Nice mechanic! ..although I'm still not quite sure what is supposed to happen :P

xgeovanni 2013-08-26 19:32

Just because I don't understand what's going on doesn't mean it isn't great.

xgeovanni 2013-08-27 18:33

Alright, I think I get it. The goal is to close yourself in to a box exactly when the spikes come, right?

zlowrance 2013-08-28 01:58

Great looking game, and the music was good. Not sure what the point was, but I tried collecting all the #'s

legacycrono 2013-08-28 02:23

Man you never fail to come up with interesting ideas :D Great game, took me a while to figure out what was going on. I still couldn't figure out how to escape from the spikes though... Good job!

brighterorange 2013-08-28 02:28

Part of the point is to figure out the point(s), so I won't spoil it in here. :) But it's not that abstruse; just don't necessarily trust your game instincts, and do pay attention...

Wow! Awesome graphics and soundtrack. Love how the physics and game rules change every ten seconds. Great work! (Though I must admit that I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do.)

Excellent puzzle platformer, with a truly unique set of mechanics. I finally won, after lots of experimentation. Excellent work on this, and thanks for sharing it!

murilo 2013-08-29 01:53

Very solid stuff here, man! Like the graphics, music and all even though I couldn't quite understand the goal.

kazukishida 2013-08-29 15:02

gerdermit I don't understand it still T___T I'll be back with this! I won't rate it till I understand it!

proc 2013-08-29 23:05

YES! Did it! Took some work but i got there. Very enjoyable little game and I feel the end was a good reward :)

codecranker 2013-08-30 01:58

I got stuck on a platform with two giant bar on each side. They are higher than my jump height. Couldnt do anything after that point other than to restart the game.

The music is good.

snoringfrog 2013-08-30 02:45

Never was able to beat it, but I did really enjoy playing it. If classwork wasn't piling up, I think I'd sit here half the night until I won. Great work!

brighterorange 2013-08-30 03:26

goyal: It should be impossible to get stuck. You should try the Z and X keys (again, I apologize that there is not enough hand-holding in the game. :( )

This isn't T IN Y WORLD.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:03

Despite that flaw, it's still the only entry besides mine that isn't crap for plebs.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:05

Despite that success, this is pretty damn original.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:13

Together we shall overthrow Ludum Dare.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:13

But even if we did, it wouldn't be featured on Indie Statik.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:15

Ugh, I hate businesspeople so much.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:15

We just need to find a third guy who's good at marketing and we might pull it off.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:16

But we can keep him locked in a cage, much like the metaphorical one us suffering artists who don't get recognition for their innovation are in.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:16

innovation are in.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:16

Who said that?

ointment 2013-08-31 23:18

I think it was Point Five.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:19

He's always been such a nuisance. Must be a businessman.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:19

He's not a businessman, he's a business, man.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:20

Nope, still not T IN Y WORLD.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:23

I've lost control of my life.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:24

Better hire POINT ONE HURTS to be in charge of it.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:28

This is what happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wUcV1-gEtA

ointment 2013-08-31 23:34

I like taking photos of the countryside.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:34

But the countryside is sometimes shy and melts away.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:35

Revealing a world of pure insanity and POINT ONE HURTS.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:37

What did the beef chart say to the doctor?

ointment 2013-08-31 23:37

POINT ONE HURTS.

ointment 2013-08-31 23:39

Just so I can fire him in the middle of a recession.

radmars 2013-09-02 19:51

Yes.

radmars 2013-09-02 19:55

Seriously though, I think the theme might be working against you here. I love the idea but 10 seconds is way too short of a time to figure things out, for me it just feels like frustrating trial and error and then you die. Maybe you should add a 20s+ easymode! Awesome music as usual btw.

blackbulletiv 2013-09-03 11:25

I'm not entirely sure what was going. I think I'm meant to collect those numbered blocks. Eventually they stopped spawning entirely though.

Nice music and graphics by the way.

garygreen 2013-09-12 20:21

I wasn't 100% sure about what I was doing and how to move onto the different type of stages, but it was still fun.
