It is really addictive. Can't stop playing. :)

orangepascal 2013-04-29 07:34

feels like a two player game? one controls the squirl (?) the other the girl? in any case: interesting game !

Magnus 2013-04-29 07:35

Nice, I wish it had keyboard controls though.

imagnity 2013-04-29 07:37

@Magnus: I know what you mean. Wanted to do it but was so sleepy and just slept at the end. Thanks. :)

imagnity 2013-04-29 07:37

@orangepascal Good idea actually for networking. Thank you.

yozz 2013-04-29 07:39

Cool! Thanks for that game. I`ve seen it at the second day but had no time to play.

jhrrsn 2013-04-29 07:41

Cool! Agree that the desktop ports definitely needed keyboard controls though... Or maybe I just suck?

imagnity 2013-04-29 07:42

@Yozz - Man! Thank you. Appreciate it.

davidemo89 2013-04-29 07:42

Cool runner game and great music! =D

imagnity 2013-04-29 07:43

@jhrrsn - I suck more. It really lacks the keyboard. Thanks. :)

jerrre 2013-04-29 07:44

Best game I played yet, very easy but entertaining mechanic (one might even say ... minimalist)

Good job

BTW for those on OSX10.8 in the terminal
type

cd [folder]
java -jar OktumBoktum_Desktop.jar to start

imagnity 2013-04-29 07:44

@GetFun - Thank you. :)

imagnity 2013-04-29 07:46

@jerrre - I cannot thank you enough. You made my day. And thank you for the OSX note. :)

ilovepixel 2013-04-29 08:02

This is a hard game to play on pc, i'll be testing this on my cellphone. Nice game, I really like runners, and this one has a nice feature.

imagnity 2013-04-29 08:10

@ilovepixel: Thank you.

badlogic 2013-04-29 16:33

Should enable GPU v-synch on the desktop. Neat little game otherwise, controls could have been adapted for desktop.

edocentrique 2013-04-29 17:39

Nice android game !

imagnity 2013-04-29 17:45

@Mario - Enabling doesn't remove the stuttering unfortunately. Tested on Windows XP and Windows 8. Thanks.

alvaroh 2013-04-29 18:16

Very funny!

jwolf 2013-04-30 22:40

Tricky game! I figured I'd quickly get used to the reversed control-scheme, but maybe not.

Overall, it's very well put together. Congratulations on your first entry!

zim-the-fox 2013-05-01 05:26

I was JUST changing the download links to BitBucket... Try downloading my game again, if you want. I'll try yours in a bit :D

crazi456 2013-05-01 05:27

Very amusing game!

tyro 2013-05-01 05:54

'Tis a fun and addictive little minigame. Well done!

_alts 2013-05-01 05:57

Fun game. Impressive how just switching between two colors for two objects can be so tricky. I appreciated the keyboard controls. I wonder if switching the left-right mapping would have made the game any easier.

bigblackbeard 2013-05-01 06:02

Holy s***t, it's addictive !
Thank for this game !

snoringfrog 2013-05-01 08:58

Man, that was actually fairly challenging. I gave up once I finally broke 1000 (just barely...1004), but I really enjoyed this. Very nice entry.

pansapiens 2013-05-01 11:45

Very cute characters - I also like the backgrounds, reminds me of 'Pitfall' but more whimsical. Android version ran very nicely - although I never saw any dual-colour barriers ... maybe I just didn't do well enough to get up to that part.

lekochen 2013-05-01 15:28

Great runner game, very addictive!

zim-the-fox 2013-05-01 20:53

Cooooool!

One of my early ideas was similar to this: You control some kind of ship and you have to change the colour of the screen to the colour of incoming balls (asteroids) to go through them.

It's beautifully done, the music is great and it is VERY addictive. My best so far is 1132.

mollymus 2013-05-02 07:54

Wow! Stressing game! Very simple yet challenging mecahnic!

miro662 2013-05-02 09:13

nice game :)

gamerespect 2013-05-02 12:34

One of the most fun game i've played in this LD. The aesthetic, audio and gameplay are all great, and it really got my brain confused at times. Good job dude!

kyru 2013-05-02 18:45

This is a great game, good simple mechanic that leads to fun gameplay. Great audio too, nicely done all around.

polar 2013-05-02 18:50

Really nice game, although I feel it would be easier on Android - this game feels like it's lending itself towards a two-finger playstyle.

beldarak 2013-05-03 03:21

Awesome music, great art style and clever gameplay. Any way to get that music?

bvanschooten 2013-05-03 23:40

Interesting game, nice music! I found cursor left for the right player and cursor right for the left player counterintuitive. The most successful strategy for me was just to keep both players in the same colour.

ramoncb 2013-05-04 22:35

really addictive and very challenging!

love the music and characters too =)

waschnick 2013-05-06 19:14

Extra credit for LigGDX and the supported platforms :) Great work, simple but fun gameplay.

fnkee 2013-05-07 20:09

Wow, this is game is addictive!! 1570 is my current high score, but I'll have to try again. Great music, sweet characters, and original concept. Good job on this!

juaxix 2013-05-09 20:22

1413 points :)
add more things, like interacting with the fruits of the trees, jumping, monsters, cat special skills, etc.
it looks good, keep up the good work ;)

imagnity 2013-05-09 21:24

@juaxix: Thank you for the nice feedback. Will definitely expand it.

Thanks everyone for playing, rating, and for the nice reviews.

zccc 2013-05-09 21:58

Woah, really hard but addictive :o

ataxkt 2013-05-11 15:01

Really fun! Bookmarked!

phocker 2013-05-15 02:49

this is one of my favorite games from the dare -- nice entry -- gret use of theme and very addictive game

bentog 2013-05-16 21:59

This is the kind of game that would make you rich if you added some features and sold it for $0.99. Awesome!

minionstudios 2013-05-17 00:01

Sweet! The game is fun and pretty hard!

mildmojo 2013-05-17 07:23

I got to 923 by changing their colors simultaneously. My brain couldn't handle left/right mapping to big/small characters. =)

The game animates nicely, and the difficulty ramps up at a good pace.

davidpeter 2013-05-19 22:15

I feel like the controls were reversed, since the cat is in front of the guy running. Fun game, I like the ramp in difficulty :)
