Tough little game! I like the challenge and concept though. Maybe add the "R to replay" to the instructions text as the in-game pixel font looked a bit like P at first.

Great little game.
Very simple but somehow more complex and original than the tipical endless runner.
With some sound would be a lot better.
I want this game on my android !!!
simple but solidly produced. Really looks like something from the DOS era I think.
Tiny little Unity camera! Chrome resizes it just fine though, so I zoomed in to make the pixels a bit more readable on my 1080p display.
It's the times where I have to switch colors twice while sliding under a wall that tend to end my runs.
Part of me wishes that I could see two barriers ahead instead of just the current and the first upcoming one, so I could anticipate what's coming next and get into even more trouble as I over-anticipated and switched too soon. Kind of works against the minimalistic purity of one focus, though.
The timing between the barriers is about perfect, but I'd also almost want them to be more spaced out but everything moves faster, to get a better sense of speed. That would probably work against my sucky reflexes, though.
Pity it doesn't have audio.
Cute and indeed simplistic. Not sure how to handle both obstacles appearing at once.
A minimal clap to you sir. *cl*
It's soooo minimal
It could fit on a wristwatch! It was hard on my tired eyes though. Great game overall
@JonRB, you just have to be jumping/ducking while you are the appropriate color. So, if it's a wall on the bottom with a red force field on top, then you have to be jumping while you are red to match the color of the force field.
Apart from the actual size of the window, this is done well.
Cute! TIP to future players: Just zoom in with your browser and it works great
Good one and fine approach to the theme - to bad there's no sound!
Really simple yet addicting
Pretty nice, very tiny! A little bit bland without sound though. But still pretty cool. Nice one!
Very nice game! Fits the theme perfectly and you still made the game have a nice feel and I feel I could play this a lot on a mobile device. I just wish it had audio.
Nice take on the theme. The matching part is a good feature to avoid getting repetitive too soon. Congrats on this!
I could play this one forever. Really minimal and fun!
creative!
Have you thought about putting this on a Pebble watch?
@Stryphe, I'd love to release this on some kind of platform with a miniature display, but I don't think this would work on Pebble. If I understand correctly, Pebble is based on e-ink (not LCD or LED or whatever). And last I heard, e-ink displays still have pretty horrible refresh rates, and games like this need a high frame rate since things are moving so fast.
Impressive for 7-8 hours work. I liked the death animation.
Turning the comments into a leaderboard got 230: http://puu.sh/2L83U.png
Nice use of the theme. I played a few rounds, and definitely enjoyed myself. I imaging this being a mini-game in warioware type game with similar mini-games.
I was doing pretty good until I had to turn red AND slide at the same time... great entry!
Woa never saw so little Unity player hahaha... nice one, congrats.
Very cool little game! Once I turned some music on it became very addictive (lack of music is my biggest and possibly only criticism).
eedok wants to turn the comments into a leader-board so here we go:
eedok: 230
Sebastian: 402
You certainly earned the weirdest/smallest resolution award for a unity game :D
The size of the game is very amazing and original!

266! Good take on the theme, very challenging having to change colours! :D
Fun and very minimal. Wish it had sounds.
It's really what we can called a small game.
Seems overkill using unity for this, but it's bang on theme haha. Bonus points for the teeny weeny layout. :D It took a while to figure the colour change thing - I kept trying to jump the barriers unsuccessfully. If anything playing through the Ludum entries has taught me, it's that I suck at playing video games.
Loved it =OD
Gratz =O)
Such a great idea. Wish it had a bit of audio, but other than that I flippin' loved it!
Goes with the theme really well. I love the color aspect, it gives it a nice twist. Good job!
Cool! The color-matching mechanic makes the game a lot more interesting than the usual runners!
I liked the vertical runner idea. You could make a solid game out of this with more work and polish. Would work on it more. Drop the Tiny and just make a cool vertical runner?
