Wish there was a reset button. At one point I managed to dodge a block after I'd died. When the camera began moving, it was very frustrating because everything was grey. I think some basic diffuse lighting and a bit of camera work could make it entertaining. Maybe some "whoosh" sound effects.

agree with reset button. when view changes I can't see well where I am. but I enjoyed it!

Seems that after I die twice, the game just freezes. I agree with lulzfish_4 about some diffuse lighting, or maybe an orthographic view. Hard to understand shape in perspective with no lighting.

I didn't find how to reset the game after dying.
It's regrettable that there is no ending screen when we reach the end of the level. I think an infinite level with random patterns would have been better.

About as minimalist as you can get, good job.

Nice way of showing that there are collectibles. Too bad it doesn't show a score. An infinite level would also be better. On my second try when I died, I had to refresh the page to restart the game. Could be a nice game if worked more on though.

Thanks for the feedback so far everyone. Unfortunately I didn't get to fix the respawn properly so refreshing the page will restart totally. You can checkout my timelapse here if you're interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3TUi_KQXIw

Occasionally seem to have barriers on both sides at the same time :P

can we have a light source please? ^^

I'm not sure if I'm missing something. So, controls are up/down (took me a few deaths before I figured it out). I got all the speed-up objects, avoided all the triangles, but then, I just drift off into space? I go past a giant block, then I see ramps (that I can't get on), and then...nothing?

crefossus 2013-04-29 17:15

You're not, that's it. I had a lot of other plans but they didn't make it in. The ramps and giant block were both (different) plans to reverse you but thought up too late. In retrospect should have just said win/end/etc at the end there ... in any way possible.

The mechanic was extremely simple, yet pretty fun. I do think it could have been a bit longer, though.

Cool start. Liked the speeder uppers. Would love more work on art or hints. Good start.

It was tough to play due to the flat colours and the camera angles, pretty stylish though
