Looks interesting but I can't really play it. Both the download and web versions don't seem to be work. In no stage did "Q-E" change what character I had selected, so stage 4 seemed impossible.

Funky and gunky.

drabiter 2013-04-29 07:44

Played until level 4, where there is one only blue but unreachable jump.

gmaker 2013-04-29 08:01

the blue one can use acceleration (pushing enter) and it increased Y velosity when jump. You can run and jump straigth under lava

Cool idea, but the controls felt a bit weird and I couldn't get past level 4.

mrspeaker 2013-04-29 09:44

Those graphics. Just awesome! I love that lil' dude.

Very nice job with the artwork!

caranha 2013-04-29 13:38

Heh, these creatures are adorably ugly :-)

You had a very nice idea - the responsiveness of the controls could use a bit of work, but I think you are on the right path!

Also, there is a "bug" in the game: when you die, you get stuck and cannot restart. It would be nice if dying brought you back to the title screen, or a level selection screen.

I got stuck on the second level with the three Snobits, where blue just can't reach AND break the "cell" where green is locked.

Cheers!

You can any time you want restart level (press key 'R')

gmaker 2013-04-29 15:12

Thanks for your comments ^_^ i glad to read so nice reviews

fishbrain 2013-04-29 16:43

Cute sprite.

fenriswolf 2013-04-29 17:44

I got stuck at level 4 too. Really creative idea though, and lots of fun. Love the looks of the characters

Looks interesting, but I don't get the controls.

snoringfrog 2013-04-30 06:31

Didn't particularly enjoy this one. I think it was mostly the bubble mechanic that killed it for me, it was just too difficult to control accurately.

szedouu 2013-04-30 09:57

aha awesome graphic, and funny game... love dead sound

kyyninen 2013-04-30 10:01

I won! The game brought back pleasant memories of DOS gaming era, particularly Lost Vikings and Lemmings. Though bubble guy's ability becomes pretty much useless when you control more than one dude, since you can bootstrap them across any height and distance: <a href="http://imgur.com/WKgSaRj">http://imgur.com/WKgSaRj</a> Just make them stand on each other and jump with the lowest snobit, and avot: grafity defied.

Nice game i really enjoyed it! Well done :)

messiano 2013-04-30 18:12

Great concept, control is still a but sluggish but is a very nice 48hr prototype.

comrad_gremlin 2013-04-30 18:17

Really liked the concept. Good job, man :)

gmaker 2013-04-30 18:26

Thanks =)

gokuhd 2013-04-30 18:46

Very nice concept, it looks like you really thought about the puzzles, good job :.

tentontoon 2013-05-01 05:52

I really dig the "Lost Vikings" vibe of this game, but the controls need some tweaking for the game to be fully enjoyable.

Also, I think it doesn't fully embrace the theme, having to control up to 3 characters - it seems more old-school than minimalist to me.

Congratulations! :)

crazygage 2013-05-01 06:17

interesting concept, but I just couldn't get past the controls. It was a lot of effort just trying to figure out how to work it.

dustystylus 2013-05-01 09:51

Controls are a bit wierd, but the snobits are nicely designed!

john_conder9 2013-05-01 23:32

Fun game but I got stuck on the level where I was supposed to go up in the top middle bit. I'm not sure, I think it had to do with the bubbles but I couldn't quite get it :x

hegemege 2013-05-01 23:45

Sometimes the bubbles would escape from under the dudes feet and rise in the air, thus making it kinda frustrating at times :P

Cool concept though, but felt a bit glitchy at times. Controls were fine in my opinion. Nice graphics too, those small feet :)

zim-the-fox 2013-05-02 00:08

Fisrt of all: Thank you for commenting on my game! :3

The bubble guy was kind of frustrating and I didn't finish the game, but the levels were well designed around their abilities and that is awesome. And the little... snobits are so ugly I can't help but like them.

nanolotl 2013-05-02 03:35

I ended up giving up in the 2nd level as I couldn't understand how the bubbles worked. Sometimes they were solid and sometimes they were not...

juaxix 2013-05-02 08:27

The new lost vikings with the shape of potatoes :D
So cool inventive deserve +5 innovation :)
good development sir

netmute 2013-05-03 19:57

I don't have Java installed, sorry :(

rafaelsales 2013-05-03 21:20

Cool game. Lost Vikings feelings!! Congratulations dude!

tankete 2013-05-04 05:21

Fun game, but I didn't understand the instructions so it took me a bit to figure it out. Sounds could have been a bit more subtle. Q-E didn't really do anything for me. And the up arrow didn't jump. I had a hard time with the bubble.

Love these lil creatures! Really fun and wild.

lightnarcissus 2013-05-15 13:18

Fun little game with cutesy aesthetics. Mechanics are simple enough to go well with the theme.
