Definitely a game that you want to keep playing over and over and see how much you can master. The concept ideas and art was amazing. Even though it was made it 48 hours, this game is polished enough that it could be considered a fully made game.

Addictive. It's really nailed that "just one more" motivation and keeps you wanting to try again.

Good work... too much fun

Man, i liked it! Simple, fun and addictive. Found it strange to shoot using the arrows, but in the end I got used to it (my initial reaction was to switch sides with arrows and shoot with a key).A little bit of polish and it could be an even better game.

Fun fact: when I pick up the first diamond, there's a weird graphic glitch with Wine on Linux. But overall, the game played very well on my setup (no need to dual boot, which is great!).

The swinging from one side to another was quite interesting, kept me playing for a while.

Stopped because I had a hard time dodging when boulders would fall on both sides at once.

Really neat. Reminds me a lot of Battletoads. Would be nice if you could move up/down while swinging, which could add some opportunities to dodge through obstacles mid-swing. Could be quite challenging!

Weird colour pattern on screen confused me until I realized I was tripping on mushrooms :)

It took a couple tries to get used to the controls, but fun game. I'm not very good. I got a hi score of 4! Nice graphics. Well done!

Pretty solid all around! The controls were a little awkward with switching buttons to shoot when swinging across, but it worked out okay.

Nice gameplay and with a bit more polish a great one!

micdoodle8 2014-05-01 07:12

Liked the mechanics, and it could be a full game with a bit of polish. Well done!

Really really cool and solid game.

I don't know if it's just me, but I found graphics a bit dark, it took me a while to realize I could shoot because the bullets were a bit hard to see.

soupwithbits 2014-05-01 08:13

Fresh mechanics! Awesome!

green-lightning 2014-05-01 12:21

Small tip: Make the bullets much larger and a bright color, so you can see them in front of the dark background and it will make shooting much more awesome!

pyrogames 2014-05-02 04:57

Some help text explaining the controls would be nice =]

zedutchgandalf 2014-05-02 05:23

This is an addicting little game :) Good job!

rvmook 2014-05-02 06:22

Addicting nice little game. Cool that you got everything in there. Took me a while to figure out you can't jump once you've reached the bottom which resulted in some deaths by rocks a couple of times. (and FYI Windows.exe file isn't there anymore) Good entry, fun to play!

reinkout 2014-05-02 06:25

Thanks for the fun game!

chuigum 2014-05-02 06:40

@rvmook Thank you very much for the info, I fixed the link. And thanks for the compliment :)

blahoink 2014-05-04 01:20

nice take on an endless game. its great to see some variation in that genre. keep up the good work

pkenney 2014-05-04 01:29

Cool mechanic and a nice implementation! I think a few touches of polish would have gone a long way, mostly around shooting the gun and having bullets hit the bats, and also when the player takes damage.

capnramses 2014-05-04 14:37

excellent work! has a real atari/amiga game feel - felt like i should be using a one-button joystick!

boodog 2014-05-05 04:20

Cool! Nicely done!

whilefun 2014-05-05 14:41

It took me a while to discover that the arrow keys also shoot your gun. This was a pretty fun game! Nice work :)

mneubrand 2014-05-06 03:55

Nice addicting game. Time was just flying by playing it :)
When boulders came down on both sides simultaneously it sometimes felt like there was no way to escape.

fuzzywuzzie 2014-05-06 05:12

This was surprisingly fun once I figured out the controls! I felt a bit like Indiana Jones :) I can definitely see this as a great mobile game!

jsmars 2014-05-06 06:06

Really nice game! Nice mechanics and really fun! I don't know if it was intentional but the background was almost completely dark which made it near impossible to see any bats..

I also made a game inspired by spelunky as I've clocked around 150h of spelunky last few months..

csanyk 2014-05-07 00:59

Graphics were too dark to see well, so kept hitting enemies that I couldn't see clearly. Also, I couldn't figure out how to shoot? It says arrow keys but they don't do anything.

Music on the enhanced version is very good.

pixel_3 2014-05-07 03:49

Neat little game, wish you could move up/down while swinging and the controls were more intuitive. Maybe a rapid fire feature would've helped so I didn't have to mash the awkward left/right arrow. But a rebind might do just as well.

Both links to Dropbox said the file wasn't there.

Great concept, intuitive design, beautiful graphics. It's a little bit buggy sometimes, but all in all it's a nice game. Good job, I'd love to see future versions of this.
