made up of one-line - love it! Did seem a little buggy when I got to the princess. Still great though!

euwaku 2013-05-09 06:25

Good memories that was this spanish cartoon (la linea?). Never thought of a game adaptation but this game was pretty well done! Too short maybe ^^

lythom 2013-05-09 07:54

Nice entry, could be very good with more polish and less bugs ! Keep the creative, improve the tech., and you'll make great games !

numpad 2013-05-09 09:43

Good! Awesome idea with this line. Sadly, there were many bugs. And it was short. But the graphics were nice!

galman 2013-05-09 10:19

Really cool idea! The game was a bit too short..

bobiniki 2013-05-09 10:30

Awsome style and great idea. Overall very nice entry!

goerp 2013-05-09 11:35

Wow, 5 stars for graphics. That style is really nice and really wel done!
And nobody else did a minimal style like this I think.
The game worked well for me so I think you know HaxeFlixel well enough.

minionstudios 2013-05-09 15:45

Great and original game! Love it

madball 2013-05-09 19:38

This is quiet cool. The first jump is a little bugged, and... well, you know you have bugs. Make a post-compo or something!

zccc 2013-05-09 20:48

Great idea :)

kill0u 2013-05-11 00:13

Another Haxe game :)
Great game btw.

Jeremias 2013-05-11 07:58

Very interesting concept, sadly not that much content... why not making a post-compo version with more levels?

ahm99 2013-05-15 01:33

Cool idea. I really liked the concept. I think you could make a full game. Good job :)

sylvain-p 2013-05-15 15:46

Good idea, but the control mapping is a bit disturbing.
