Wouldn't open for me, Console gives a "failed to load resource" error.

chronusz 2013-08-26 04:57

Do you run an adblocker? The game doesn't play any ads, but I've heard that adblockers can cause that problem with certain flash games. Try running the game in another browser or with extensions disabled.

Wow that's difficult!!! Really unique idea though haha I'm not a fan of difficult games but this is really cool :D

raiyumi 2013-08-26 19:26

Gives a blank page for me. :/

maxking1234 2013-08-26 19:27

I just get a blank page too. When I right click it says "Movie not loaded..."

jimanzium 2013-08-26 19:27

Just a blank page for me, using Chrome

doonay21 2013-08-26 19:29

Cool game. Everything worked good on Opera 12.16.

autlos 2013-08-26 19:29

So frenetic and difficult. Good game!

I don't like that shadows at the begining.

grayhaze 2013-08-26 19:30

The game wouldn't load for me in Chrome. :(

reicher 2013-08-26 19:30

I only get beamed up, the guy starts of standing for a second or so. "Other controls are described in-game. ", cant really see that and aswd or arrows are not working=/

samueldivinium 2013-08-26 19:54

Sadly i just see a white page and nothing happens :( I turned off ad-blocker too. I have Comodo Dragon Version 26.0.

pvwradtke 2013-08-27 05:07

Had to play several times until I figured out that I should click inside the window to allow the controls to work. Maybe a simple workaround is to have a title screen asking the player to press something to start playing?

samueldivinium 2013-08-27 08:11

Okay, with the update i finally managed to play the game :) My overall impression: It's so freaking hard!! :D

juaxix 2013-08-27 09:30

There is a lot of good tech in here :)
It frozen inside the first room...I would like to play more

chronusz 2013-08-27 16:57

If I made this game now, I would've had the game paused until the player clicks in the window. When making this, though, I forgot that that's something Flash does, so I didn't think to add something like that :(

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-27 17:50

Don't work in chrome (osx)

chronusz 2013-08-27 18:52

It should work in Chrome regardless of OS. Do you get an error, or just a white screen, or what? Do you have Flash Player installed?

h8urf8 2013-08-27 18:52

Nice idea. But after a while refreshing gets a little bit annoying. ;)

static-64 2013-08-27 19:20

The fact that the game "crashes" is a little frustrating, but it is an interesting idea.

Spotline 2013-08-27 20:41

This game is soooooooo frustrating @_@ Nice concept and levels though :)

fferro234 2013-08-27 20:41

Interesting idea. Very tough though.

udo 2013-08-27 20:41

The game start is problematic, since you have to click on the content area AND THEN start to play the game immediately with the keyboard. I think you should either insert a longer delay there (or a "play!" button), or maybe make HTML page focus on the flash element automatically (should be possible with JavaScript). If you could find a way to fix this, the game will be awesome!

On the whole, I liked the idea and also most of the execution. The sound effects are good and the music conveys the urgency pretty well. I like how the browser's reload button was incorporated into the game play. Good job! :)

berkano 2013-08-27 20:45

Without a doubt one of the most creative and frantic LD entries I've ever played - a real challenge - will keep coming back to this one! Nice work! The crash/state saving mechanic is wicked.

chronusz 2013-08-27 20:46

Is auto-focusing on the element a thing you can do? I'll look into that (Changes concerning the webpage but not touching the gameplay are acceptable, right?)

catmoo 2013-08-27 20:50

Although it seemed to crash very frequently I did enjoy what I managed to play of the game. Punching those enemies is pretty hard!

wertle 2013-08-28 03:46

Nice dynamic shadows!

zillix 2013-08-28 05:19

such a cool concept! would have loved for the game to automatically gain focus on each refresh. I bet your site is getting a lot of hits :D

jod 2013-08-28 17:07

Liked this one. Good music and sounds. And yes, it is incredibly hard. The second dude is an ass! He likes to punch me out of the castle-thing so he and his buddy can gang up on me :).

ken-ichi 2013-08-28 19:38

That's Pretty hard ;p~

megamasterx 2013-08-29 19:55

This was pretty fun! Difficult, but fun.

dudsen 2013-08-29 20:08

Hard Stuff, punched myself through a wall into a pit :D

ratalaika 2013-08-30 16:19

good job

kunonooni 2013-08-30 17:25

Cool concept. The tempo of the music instills the need to rush. very well done!

porglezomp 2013-08-31 14:50

I really like the 10 seconds crashing (probably wouldn't if I played a long time), but the insta-murder guys ruin it for me.

chronusz 2013-08-31 17:40

They aren't insta-murder, you can kill them. It's just like Hotline Miami, the combat is exceedingly quick but you can still win fights.

raiyumi 2013-09-02 07:09

I have no idea what's going on! :P
Has quite a few bugs, but would've been better with a simple start/restart screen.

theholychicken 2013-09-03 03:06

XD you're not kidding about the self destructing part!

zlowrance 2013-09-03 17:10

Good job ;D

gfm 2013-09-10 20:45

The sfx when hitting/being hit was just awesome! xD
