I love the concept of the game! and you introduce it really well to the player, well done!

sxaktosxafo 2013-08-26 01:26

Thank you! :)

Really nice concept :)
The controls were a little sluggish, and I found it a bit confusing in the beginning, but with some polish, this has got potential to be really good!

the background not moving at all bothered me a little, look up parallax scrolling, if it had moved just a little bit, i think the feel would have been improved a lot.

I really liked the concept a lot, great graphics, and controls all worked quite well!

Very well done for so little time. Spikes are my nemesis!

Very good job fellow java'er
Yery Inovative, fun and chalenging
The music it a bit repetitive for my tastes though

Great idea for a game. The concept is really good. Some of the hit detection is pretty rough though, especially with some of the tougher later levels.

Pretty fun. I don't really like "death is useful" kinds of games, though.
"hey hey!"
"hhhh"
Nice debug messages

Yeah a little parallex scrolling and better contrast between the fore and backgrounds would be great. Love the concept! Please make the jumps a little easier for us mere mortals :)

You did a great job with the theme and your mechanic has a lot of potential. The jumping and hitboxes made level 4 a bit frustrating, though.

Fun and original! Great concept

I get an error saying that the security options have blocket the app from running, so I can't play..

The background was really disorienting. But still a cute little platformer with some nice gameplay mechanics. Nice job.

Nice ideas in here. It kinda feels like this game was more for "death is useful" than for 10 seconds, but that's not a big deal.

Epic concept! <3 Loved the boss level and the ending screen. :)

rincewind_cz 2013-08-26 12:09

The idea is good, main character's sprite as well :) I was little bit annoyed by bounding-boxes of enemies, they seem to be too big. Also key for quick suicide would be good If you'll be continuing on this game in future. But well done ;)

flamecow 2013-08-26 12:17

Wow, this is a neat idea. The concept behind it is pretty original!

xgeovanni 2013-08-26 18:26

I like the incorporation of the "Death is useful" theme.

zerkruemler 2013-08-26 18:31

Graphics and Sound is really hypnoitizing, Is it possible to get out on the first try (second)? I guess not.

mutuware 2013-08-26 19:34

Liked the music :)

omar_q8 2013-08-26 21:42

nice concept, cool puzzles and really fun!

ratalaika 2013-08-27 17:30

good job

vvolis 2013-08-28 12:50

The concept of sacrificing your lives in order to advance is very very good. Good job!

sh1rogane 2013-08-28 17:12

Interesting game, it is a fun game but i think the movements are a bit too slow

pixelfan 2013-08-29 14:07

I like the game, really good job, controls are perfect, maybe the music is some repetitive, but really good job!

darklotus 2013-08-30 12:11

The hit detection on balls seems a bit iffy, but fun enough to keep going back more, Was confused at the start as "moving platforms" don't move in the traditional sense. Good job.

Hmmm... the image doesn't like inside the Java canvas on Firefox :S Work on Chromium though. Not a great fan of Java for web games - have you tried LibGDX? That can compile to HTML 5.

The static background is a bit of an eye-sore, otherwise the game looks good, with it's own distinct visual style. The "time advancing on death mechanic" is also very interesting, I don't believe any other game has done that- at least none that I have played. Hence this is one of the better uses of the theme I've seen ^^

Good job!
