I cannot run this entry because there does not appear to be a link to the game.

sanctuaryinteractive 2013-04-30 01:52

Sorry, the link has been added now.

Seemed fun what I played but it had trouble loading and seemed to freeze up on spots.

other than the fact that you can spawn in walls, pretty fun.

I really like this game's style, and the puzzle designs are well designed for the game mechanics. Sometimes you get stuck in a wall when you spawn though...

@MemphisTen, you may have to lower your security when it comes to java or accept the java run popup.

@tacograveyard, we have noticed the freezing and are looking for the solution at the moment.

We temporarily rolled back our game to an older but stable build of the game while we figure out why the game breaks.

A well completed product with art and controls but I didn't feel the design was particularly interesting.

I liked it, its very challenging, reminds me of the old Helicopter Game :)

Nice visual style, I like the minimal parallax scrolling background. Game mechanic reminds me of VVVVVV ;)

Very cool idea! The randomly generated levels keep it fresh and the visuals are all consistent and clean. Good work, all around.

Very nice! Really difficult, the best I could do was 18. Sometimes it spawned me inside a wall, but for the most part it worked great.

Will not play for me. Chrome said it's because java needs a 64 bit browser which it is not, so I tried safari and it just didn't work.

Really cool game. It sort of has a nice atmosphere, but it is bloody difficult, especially for me who is generally useless at this type of game.

It is also really nice to see a fellow Java entry. Kudos!

Both versions worked fine for me running Oracle Java 7 on Linux, even tho tend to be dead throughout most of the "unstable" one. Did not see any freeze or crash. :)

You might wanna consider adding a loading screen tho. I was almost confident that it was broken when the screen was just white for the first 20 seconds. It wasn't until I activated the Java console that I realized that it was actually doing something.

Also, maybe it'd be better to look for a smart place to spawn the player rather than always the center of the screen? I keep spawning inside the ground or on top of spikes cuz I'm impatient. :)

Cool visual. It's easy to play player by not requiring player repeat a section.

grambler1 2013-05-02 15:04

The visuals were great, but the 'chiptune soundtrack' was kinda dull, could you have done better?

ernyz 2013-05-02 15:04

Reminds me of gravity guy. Like the artwork, it really fits the theme. On the other hand, once the gravity is changed, squares speed increases a bit too fast, at least for me :)

Sadly I just saw a white screen when I tried to start it. :( I'll try it again in some days. :) Maybe it's just a server issue.

I really like the graphics and color palette.
