I am impressed. Excellent, artistic use of the theme. Strangely felt like I was creating art as it progressed. Might be neat if some of the cells took on different sizes. Very neat idea!

Getting a red jumper stuck on a blue box is kind of annoying.

Too much quick reaction for me. Sounds very interestong, but I didn't get it :(.

haha this is awesome, but it ramps up to impossible too quickly. stagger the introduction of the higher ramps for a more gentle learning curve!

it's really a pretty brilliant design, though.

Very cool idea, I've never seen it before! Takes a while to get used to and in my case it degenerated into a bout of fitfull clicking. But still, I like the idea!

Are the runners supposed to sometimes get stuck on hurdles of their color or lower? That seems to happen sometimes.

I really like the idea of the game, and the way you have to spread you attention all over the place. I never really felt like I was going to lose all of the runners (since I could just click to get another one) but I did feel concerned about individual runners.

My high score is 224.

That was spammy :D

Although it became a bit boring after a few minutes, and then it took like 5 minutes for the last 3 red runners to die. But extremely cool and original concept, well fitting the theme :)

The concept is brilliant, really original. Congratulations!

Perhaps I just didn't get to play enough to see them, but are all the runners of the same type? If so, maybe adding some variety could add more flexibility without detracting from the core experience.

This. This game is what Ludum Dare is about. Amazing. Only thing that would've made this nice is a way to see how I was doing as I try different strategies so I would get feedback on how those strategies were doing (like "points per minute").

Very minimalist, yet still fun! Things can get crazy very quickly!

hopps 2013-05-02 20:16

Needed to click so fast :D Very original and fun to try!

I really liked the way how more and more screens kept appearing. Good mechanic!

badlydrawnrod 2013-05-02 21:24

Very clever. Gets quite frantic.

tankete 2013-05-04 08:31

Very unique idea. I enjoyed it, but never really learned the strategy. High Score: 56 :(

It was a little frustrating seeing my super awesome jumpers get stumped by a blue hurdle, but overall this is a great and really innovation game!

Final score: 280. Fun!
