I actually thought this was a great game! I really enjoyed it, even though I died 6 times, and didn't even finish it, I was laughing a lot.

The audio kinda bugged me. Not the sfx, but the music was weird, and I didn't enjoy it

Controls were interesting! I liked the acceleration but felt it was a bit odd to orient myself with the cursor keys

Nice game, the controls are a bit hard but I guess that's part of the idea. Nice level design.

Very funny game, coudn't stop till the end!

My gf loved how the triangle bounces!

it wouldn't finish loading for me. Chrome/Win8 x64

Nice game! Really liked the bouncing walls, it gets very challenging! The audio is also just right!

It took me a while to get used to the controls, but it's a fun game. Many, many, many deaths :). I think the background music volume is too low.

Funny game, very minimal well die ;)

Funny game, very minimal well done ;)

Neat game, controls were a bit hard to get into but I got it at last. :P

Great game. The "bounce" sound is a bit misleading. It sounds more dangerous than it is.

Can't rate audio, sorry (no speakers) Graphics remind me of the old Atari games, ahh nostalgia. Controls are solid once you know what's expected, checkpoints are well integrated and feel natural. Difficulty ramps nicely without being too difficult too soon. Very solid entry, lots of fun!

Was a fun time, liked the ramping in difficulty and the music kept the mood going throughout. Fun little quirks like bouncing around and having an interesting way to move is always fun. The ending... Oh boy.

nice game. except maybe i would appreciate different controls (those where the arrows are relative to your orientation). I died like hundred times and i actually enjoyed it, but it was a little hard sometimes ;)

Nice polished game. You managed to make the minimalist graphics look good.

psenfilip 2013-04-30 15:39

OK after 110+ deaths I couldn't get past a certain level. Blocks kept pushing me away.

So... good use of simple mechanics make this game an engaging experience.
I like it how the rules appear to be evolving in each new room.

The difficulty is right on. It is pretty challenging.
Also, the soundtrack is catchy!

Loved the control, it's so fluid ! Nice game !

zkenshin 2013-04-30 16:31

Quite fun. :)

jellycakes 2013-04-30 17:04

Nicely done, really frustrating in parts but the good kind of frustration! Fun to play keeps you interested too. Nice job!

holofire 2013-05-01 17:52

Fun. Challenging. Awesome. Great job!

hgouveia 2013-05-01 17:53

Simple but clever :D, little hard!, love the minimalist art, and very well made :D

m0n0quartz 2013-05-01 18:05

I love your game! Controls are very smooth and graphics are neat

namkcor 2013-05-02 02:57

Well made, pretty straightforward.

georgebroussard 2013-05-02 07:28

53 deaths. I hope you are happy. /potato. I enjoyed this. Graphics and controls were tight. I'd suggest maybe making the dark green (death area) a different color. Maybe just darker green, if you want to keep it colored vs black. Well polished. Perhaps a room counter or some progress bar so you know how close to the end you are, to incentivize people not to quit?

joe40001 2013-05-02 08:33

I really liked the music, really liked the graphics considering the theme but I kept getting these thin flashing purple lines which bothered me. Still very good game, one of my favorite entries.

cinnamonmelonpig 2013-05-02 13:15

Thanks for the feedback and constructive comments, we appreciate it very much!

alucard-j 2013-05-02 22:40

The controls and wall bounce work great, I would also suggest the dark green areas are changed to a different/darker colour. Music is cool, later levels are merciless. It's good the buttons don't reset. Really enjoyed the challenge, Well Done =]

sudorossy 2013-05-04 19:47

Frustrating, but fun!

fnkee 2013-05-07 19:16

Sweet, finally made it after 49 deaths! Epic ending chiptune in the end (Is that Nightwish or something?). Interesting gameplay, simple yet challenging. I enjoyed it!
