Nice game à la super meat boy ! Music is cool, graphics are nice ! The sound effects are a little bit loud but overall, great game !

juniorus 2013-08-27 07:03

I like that the game continue even if you failed!
Great bouncy audio track!

tanser 2013-08-27 11:28

Very nice graphics and sounds I like it!

wine 2013-08-27 11:35

I died a hundred times ... But there was a lot of fun )
Nice graphics!

Spotline 2013-08-27 11:49

Nice game with awesome graphic style :)

finnegan2100 2013-08-27 12:28

I love countdown + collect platformers like this. Simple + lots of fun! Graphics + music look and sound great!

deammer 2013-08-27 12:34

Convincing graphics, great concept and execution. Controls are super tight on an xbox controller. The fact that you keep going even after failing a level is really cool.

Would adding a "restart level" key break the flow of the game?

lesterpig 2013-08-27 12:54

Nice game but I'm stuck at 0 points o_o

roguenoodle 2013-08-27 12:59

Thanks everyone!

@archaeometrician - Yeah, I agree about the sound effects. Tried it with some different headphones this morning and that airhorn was enough to drive me crazy ;)

@wine - Only a hundred? Great job!

@deammer - I'm glad you got to try it with an Xbox controller - it really does make all the difference. My original goal was to have two game modes - a mode for time trials, keeping track of each level separately, and then the one-shot per level score attack. Only the latter made it in though - ran out of time :P

roguenoodle 2013-08-27 13:00

@Lesterpig - I'm guessing you only have the keyboard to use? Yeah, it's a lot trickier, sorry :( Thanks for trying it though!

roguenoodle 2013-08-27 13:04

Added a play-through video on Youtube for the curious:

Love the art style! Please add gamepad support. Overall, nice job!

zuige 2013-08-27 13:10

Nice little game! :) The xbox controls haven't been mapped for mac unfortunately. There's no jump, but the left stick works. Keyboard worked just fine though. :)

roguenoodle 2013-08-27 13:11

@IHateATMFees - Thanks! Any gamepad in particular? It works great with an Xbox controller on Windows 7, but unfortunately that's as much testing as time allowed for :P

larzan 2013-08-27 13:12

Beautiful, love the grafix, good music, nice one :)

vladimirdlc 2013-08-27 13:12

Interesting graphics, I am curious about your approach to handle deads as you change the level even if you die or fall.
The music good and effects, but maybe changing the pitch or the volume of the louder notes may make it more pleasant.

roguenoodle 2013-08-27 13:12

@Zuige - ah, will see what I can do about the Mac controls. Thanks for checking it out and letting me know!

tigerj 2013-08-27 13:18

I really like the artwork and that the game keeps going and there is no stop in play.

thanks for making.

minionstudios 2013-08-27 13:57

Great design and music! Fun game!

ratking 2013-08-27 18:18

Very cool, very playable platformer. I like the concept with dying and still continuing the levels, but somehow being able to replay a level in the same run would have been nice.

dancingflame 2013-08-27 18:34

Excellent in every aspect! The level design is simple and funny, and sound effects is epic! I really enjoy this game! Well done~

meta87 2013-08-27 20:32

Wow loving this. Great style graphics and a well done platformer! good work :D

otus 2013-08-27 22:48

Nice graphics and soundtrack!
Solid and challenging platforming too!

tifu 2013-08-28 13:23

Very slidy! I think I only reached one level flag using the keyboard, tried again with Xbox pad and did a lot better :D
Though the game lists previous high score as "100,000" and I didn't get anywhere close to that :P

roguenoodle 2013-08-28 13:33

@Tifu - yeah, I messed up the scoring system. I meant to have 10,000 points as the starting point, not 100,000 :P It will start keeping track of your score if/once you get over that, though ;) Thanks for playing!

nddrylliog 2013-08-28 17:42

Pretty much a perfect LD entry for me! Very enjoyable, will try again later with controller. Graded low on innovation but high on pretty much everything else.

Kudos & keep that stuff coming!

the-jahn 2013-08-29 05:04

Pretty smooth controls. Well done.

rein1 2013-08-29 12:19

Very nice graphic and smooth controls~

targaciej 2013-08-29 13:19

Challenging gameplay. Great art and music. Reminds me of super meat boy. Great job!

pinktreeleaf 2013-08-29 16:07

Love the textures and the level design, how they are words. and the fact that when you die you go to a new level. I would maybe slow down things though or make the moving less sensitive, because i could only beat the first level, then kept on repeatedly dying after that.

entity2d 2013-08-29 19:07

I love the graphical style in this game, great work!

folmerkelly 2013-08-30 09:17

Nice, very coherent experience. Oddly enough the first speedrunning based game I've found this compo.

Not sure how I feel about the level switching after death, makes it very hard to progress. Maybe that adds to the overall experience, come to think of it?

pereubu 2013-08-30 21:48

as frustrating and enjoyable as a meat boy. I don't know if the restart countdown is was necessary. In a game where you can die so fast, it's probably more comfortable to restart almost instantly. What's your point of view on that 3: ?

bipolarmike 2013-08-30 22:03

SUPER frustrating controls, man! I don't know if it's me, but I really hated how the character controlled. Otherwise I liked the sounds, visuals, and level designs. Well done for 72hrs, but needed more testing when it came to the control :)

ratalaika 2013-08-31 12:08

good job

hypnohustla 2013-08-31 15:01

Such a well designed game. Not having to try again immediately the same level was such a good choice! Solid controls with very pleasing graphics. Some of the sounds were a bit annoying but I can forgive that when the game is this good. Great job!

antidote 2013-09-03 05:37

I love the graphics :O the texture added a lot to it ^^

jupiter_hadley 2013-09-03 17:31

Very, VERY cute awesome game. I love it. I featured it in my Ludum dare compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp9ky-3J3J4

surrealix 2013-09-04 08:35

It would be cool if you could release a windows version for us poor souls who can't use the web player!

bassarisse 2013-09-05 11:58

Super cool! Loved the music and the sound effects.

seconddimension 2013-09-06 21:29

Love the graphics and fun game play.

imef 2013-09-15 12:26

As archaeometrician has said, it does remind me of Super Meat Boy. It's hard to believe all was made within the 72 hours...

nsadie 2013-09-16 17:08

This was great! Cute graphics, responsive controls. Quite difficult, I am terrible at platformers :(

georgebroussard 2013-09-16 23:14

This game is awesome. Great controls, art, and music! Very very solid entry. Well done.
