This is really cool! It is hard to balance the mouse and where you are jumping. It is challenging, but it also is easy to pick up and understand. Good job.

I really liked the yells the guy makes when you fall. The game is pretty hard I wish there was a lower difficulty level, but such is life and that's what I get for sucking at platformers. It was a pretty good idea I must say. But tricky to get the hang of good game overall.

P.S. Was on the leaderboard for a little bit with 10 meters ( I did make it further but forgot to post the score.)

Verrazano: Thanks for your comment!
You know, I think nowadays games are way to easy. Look at all those hollywood production games. They look like a freaking hollywood movie and basically all you have to do is "Press X now!".
I believe games have to be difficult and challenging, since that's the real purpose of computer games. Look at all those old games, they were all (stupidly) difficult and I spent so much time mastering them. :)

Wow, this is crazy! I have to do two things at once--I'l have to practice this :)

Great graphics, and cool idea.

eolhing 2013-08-26 15:32

Really nice game. It's pretty addictive.

skarab 2013-08-26 15:42

I really enjoy it :) Crazy and addictive.

stenol 2013-08-26 15:43

Really cool game ! It's hard but it's fun !

joxno 2013-08-26 15:45

Awesome! Trying to make your character movement sync up with where you place your blocks is difficult but oh so enjoyable!

cwkx 2013-08-26 16:16

Awesome little game, I found myself spamming the mouse, with the cursor positioned just offset to the right-upper, instead of placing carefully - is this the intended playstyle? Great stuff though!

gikdew 2013-08-26 16:17

I really like the graphics, they seem like "Fez" by Phil Fish for me, really cool!

sgehlich 2013-08-26 16:34

cwkx: No it's not, it's some kinda cheaty :P But I found this out way too late.

necmelt2006 2013-08-26 16:47

That cool, the contol is difficult but cool :)

cschwartz 2013-08-26 18:12

I think its a very good sign that I like the game even though I suck at it.

cosmos 2013-08-26 18:13

It's really difficult but a lot of fun! Beautiful art style c:

gbear605 2013-08-26 18:15

Quite good, very difficult though.

spiralcodestudio 2013-08-26 18:15

Wow! Great graphics and controls!

Speed is too high though. Idea is great!

emveyh 2013-08-26 18:16

Great game, it was really fun :)

Spotline 2013-08-26 18:22

Great idea, great polish ! :o

carlsommer 2013-08-26 18:52

Brilliant game! It continues to be fun after several play throughs!

clurect 2013-08-26 19:24

I think this is really fun. It is challenging, but I want to play it over and over again.

I wish it didn't go so fast at the beginning. Having it start out a bit slower and get faster the farther you get would help me get into it better. I like how you mashed 2 unrelated styles and made a game from them. Nice graphics and ambient audio sounds. Pressing space to retry would be better than having to press 'R' IMO as I was having to do that alot. Quite a fun game.

jacob123 2013-08-26 20:38

This game made me really angry. I never actually lasted the ten seconds till I got a power-up. Good concept nonetheless. It had one of my favorite games!

tifu 2013-08-26 21:02

Sometimes blocks seemed to not place, resulting in my untimely death :( Nice idea, love graphics, I am terrible at this though :P

sgehlich 2013-08-26 22:52

Tifu: That's a bug, hope this didn't affect your gaming experience too much :)

ihateatmfees 2013-08-27 03:52

Neat idea and nice art style. Very challenging!

timtipgames 2013-08-27 06:14

I liked the mechanic a lot! It was really difficult in the beginning but I found myself learning it faster than expected. Very nice atmosphere. Well done!

hypnohustla 2013-08-27 10:54

Really cool and innovative game. Loved the mini-map at the bottom. It's the little things that make a good game. And this was really good :)

glockenspiel 2013-08-27 21:32

At first i was like, this is really hard and i can't multitask, but then i got the hang of it and boy did i love it. Its really addictive. If i had it on my phone i'd play it when ever i get bored especially during breaks in college

alwaysinbeta 2013-08-27 23:31

Great game! Brutally hard. Very addictive.

valerien 2013-08-28 11:18

The controls are slick and responsive, the game is challenging but not too hard, and the concept feels fresh. Good job !

flavio 2013-08-28 12:32

Tough but funny game !
I liked it a lot ! :)
I need to stop playing it because it's my launch pause at work, but I'll go back !
Thanks for it !

teambob 2013-08-29 12:47

this is epic! really good idea, i love it

ratalaika 2013-08-29 17:17

good job

manoloko 2013-08-29 23:13

My favorite game in this Ludum Dare so far. I always like the idea of mixing game concepts, this one makes a crazy mix and it makes it work. Very hard though.

badgerpriest 2013-08-31 00:45

Awesome game, a great twist on a classic. It's so hard though! Even without the powerups, placing blocks while jumping is very challenging. I have no idea how the people have gotten to >=1000m.

ithildin 2013-08-31 01:11

I love the idea. The first retries were a bit frustrating, but you end up getting the hang of it, and then we have a great piece of hardcore fun.
Great job! :)

rodrigo-robles 2013-09-01 14:50

Awesome! Great design, graphics and playability. Of course starting easy and slowly raising the difficulty would be better.

rincewind_cz 2013-09-03 20:59

Nice, it's hard (but I played it with touchpad, so maybe that's the problem :-).. Anyway, the idea is hilarious, good job!

alexfili 2013-09-05 20:18

This is really hard but it's also challenging and a lot of fun. The powerups are great and make an already great game even more great!

linuus 2013-09-07 15:16

Amazing.. I hatelove it XD

manuq 2013-09-10 02:54

This is really cool, I love mastering the controls.. but maybe I stop fighting with my trackpad and find a usb mouse :P

motty 2013-09-11 02:38

Really great effort. Really hard for me - I'm terrible at this kind of game - but still fun even so.

urfoex 2013-09-15 08:56

Challenge accepted!
Really nice one.
