This is hands-down the most fun and addicting game to come out of the whole competition so far.

this is pretty fun

This is minimalism, for sure. Simple but addictive.

This is really nice but some sfx would have made a world of difference.

ernyz 2013-04-29 14:58

Fits the theme just perfectly, good job :)

Really, really good. I love the side vs front mechanic and how you have to make that lane decision VERY quickly. It can be pretty intense!

Bonus minimalism points for the 2 color graphics and narrow playfield (I did the same thing with my entry).

Great game. Could've used some SFX at minimum. But still great game.

Really enjoy this. At first I was playing it like a survival game, which was satisfying in its own right, but once I discovered the ability to destroy the obstacles, it really impressed. The game is beautiful and constrained in really interesting ways. Great application of the theme.

GAH! Can't.... Stop.... Playing!

Really good take on paring a game mechanic down to its minimum. Thanks!

I don't quite get how scoring works for some reason. One time I got a score of 1, and the rest I got 0.

It's a surprisingly fun lane changer game, and really compelled me to play on for longer than I'd have suspected.

Surprisingly addictive, and you were spot on with the theme! The graphics were a little jerky sometimes.

thank you all for the nice comments! sorry it doesn't have sound. i couldn't make my own music because it would have been bad, and i think any sounds i added would either make it feel empty or prevent you from playing you're own music over it.
also, note that the first comment is from like halfway through the first day.

@recursive frog: there's basically no chance you'll see this because there's no real reply function, but were you destroying the obstacles? if you are and it's not working, please tell me what browser you're using and such.
oh dang i used "you're" instead of "your"

Played some slightly similar games like this already... But you have a very nice personal touch with the graphics + the front/side touch makes this a different game. Nice work!

haversack 2013-04-30 16:08

I love it! I feel like it would be right at home on a graphing calculator! SFX and music would have made this an absolute winner for me!

Minimal window, minimal controls, minimal sign, nice art...
I like this idea of destruction conditions to score.
Good work!

Minimalism at it's finest. Takes some skill to create a game this fun and yet so simple. Love the "any key" game controls. Also love the pseudo 3D effect with the "vehicle" as it switches lanes. Great work, @syre!

juniorus 2013-05-01 09:50

Simple and short but addictive; The "press any key" is a clever idea!

puzzlem00n 2013-05-01 22:24

It's okay. To be quite honest, it didn't hold my attention for that long, I guess I just don't get addicted to things like everyone else here. But you definitely get a good theme score, very nice.

syre 2013-05-02 07:15

a note: varr knows me irl and made an account just to post that. i did not ask for that.

ragzouken 2013-05-02 22:48

You get a hell of a lot out of the minimal graphics - impressive. A sound effect for the smashing would have made it feel so much more alive.

yakka 2013-05-04 10:34

Simple but good :)

justinmullin 2013-05-07 19:47

Super fun, solid entry, and about as minimal as you can possibly get. Very nice.

georgebroussard 2013-05-20 20:26

Neat little game. Simple mechanics and decent presentation. Liked it.

How the hell to start playing? I clicked "web" nothing loads in my browser (already tried chrome and firefox). I clicked source - 404 not found!
