Really Cool! I like it!

Wow, I like this concept a little too much. I've never played a game quite like it. The graphics and animations are very nice too!

Giving four stars for humour just on the strength of the game title.

The jelly-like splat of the character on platform landings is pretty cute.

Amazing entry art-wise & and gameplay wise ! Too bad there's no music but the pixels are really crunchy !

spiralcodestudio 2013-08-26 19:11

Great job! It was fun to play!

elementz123 2013-08-26 19:12

Awesome overall game. The laser effect is strong. I get a sense of urgency to get cover asap when I start to hear it!

Great graphics, sound and idea. Sadly I failed at 150m in up mode. Best game in this compo I played so far.

h8urf8 2013-08-26 19:16

Awesome game overall. The animations, sound effects, idea, everything.

I was a little bit disappointed after the "c" thing. :P

No checkpoints mode is tense!

xotraz 2013-08-26 19:27

A cool game ^^.

stenol 2013-08-26 23:05

Very cool !

megamasterx 2013-08-26 23:09

I enjoyed this so much! Reminded me of a stage in MegaMan. Very nice.

orni 2013-08-27 08:48

wow, I loved this one!
(didn't expect anything but a great game from you)

the mood is amazing - great music too

saintheiser 2013-08-27 10:35

Cool entry, man!
Its very simple and addictive. I like that there isn't procedural generation and the descend has an end =)

sittaman 2013-08-27 18:52

Very nice!

Amazing game, one of my favorites in the competition. The unlockable modes give it great replayability. I love it.

glockenspiel 2013-08-28 04:01

The lasers seemed very unpredictable other than that great

2013-08-28 11:43

Super fun! I can't wait for the M level... O_O

nicotuason 2013-08-28 12:15

Woah, the "up" mode is the real game! So much more challenging than going down. But I made it all the way to the top!

zillix 2013-08-29 07:22

beautifully atmospheric! loved that the first half was really just an introduction, and the second half was much harder

eddy93 2013-08-30 00:14

Well done!!! I liked this very much, good mechanics, mood and art!

xndr 2013-08-30 09:35

little bit hard for me. Is it possible hide from laser ?
Good job !

tijmentio 2013-08-30 20:38

BZZZZZAP

codecranker 2013-08-31 18:49

Love the character animations! Great!

shatley123 2013-09-01 11:09

I made it past 200 meters

discofish 2013-09-02 07:45

Just WOW!

alvivar 2013-09-03 05:13

very good gameplay.

fun + mood.

capro 2013-09-03 11:37

This is awesome. One of my favourite. Going down and then going up again is a great design idea.

koe415 2013-09-05 04:03

Great title! Art style worked great for this game. Reminded me of Canabalt's style. I thought the game was pretty easy and I flew through it.....only to unlock the UP mode. Not quite as easy! Well thought-out rewards adds a lot to this package. Also, your level design is superb and all the little details are great (like the moles hiding right before the lasers fire)! This is one of the top games I've played for this comp.

alink 2013-09-08 14:00

Excellent. The laser idea was really fun and well executed. Nice replayability too.

colapsydo 2013-09-11 09:30

Nice work on putting those different modes. It really makes a lot. And I was able to really appreciate the level design on the 'up' mode. Great work on that.
Graphics and sounds contribute to create a great mood, I'm a fan of the laser sound.

sestren 2013-09-15 08:02

The pacing of each mode is great. By the time I was at "No Checkpoint Mode" the game was really intense, and every mistake and close call was a treat for my nerves. A lot of frustrating and challenging fun. Loved it!

lordjosephdeburg 2013-09-15 19:35

Giving this game anything less than 5 stars would be a disgrace, Farfin this is a master piece well done! Im going to play a few of your past entries after the compo, really impressive stuff and glad to find your games!

manuq 2013-09-15 21:10

The smooth movement of the character is great. Also the laser effect. And was very fun when I reached the bottom.

gfm 2013-09-15 21:40

Wow. This was awesome!

Platforming felt really nice. I had no trouble jumping on those vertical paths (which is something many get wrong!).

The laser idea was quite nice and made me pay attention to where I should hide... but what I liked most was the moles burying themselves to hide from the light! This enabled me to have some breather.

Another great decision was the camera only following when you are touching the ground and the death by going off screen. This made the game harder, since I had to plan carefully also based on these aspects.

The graphics were simply, but quite nice! The animations were specially great!

And you've made me play this four times!! Since the game was short, I tried every mode. =D

Great job!
