Funny game! I like the sketchy graphics and silly plot. It is quite difficult and a nice little challenge.

philriver 2013-12-16 04:02

Holy cow! I didn't read the description and just after collecting two coins two times I got it! Hahahhahha! Awesome submission!

conflei 2013-12-16 05:03

Hahahahsahsa so funny, i like the turtles.

Simple platformer with a twist pulled off well. Sound is good.

whiteknife 2013-12-16 05:03

Love the graphics, love the music, LOVE the twist of classic Mario gameplay, and the humor works. Challenging, but keeps you coming back for more! My favorite game I've rated so far!

This is absolutely amazing, and everything a game jam game should be. Fantastic design and a blast to play. Graphics fall in that "perfectly imperfect" zone.

Spiffy game with a nice sense of humor.

piat 2013-12-16 05:07

Looks great, incredibly difficult, and a little unfair at time. But it still got a few play throughs out of me, so must of been doing something right.

Freakin' AWESOME!!!

LOVE love love this game! You took the Pavlovian urge to get the 1up and flipped it inside out.

Very nice work my friend - very nice work :D

Thank you all for the comments! I really appreciate the kind words. I'm so happy you enjoy it!

Lol very nice twist to Mario, loved it.

somfunambulist 2013-12-16 05:30

Brutally difficult, fun premise.

rhysd 2013-12-16 06:37

Interesting idea. My natural instinct was to collect coins, so some times I'd just go for them when I was playing without thinking! Very interesting to see how players can unlearn something so simple as collecting a coin in order to be able to progress. Good job!

This was very funny, it had a bit of thought go into it.

bentog 2013-12-16 17:33

I see what you did there! Inverting enemies with coins is a nice touch on the humor. Graphics are funny, too.

m0n0quartz 2013-12-16 20:43

xDDD Pretty nice, I love the death animation. When i see it for the first time i fell off my seat !

calciumtrice 2013-12-17 01:02

A cool inversion of Mario, I like it! Graphics were nice, some solid bible quoting and enjoyed seeing the ways you turned coins into hazards. Good job.

vanaficionado 2013-12-17 01:05

1Down!!!! (Very funny, good work.)

liamlime 2013-12-17 01:07

Sooooo cooounter intuitiiiveee :) Having to avoid coins just feels wrong deep down inside :) Next up they'll be saying we have to avoid jewels! :)

blasmena 2013-12-17 01:17

funny as hell!

cheshyr 2013-12-17 01:48

ok, this is hilarious, and crazy difficult. I've been pavlov'd into collecting coins and hitting blocks and such fort so long... i'm not certain I can ever stop. x.x great work!

ashen 2013-12-17 07:02

This game is amazing! The fist of God makes me laugh every time. The humor is great, but unlike many funny games the controls are really good too. The double jump is very cool! Well done!

finefin 2013-12-17 08:34

very funny game! took some "fists of god" to understand what I'm supposed to do :D

bradleysmith 2013-12-17 21:36

Hilarious take on the theme, the turtles look awesome. ^_^

super-hamster 2013-12-18 23:12

Oh my god that was annoying! No, I'm joking, I raged in the good kind of way where you continue to play. I thought the art was funny and at first I was like, alright, this can't be too bad. And then as soon as I saw moving coins I'm just like oh my god.... This is going to be evil. I never managed to beat it but I got past the point where you have to jump on a turtle to continue. I noticed there were a few glitches like still "flying" even though you were on a block, and if you walk on a turtle you die. Anyways, overall, interesting game!

ariake81 2013-12-19 00:54

great twist, the big foot is awesome, nice work!

emmelineprufrock 2013-12-19 02:24

I love how it plays against expectations. Really cool.

andreasxx1 2013-12-19 11:57

AWESOME!

lorniebear 2013-12-19 16:36

tjhis is very fun but it could be improved by ONLY GETTING ONE UP!!!
A great idea, and I found it very fun. The 'only getting one' theme could have been emphasized further

Nice job

badlydrawnrod 2013-12-19 22:45

Ha ha, I really liked what you did there, taking a platform and inverting the rules. Great little game.

somepx 2013-12-19 22:54

Fantastic! Turtles are awesome, the gameplay twist feels just right! Bravo!

dylanwolf 2013-12-20 01:09

This is a neat concept. It's brutally difficult early on, but it's not as noticeable as most difficult platformers, because you get 2 chances and most of the obstacles are coins.

I like the art style and the Mario references--it definitely feels like the darkest timeline version of the Mushroom Kingdom.

goerp 2013-12-20 13:12

I love this! 5 star for the concept. A neat twist on the arcade game.
I like the all the arcade references, it plays like an arcade but you really have to change your reflexes.
This is one of those game I recomend to friends: 'look what they make at Ludum Dare'.

lorniebear 2013-12-22 16:39

Gets very hard very quickly... ITS BRILLIANT!!!

atombrot 2013-12-30 00:13

hahaha so funny :)

eskivor 2014-01-05 00:32

A little bit difficult but I like it !
