Love it. Really soothing and looks fantastic.
The graphics for this are seriously amazing! I think I may try a hand-drawn sketch look for my next Ludum Dare, it looks awesome! :)
Quite a hard game as well. Not sure about the replay value. Maybe if the map had more variation / random generation or something. But hey, that graphics make it impossible to criticize.
Good graphics, good audio. A suggested improvement would be to let the player control the speed a bit more. Accelerating forward increases the general environment speed, which enables you to skip the empty portions.
I love the look, and the game is suitably frustrating - picking up oil is a bit like playing an endless runner version of Lunar Lander :)
I love the graphics :)
Wow, this game is very good looking. It's very fun, too, but somewhat frustrating.
Great music, gorgeous graphics. Really nice style to it, and it's fun too.
Impressive visual style and animations!
Awesome. I LOVE the graphical style and music. Pretty fun to play.
Excellent job. The visuals are spot on for my tastes! Had some real rage inducing balloon rides where I just missed some oil barrels. Well done :0)
I love the feel of this game. All the elements of the game merge together very nicely.
Fantastic game! Really great sound, and I loved the art style. Although, I sometimes found the camera to move a little slowly.
Graphics and audio were the best part of this game. Wasn't really that fun to play but I loved the style! (maybe cause I'm a sucker for steampunk or 1910s games)
Interesting twist on lunar lander that fits perfectly with the theme. The rough hand-drawn artwork actually works well with this game giving it an 1800's type of adventure feel.
Those are some impressive graphics and audio. I'm a little curious as to why I lose speed when I accelerate in an up/forward direction.
Looks beautiful, especially the explosion!
Feels good. So so good. I always love a mouse-only based game.
I don't always leave comments, but when i do... That's really-really stylish. Good work.
Really nice and efficient graphic identity.
Took me some time to understand control.
really nice !
Hard! But every death is enjoyable :)
The game has a great mood but I don't know how to rate this since the mood can be conveyed by the music...
Overall: amazing! I assume maximum 1 hour of gameplay, but after that, it may be boring. Perfect for an LD48 game anyway! 4/5
Innovation: runner game with limited resources. Not that limited usually, but concept is pretty simple. 2/5
Fun: Absolute joy, but exponentially decreasing by the time. Keeps me playing anyway. 3/5 (but 4 also wouldn't be too much)
Theme: perfectly covers the first thought of people about "10 seconds". 5/5
Graphics: no way to give less than the max! This pencildrawn-style is perfectly awesome no matter that either if you actually did it by hand or in computers. I loved it even in Machinarium. 5/5
Audio: no matter where did you get it, still fits to the game. Other sounds are also good. No reason to give less than the max. 5/5
Humor: I can't see any of them in it. 1/5
Mood: steampunk. With pencil graphics and violin music. No need to say anything else. 5/5
Amazing job with the art in this one :)
Thanks everyone! I'm due home tonight so I'll get playing your entries then. There's some cool looking games out there :D
Great graphics. The little details like the reflection do matter.
I realy like hand drawn games :D, nice explosions and good music that set the mood
Best looking game I've played so far for sure. And pretty difficult too!
Love the graphics and simplicity of this
Very pretty and my new favourite take on free runners. Once you learn to plan ahead, take things slow and remain nice and level; this becomes an incredibly relaxing free runner.
Regardless of the music source, the sound effects were chunky and satisfying, the game has a fairly strict difficulty cliff and, once figured out, doesn't get much harder. Perhaps more variety.
None the less, beautiful game, very relaxing, if developed further I would love to play this on a phone, I'd buy the finished version of this. It's a great 5 minute time killer.
Awesome grafics, i love it!
Very very nice ! I like everything, specially the music and the graphics, fantastic !
Awesome, I got to 2000 feet!
I know the music fits, but it's still unfair to those who create their music themself. Frankly, since you used incompetech, IMO you should have entered this entry as Jam version :P
my audio score is therefore only based on the sounds
the graphics are great though
Wow. That SPLODIN' animation !!
This looks gorgeous. The balloon feels nice. Understandable lack of variation in the terrain, given the time restraints. Actually think this might be more fun as a vertical Balloon Trip / Lunar Lander hybrid? Go higher and higher, see weird Laputa-type things, collect hard to reach fuel?
Would have enjoyed the bombast of the music a bit more if the song would have started over when setting out, and if there was a nice, chill "you're planning your expedition" song, or a "wow that didn't work out" song inbetween trips.
Nice, I really love the pace of the game and the hand drawn artwork. I got 822ft, but that's only 'cause there are so many to rate, will come back later. :-)
Wow, I love the artwork.
Good work, simple and amazing graphics. Flash rulez!
Thats really cool, love the art, really well done! a lot of fun too!
Unbelievable! Nicely done and fun.
I feel like this game would make an amazing android... The game is brilliant. I love it.
Nicely done, the graphics are very simple and cute. I found it hard to play though and I think it`s an obvious application of the theme 10 seconds...
Looks really great.
Sounds really great.
Plays really great.
I hope you continue to develop it in the October Challenge
Gorgeous graphics and fun gameplay. Nice job
Great game!
Fantastic art and audio! Incredible! Pretty fun too, but takes awhile to warm up to the mechanics.
A maser piece :D
This is my favorite game so far. Too bad I can't vote.
The art style is simply amazing. I love the sketched feel. The game required thought and the level of creativity shows. Nicely done!
This is beautiful visually and auditorily great job :D
Great graphics !
You are not allowed to use music somebody else made in the 48 contest :/
But it's still a great game, love the graphics!
Nothing special, but very beatiful. You're pretty good :) Hope to see your next game :)
2396 ft. in the first play.. then I've dozens where I didn't made even one thousand :D
This is a fantastic game. fits perfect.
Outstanding!
Hello! I am making a sort of compilation of all the games I can. Your game is featured in this video! http://youtu.be/jImRVKjejj4
awesome visual style
The graphics are so awesome, I love the style. Love it.
Very stylish... nicely drawn explosion.
for me the best looking game so far, hands down ;)
The textured paper is really a nice touch.
Fantastic aesthetics - so much attention to detail. Would give more feedback but I have to go play it some more.
8546ft! Beautiful looking and sounding game! Love the style!
The gameplay itself is pretty bland though. game proceeds slow, and the only obstacles are icebergs. The game is stunning visually, but needs much more objects and hazards to stay interesting to play.
Thanks for the comments everyone! I'm want to play, rate and comment at least 500 games this year, then I'll start working on a more interesting version of this after the voting has finished - I spent most of the time getting the feel right on the balloon and polishing once I'd got the basic gameplay in, then I ran out of time!
Also PRO TIP #2 = remember you can still move back if you overshoot slightly. Just make sure the mouse is all the way left to get the most sideways movement that way!
*FANTASTIC* visuals, think it's the best visual implementation of the hand-scribbled style I've ever seen.
Amazing graphics, simple but good gameplay, didn't get the theme though..
Aw man, this looks amazing. The gameplay is basic but personally I enjoy that, plus for the vibe of the game it really fits.
Simple and amazing!
5/5 for the audio. The game use simple mechanics but it's very addictive.
Such a happy, great-looking game :D
The difficulty curve was, well, more like a difficulty very-high-step-and-then-just-flat-ground since after I managed to grab the first oil drum I could pretty much keep going as far as I wanted.
That was great, really like the artistic style.
Great sound, graphics, gameplay, all great. Had a hard time getting oil, but I guess this is a good thing =)
the aesthetic and atmosphere were superb. awesome music, too!
Nice artstyle and game-idea!
And I wondered if that was a KevinMcLeod-track :P
5 stars for graphics and mood!
great graphics great music
good job
Graphics are nice and music is fitting, even though it's not yours.
Really beautiful, but really hard too ! I think that when you raise the graphics quality like you did, you need to make the game easier ! I would have love to go further, but getting only one of the oil barrel is so damn hard ! In the end, I felt a little frustrated because it is lovely and I can get further !
I liked the graphics, sound and gameplay, but it's not very original...
Just wow!
I love the sketchy art style and the background music :)
Very nice presentation!
A little too hard to refuel, I think.
Nice work!
This game impression me a lot! Epic sound! Graphic is pretty cool too! Good luck!
just fantastic graphics but very had to control -- nice effort
Wonderful entry. Love the style, hand-drawn art, and the simple but challenging gameplay!
Good work! great graphics
I loved the art, really nicely drawn.
To call this game "polished" would be an insult. This game is a masterpiece! The art is beyond words! It is so simple yet so great. I can't get the stupid oil though. Music was amazing, collision detection was spot on. Amazing work for such a small amount of time. Keep it up! 9.5/10
Very cool visuals but the game begins to get boring after a while.
Very nice hand-drawn art!
