How do I get past level 1-5? I'm stuck.

greenyuk 2013-08-26 13:16

Only 1 of the buttons at the end works. The other is a troll :D

falconstar 2013-08-26 13:43

Fun, but I couldn't figure out how to pass level 4.

greenyuk 2013-08-26 13:48

Just jumping and timing! I aimed to make this pretty hard, kinda like meat boy, and seems i succeeded!

packsciences 2013-08-26 13:54

Good GMS game.

karsyf 2013-08-26 13:57

Crashes after 2-9 for me, but up until was a BLAST. This was really good and you should make more levels.

wukkopi 2013-08-26 13:58

Nice fast paced game, but couldn't get past 1-5 either. Couldn't find a way over that huge spikepit.

eolhing 2013-08-26 14:01

Nice game, that wireframe graphics totally suit the gameplay. I'm stuck at 1-5 too but I'll try again later ;)

greenyuk 2013-08-26 14:12

@Wukkopi @eolhing I've posted a Speedrun if you want to wimp out XD

greenyuk 2013-08-26 14:13

@Kwrky Crashes? After 2-10 it takes you back to level select as all levels have been played. Could you send me crash log?

dmastergames 2013-08-26 14:58

Good Game but I got stuck on level 1 - 5 and the game crashes a lot accept from that brilliant

sheepolution 2013-08-26 15:02

The PC controls were terrible. Can't get past 1-5 either. Music is cool, but the movement was terrible for a game like this.

tombofry 2013-08-26 15:18

Saw your comment, thought I'd try your game. I love difficult games where you can quickly respawn, loads of fun, I got to level 8 before "giving up" (Don't you worry, I'll keep trying until I complete it!) and quickly deciding this was my favourite game so far :D
However, the music was kind of irritating after a while, and sounds VERY familiar to "Better Off Alone" by Alice Deejay... Hmmm...

greenyuk 2013-08-26 15:19

@TomboFry The music is a chip remix of that song! Good ear :D

Thanks for the awesome comments. Seems your one of the first to get that far my man.

greenyuk 2013-08-26 15:20

@Sheep Sorry you don't like the PC controls. Developed mainly using pad and then didn't have loads of time to polish ... 48 hours and all :)

foxtacy 2013-08-26 15:37

That's one of the best ones i've seen so far! :)

Theres a few bugs on the stage changing logic that makes the game though :s

greenyuk 2013-08-26 15:40

@Foxtacy Thanks :) Appreciate it.

wukkopi 2013-08-26 20:02

GreenyUK: How you do that higher jump?

And:

FATAL ERROR in
action number 1
of Keyboard Event for D-key Key
for object obj_keyboard:

Push :: Execution Error - Variable Get 17.playing(100003, 0)
at gml_Object_obj_keyboard_Keyboard_68 (line -1) - <unknown source line>

this pops up when i'm in level selection and using a or d instead of arrows.

wukkopi 2013-08-26 20:08

Edit: Oh you're supposed to press shift. okay, didn't read level instruction on previous level :D

megamasterx 2013-08-26 23:05

Great fun, difficult and frustrating at parts, but they were overcame fairly quickly. Nicely done!

greenyuk 2013-08-27 01:25

@Wukkopi Thanks for that crash log my man. I'll get that fixed and glad you found the controls :)

greenyuk 2013-08-27 01:26

@MegaMasterX Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :D

joxno 2013-08-27 02:15

Really fun and really challenging, love it, and a very amazing chiptune remix song in the background

greenyuk 2013-08-27 02:16

@Joxno Glad you enjoyed it!

animated 2013-08-27 02:25

Not that creative (run left to right) and timer seems to be off when you finish.

lekochen 2013-08-27 02:29

Completed! Awesome game!

nathanhoffer 2013-08-27 02:29

Tight controls. Nice minimalist graphics. Gets the job done.

umu 2013-08-27 02:37

That is fiendish.Good music. I didn't get annoyed at its looping. the tiny enemies are a neat mechanic, if infuriating

red enemies against a green background are not good for the colourblind. I gave up after 30 attempts of world 2-3.

kunonooni 2013-08-27 02:53

Good Gameplay, nice graphics, catchy tune too.

greenyuk 2013-08-27 08:35

Thanks for all the awesome comments and @Animated once you finish a level the timer switches to show you the time you did it in. Green = fast | Orange = okay | Red = just in time. Should have explained I've amended game description.

lokarunith 2013-08-27 12:32

So there's no world 3? Damn, I was enjoying it a LOT!

hbocao 2013-08-28 01:40

I liked the sense of speed it gives!

gsmproductions 2013-09-02 13:20

Very cool graphic style, kinda hard to control on an AZERTY keyboard (WASD is awful on those), and did not know about Shift. The music was also quickly irritating, unfortunately. But all in all, good variety in the level design and good job!

binary_gambit 2013-09-05 15:28

Wow! incredible effort. I love the particle trails that make your character look like you are travelling really fast!

sh1rogane 2013-09-05 16:09

Great game, i think the difficulty was perfect, one thing i thought was that the red dot was too small. And the music i'm 99% sure i have heard that tune somewhere else.

eelfroth 2013-09-16 22:24

Really nice game. Difficulty is very well balanced.
I think some people get stuck on 1-5, because it is not so clear that you can highjump. Also, the keyboard controls are a bit tedious.
But I really enjoyed this game. Good job!
