Giving me a kind of Tim & Eric Awesome Show Great Job vibe with this one.

The big stones are really unfair :(

Good Game :)

Quite difficult but games have been lacking that for a while. It was fun played several times trying to beat my best.

dvigubaipiktas 2013-08-26 16:51

This game is a little bit hard for me.

bjeaurn 2013-08-26 16:52

Pretty fun, interesting "style" haha. Had a good laugh. Kinda difficult as well which I like :).

zedutchgandalf 2013-08-26 16:54

It looks kinda buggy at times. But other than that, nice job! :)
I really love the character sprite (if you can call it that :P).
I take it's inspired by Bit.Trip Runner? :)

Reminds me of Robot Unicorn Attack. I'm so bad at that game - and yours as well :D

A pretty weak take on the Rainbow Unicorn-style game. The player should be further to the left of the screen instead of squarely in the middle so that you can see the obstacles sooner and react instead of memorize the level layout. The graphics and music are very rough, and the controls don't feel great. The theme could have been implemented more interestingly, but at least it's present. Overall, not very engaging and doesn't bring much of anything new to the table.

Fun but too hard.
A quick amelioration would be to make the space bar trigger the next try as well. Having to take the mouse just to start again makes it less addictive.

Interesting... though the controls didn't feel that responsive being that even the smallest touch of the jump button made him soar haha. But otherwise great art style!

I think if you're gonna make a game really hard, then you have to make it really easy to play again. Using the mouse to hit a play again button then, another button at a different location makes it unnecessarily frustrating.

I thought the sprite was interesting. It kind of looked like a real person, like what they did in the original mortal kombat. I liked the look of the rainbow also.

Nice :D I wish he had a jump pose

ghostik 2013-08-26 21:41

Nyan man! :D

andwhatnot 2013-08-26 21:56

Yeah rainbows and puppies. Those are things that I like.

static-64 2013-08-26 22:26

Fun, but it's frustrating to die by hitting a wall when there's another layer of ground below you.

blooperly 2013-08-26 23:38

Doesn't make much sense, but pretty fun! Haha good job.

2013-08-27 02:13

Pretty fun! Played through a few times, love the look!

triplevisiongames 2013-08-27 19:18

I love Robot Unicorn and this has a similar vibe. Fun and I like the music

puck6633 2013-08-29 07:34

Very cute. I like the idea of taking photos and stitching them together as a sprite for the competition. The gameplay is also quite solid, which is important. Just a couple of things:

It's not immediately apparent that bushes will stop you, which is not a big deal considering the short life cycle of the game, but it's something to consider.

It's also not clear that the black rocks are destructible. I understand now that the cracks are meant to convey this, but they really just look like part of the texture. Adding a large throbbing "X" over the rock would help convey the idea that you have to dash into it.

Keep up the good work. I hope to see you at #28!

bitserum 2013-08-29 15:07

Simple and fun. Good job with the rainbow!

zap 2013-08-29 15:09

Very similar to RobotUnicorn Attack yet doesn't add anything new. Also, very difficult.
Nice character sprite though :)

roybatty 2013-08-29 18:09

Yeah, I was going to ask who the sprite was!

I haven't played any of these newfangled "other runners" the kids are talking about up in these comments, but I did enjoy running in this game and I am roughly aware of the rainbows shooting out of one's back as running occurs being a thing.

I'd say 48 hours well spent!

The music is a bit annoying. I've seen some platforms disappear.

cwkx 2013-09-15 13:14

Loving the nyan effect xD
