Pretty cool idea. Once the passages got a bt narrow, it seemed impossible to pass. Loved the sound fx!

hathol 2014-04-28 16:59

Very nice game and a good challenge. Love the clarity and simplicity of it.

somfunambulist 2014-04-28 19:52

Really great gameplay and presentation, cripplingly difficult as well.

zephyr 2014-04-28 19:54

Simple, challenging and fun. Well done! Some parts seem impossible, but I liked it.

philip_sinclair 2014-04-28 19:55

Loved the sfxs! And the mechanics were quite interesting too.

stabalarash 2014-04-28 19:58

really addicting, nicely done

nickzangus 2014-04-28 20:04

Very challenging! (in the good way) I love the aesthetic and the gameplay... Maybe a post-compo version with the difficulty level that rises more slowly?

snooze82 2014-04-28 20:05

good luck to you and maru <3 <3 :) love the game

albertosm 2014-04-28 22:41

Wow! Me en-can-ta! Muy bonito el mensaje final :')
Uno de mis favoritos de este LD, sin duda!

Really Difficulty and I Liked it alot the Graphics were not that great but the rest of the game was epic

Gameplay Video: http://youtu.be/AFAWf2gUXC4 [Should be Uploaded in about an Hour and 30 Minutes or so]

GHfsdfjfnkjnbbb. I think the collision detective is too frustratingly sensitive. I like the idea and the general execution.

syawqy 2014-04-29 04:35

haaard....

Very original and fun game. The sound effects were hilarious :D
This section took me long

But I was already too engaged to mind too much.

The webpage this is embedded in doesn't have scrollbars, so the only way of seeing the bottom half of the game was to resize my window. Browser bug?

Mid-air jump seemed unreliable: it's not a fixed number of mid-air jumps but I couldn't work out why sometimes I could jump in the air and sometimes I couldn't. Needs time between jumps to recharge? Not well communicated.

This was hard in a great way. Really enjoyed playing this one :) Was the hit box for the triangle a square? It felt like I was dying sometimes when i could see that i wasn't touching the red yet. Still really awesome though.

tombofry 2014-04-29 20:27

Love challenging games, and love the simplicity of the graphics. Spent way too long on this one!

dustoutgames 2014-04-29 21:21

This is very well done. The difficulty is ridiculous (not in a bad way) and the running narration creates a great mood. It got a little too frustrating for me later in, but I'll be coming back to it later. Well done!

Nice interpretation of the theme. Also loved the art style.

notnasiul 2014-05-01 11:46

Woho, the fourth one get pretty difficult! :D Nice : )

sheepolution 2014-05-01 21:52

The game is really hard, it gets to a point where it's not much more fun. I the graphics look simple and clean, but the audio doesn't fit.

tomvert 2014-05-02 11:39

Very good and very hard, I like the fact that you have an objective in sight, it makes the player curious and it's motivating.

lyje 2014-05-03 19:26

If at first you don't succeed... yeah there was a lot of that! But practice made some sections eventually feel easier. Good job the game!

boaheck_artgent 2014-05-03 20:56

I really enjoyed this. I only got to like the 6th or 7th level due to frustration. But this was so much fun and a challenge. Only thing to improve could be by adding a soundtrack. However I loved the sound effects. They were really cute and the death one sounded like farts haha. Well done you should be proud ~Boa

basselgaming 2014-05-03 21:05

Haha! really cool idea and concept!

make-a-game 2014-05-03 21:49

Not sure if the slow speed is intended, but it seemed like the game lagged a lot. Very challenging but fun.

ragzouken 2014-05-03 22:44

very challenging in a good way! very enjoyable. also love the mouth sounds :D

2014-05-03 22:58

Great difficulty progression. Interesting game idea. Love it!

mintarcade 2014-05-04 07:12

Nicely done. Cool graphic. Too hard for me, but very cool gameplay.

thorig 2014-05-04 17:33

Pretty cool game, with some relaxing music in the background I could see my self losing hours to this!

javadocmd 2014-05-04 22:36

So challenging, but so worth it! There's some really nice level design here. I especially liked the non-circular and non-symmetrical levels. I usually am not a big fan of challenging platformers, but the ending made the frustration worthwhile.

My only nitpick is that the little path of triangles you leave behind you doesn't always space evenly, so there are little gaps in the particles you leave behind. Super minor but distracting to my eye.

cakencode 2014-05-05 00:54

HAHA! I managed to beat the original version <3. Very fun, every failure felt like my own failing to be dextrous enough. Very cool visual element too :)

wertle 2014-05-05 02:15

A simple concept executed well, but a bit too highly tuned. The jumps got awfully difficult very quickly.

glbs 2014-05-05 02:27

It's was quite an unsuspected ending! Cute though.
I really enjoyed the game mechanics and the graphics, and how they work together.
I think you should add a proper music and sound effects to emphasize the descent aspect and the atmosphere of your game.
Nice work!

rico-albe 2014-05-05 11:49

Cuando los caminos son muy estrechos se hace demasiado difícil, y volver hasta donde estabas se hace un poco lento. Quizás el giro debería ser más rápido.

dedhedzed 2014-05-05 15:25

That was really sweet! Also, thoroughly enjoyed the vast quantity of what undeniably sounds like fart noises. Great gameplay, clever interpretation of the theme, good stuff.

soupwithbits 2014-05-05 17:21

Love this. You keep playing because you want to find out if it ends. Also enjoyed the interpretation of the theme.

rojo 2014-05-05 23:12

Pretty challenging. It took awhile to get used to the jumping mechanic. It's a bit nonstandard so I think that's why some people have difficulty with it. Overall a cool idea and nice presentation, though.

maesk 2014-05-06 21:05

Nice game. Exactly as difficult as it needs to be. Sounds are funny :) Graphics and mechanics are simple but really efficient. Good job!

badgerpriest 2014-05-08 02:26

Great game. Took me a while to figure out that holding the arrow made the jump last longer.

meszka 2014-05-09 17:27

Nice narrative :) Jumping mechanic was a little confusing as others have mentioned.

stvr 2014-05-09 19:20

A wonderful take on the theme with a great Sentris-esque aesthetic and probably one of the best finales of the jam. Great work!

anoarith 2014-05-11 18:12

Really Hardcore :o

joe40001 2014-05-16 01:24

Innovative and fun, and personally I liked the level of difficulty. Could have used a bit better sound, even if you wanted to stay audio consistent maybe some acapella little ditty but for the compo I suppose even public domain stuff isn't allowed.

Anyway great job, quite fun.

franklins-ghost 2014-05-18 12:20

Clever design and like the way you've changed things up with the additional gameplay elements that are introduced the further down you go.
