Great twist on theme (and platformers), also like that you went for the secret theme :)

Some humor!
Funny and I like meta games...

The little eskimo is real well done too.

He should be able to throw MtnDew bottles at the player to slow him down.

Great, arrow keys are supported! :D
But widescreen only. :(

After a dozen seconds or so, the game becomes choppy and unplayable. Tis a shame, this looked like it could have been fun to play.

First funny/humor game I've seen so far, and it has some nice mechanics.

Nice graphics and outstanding music. Good job

Pretty solid game, performance issues aside. It seemed easier to just NOT go under the ice though...

Very smooth running, and a bit of a challenge. There ought to be more games with this guy as the villain! Outstanding idea!

Brrrrr.... looks like cold water

This game is super funny and cute. Great humor.

Also needs more Pepsi branding on loss. Big splash screen.

I really like the graphics.

tifu 2014-04-29 11:14

Good idea with the above and below surface choice, but it seemed for the most part it was easier to just stay on the surface. I think a couple of sections should have required diving more. Good challenge though, it took a good few tries to beat the last level :D

Nice game, a bit lag on a few sections and a bit trapheavy towards the end. Quite well put together.

Good game ! Really like your graphics !
Awesome work, keep it up (:

greatbigjerk 2014-04-29 20:37

I just get a blank screen on OSX :(

nonentheless 2014-04-30 10:59

I like the idea with switching between above/below but I have some terrible performance issues (on both normal and lower version) to the point it was almost unplayable after few seconds

alvarop 2014-05-01 05:28

This game offended me.

nonentheless 2014-05-01 06:35

Ok, I beat it this time. I assure you my computer is rather powerfull so it's strange it didn't work earlier, but nevermind. I had one issue this time, on third level once or twice red fish spawned above the ground. Also did you consider allowing player to move a little left and right to let him control the jump length? Raising your overall and fun after the fix ;)

pinkmonkeyhead 2014-05-02 14:36

Nice game!

euske 2014-05-02 15:18

The game has a really addictive vibe. The level design could be a bit improved, but I really enjoyed the game. Also I liked the characters (the player and the evil guy).

actionremix 2014-05-03 06:12

Smashing through the ice looks awesome!

crefossus 2014-05-03 06:26

Great job overall. The difficulty was a little bit much and while I adored the red fish initially ... it came back to block what may have been a successful me once or twice.

Loved the graphics overall but they could use a unifying look (anti-aliased/pixelated).

I got addicted to it so that's a good thing.. I think.

wertle 2014-05-03 16:07

I like how the theme is integrated with the mechanic. Going under the water was a nice twist on a standard runner (although I usually just ended up getting myself killed when I went underwater, those fish are tricky!) The difficulty ramp-up is pretty intense, if you keep working on this, some intermediate difficulty levels would help with this. Nice work!

Pepsi consultant oh my god you win I can't even

gre 2014-05-13 13:11

Nice take on the theme + bonus theme.

gamepopper 2014-05-19 20:46

Really nice Endless runner, I like the two layer aspect of it. Really needs a score instead of levels though.
