Cool game with neat-o graphics and music. I like the inspiration from the Pegasus boots, it's fun to move around.

Love the music, and Kosmotrot is adorable. The dash move is a little confusing at first (especially because you don't even need it in the first 2 levels), but was very fun once I got the hang of it.

Hahaha neat game. Love the music, it really made me smile. Great job!!

Good game and concept. Level 3 is definitely the hardest.

I love his buns!

todddd yeah nice riff on the pegasus boots!

thank yoouuuu everyone. i updated the page to include the source if you want to check out some of the unused art or mess with the game. :)

aeveis 2013-12-17 05:55

Fun, nice art. Good variety of obstacles and monsters :)

buddydoq 2013-12-17 06:05

Solid, quirky, and most importantly, it's fun! Loved it!

Interesting color scheme, and charming music. The sound effects were rather painful to listen to, though, very sharp and grating.

The atmosphere created with the visuals and the music is great. I also think your game mechanic is interesting and well implemented. Sadly, one doesn't really need the mechanic (sprint), there is too much oxygen. It would be better, if the game would challenge one with a wisely use of the sprint. And then, the game is far too short, given the fun it makes to dash through the level...

upvote for the vocals!

@Jeremias - you're totally right. i was pressed for time and didn't balance the difficulty at all :x . next time! thanks for playing.

i was trying to add local best times too, but unfortunately i couldn't get it working in time.

*spoilers below this line*

you can dash into the reptar-gophers to teleport to other tunnel openings!

I like this game a lot. You're going places, kid.

rukbotto 2013-12-18 03:00

I like the ambience created by the graphics and music. It's really fun to play!

andrew 2013-12-18 12:44

aw yes that classic todd look

supermini_man 2013-12-19 01:47

Nice game. The movement feels great, and I found the graphics & the music adorable.

seasons 2013-12-19 03:28

to all you young bucks out there tryin' to get your trot on http://youtu.be/uuXT_oaFWeU

burlapjack 2013-12-19 07:14

Loved it! 5 on art and humor!

garethiw 2013-12-20 11:35

Koooosmotrot... where you running to? Whatcha gonna dooooo.. when your air is throooough?

soy_yuma 2013-12-20 21:21

I liked it! I found it was probably too easy. But the graphics are cool and the music fits with the game very well :-) Good job!

makatak 2013-12-22 19:42

Fantastic music (and charming art too)! I think this is the only game I've seen with original vocals, and damn do I want more of that!

bradleysmith 2013-12-23 00:56

This is beautiful, I like the characters butt and the music is fantastic... kinda dreamy. Rated highly. :)

arcticleaf 2013-12-23 02:27

niceee

jimmypaulin 2013-12-24 15:01

The song totally makes this haha! I love the comedy character with that podgy space suit farting his way around goodness knows where. The colours are even hilarious, a great effort! I would have liked a bit more fanfare for beating those levels though ;)

alchiggins 2013-12-25 23:37

BEST SONG FROM THIS COMPO SO FAR

angelk 2013-12-29 06:59

I can't believe this is a thing, that song is priceless. Adorable name and art, this was one well executed goofy idea, that fit the theme well in its presentation.

mase 2014-01-01 18:45

Nice color palette

local-minimum 2014-01-01 23:39

Nicely made music to fit the game and its graphics. Didn't really get what I needed the z and x to. Fun and well made.

mcapraro 2014-01-02 07:07

well done! the overall mood was really neat

mize_vs_mildmojo 2014-01-02 19:21

Fantastic song. A forlorn, lyrical tribute to the main character's struggle. We recorded a couple of original pieces, too; there needs to be a compilation of games with original recordings.

This feels like something straight out of the DOS shareware era. The levels remind me of the overworld in the original Commander Keen eps. 1-3. The palette is nearly CGA, but not quite.

Boost was a little unclear at first. It seemed to operate in the direction of travel when it was engaged rather than the direction held while charging. I'm not sure if there was a penalty for running into spacebugs, spacecacti, or spacegopher spaceballs; I started doing it routinely because it was easier and quicker than aiming a boost.

That suit sure is form-fitting on the back end. *whistles*

nice game, loved the mole type enemies. Nice music too.

mephi 2014-01-03 12:00

Awesome song with original lyrics! The colors are so retro :)
Overall nice mood!

goerp 2014-01-03 13:07

Nice game. The way the levels are build are just right. You can go a bit wrong, it's not too much of a maze but also not too easy.

And the music is great!

Interesting color choice. because it was consistent throughout it gave it an other worldy feel.

It could maybe have used a bit of instructions on the 'sprint' mechanic.

cappelnord 2014-01-03 14:09

Lovely color palette, cool dashing mechanic and charming song. Well done :)

anvoz 2014-01-03 18:03

Nice game. I really like the music. Love to see more levels. I think you should create a level with smaller map and less oxygen.

stvr 2014-01-04 06:13

Solid entry, a bit simple but fun. Would have liked to see the somewhat desolate mood of the music carried into the game more!

nyrrrr 2014-01-04 17:19

the music rocks :D

rincewind_cz 2014-01-05 00:06

Nice game a good vocals on the song.. That song really makes almost the whole atmosphere of this :-)

xhunterko 2014-01-06 02:55

*slow claps*
Music just a tad loud.
Well done though!
Well done!
