the whole game is 100x100px on the top left in chrome.

Hey, sorry I'm unsure why :(! Try the web mirror, or the windows version please. It seems to be working fine on my computer (Story of my life)

transmit 2014-08-25 22:28

Added a direct link to the .swf file, hopefully it will help

Very small square in the top-left corner of the browser.

Pretty cool little game. I had some trouble with collisions: it felt like the turtle's collider was too big and I got stuck on walls. At first I wondered how this fit the theme but it has a fun twist. Good work!

Did I just play Cartman as a turtle? That's what it looks like to me. Nice game.

Had to make my browser to 400% to click on the play button., but after that it worked.

The .swf definitely helps, you can't see the spikey things in the web version even when you zoom in to play, so I couldn't figure out why I kept dying. Nice simple game! (:

Sorry, seems to be a problem with running it in chrome, removed that version for now. Will try to get it back up.

Nice Fog!

Nice! The turtle animation is pretty cute and I found the game to be pretty funny in general. Some times the speed of the bullets is unpredictable though and the turtle could use a speedup, but I guess it's a turtle so it should be slow, haha.

Cool idea. Not sure I've ever played as a turtle before... it was fun!

onlyslightly 2014-08-25 23:06

The turtle was really cute. I liked how he waddled. It was very satisfying to be ghost turtle

nnelgdabandit 2014-08-25 23:43

I like turtles! Nice job, was pretty fun.

amvere 2014-08-26 00:00

I like the way the turtle waggles back and forth! I ended up beating the whole game.

s0rax 2014-08-26 00:08

The sound can kill myself, but the tileset and sprite are not bad. Nice entry !

pythong 2014-08-26 06:59

collect as many coins as you can? why? what should a turtle do with coins :D ?

tannernetwork 2014-08-26 10:18

Great game!

transmit 2014-08-26 10:45

@Pythong, Take his lady friend turtle out on a date.

tanser 2014-08-26 11:50

Interesting game, good job. :)

jomomomo 2014-08-27 02:57

Nice turtles!

jjhaggar 2014-08-27 08:01

I like turtles! ^^ Good job! :D

stvr 2014-08-27 13:11

Adorable turtle! Pretty challenging.

gnx 2014-08-29 23:41

First off I really like the visuals and the gameplay feel of the "alternate" world. The regular world gameplay is a bit too slow and also the hitboxes are a bit too unforgiving (you get killed by bullets you'd think wouldn't hit you).

Other than that it is a solid entry and the alternate world gameplay is great :)

ehtd 2014-08-29 23:49

Liked a lot more the fast world, fun game!

Nice game, could've done with some background music though.

Hi there. Nice looking, movement slightly clunky, but found my way around. Sound a bit less than expected. Good job!

ramiel 2014-08-31 19:42

Nice idea.
But sometimes the controls get stuck. I think it happens when you try to move diagonally, but I'm not sure about that.

jukimv1986 2014-09-01 15:49

Turtles are always welcome. Good effort for 15 hours of work. Well done!

tex-killer 2014-09-06 04:31

What a cute little game! The gameplay is a little stiff, but I guess that was considered when designing the levels. Just kind of makes no sense that you go to the GHOST world when you DON'T die, but I guess that doesn't really matter. lol

By the way, I see that you tried to run my game last week, but couldn't. I've detected and fixed some memory errors, so you're welcome to come back and try again, if you like. :)
