Fun game, would be perfect for mobile. :D

capsizedmoose 2014-08-25 05:36

This is really good! Great graphics! I love what you did with the theme!

tmpxyz 2014-08-25 07:40

Nicely done!

nonentheless 2014-08-25 08:32

Nice soundtrack

bloodjohn 2014-08-25 08:35

Fun graph and music, but hard gameplay.

cmayhem 2014-08-25 08:43

I love the idea! Surprisingly difficult too.

tannernetwork 2014-08-25 08:47

Good game with nice graphics!

tautnerve 2014-08-25 08:50

Great! Can definitely be worked into a mobile port~
I could only reach a high score of 30 >:

lafleur 2014-08-25 09:19

So cute. Quite challenging! Like others are saying, would be a great mobile game!

kedume 2014-08-25 09:42

Nice game. It's simple and very addictive. It could be a mobile game too.

andrewkennedy 2014-08-25 15:25

Cool idea, though I felt that the controls were really hard. Nice guitar :)

mess110 2014-08-25 17:23

cool idea, good music

buffalophil 2014-08-25 17:24

Love that GUITAR!!!

43iscoding 2014-08-25 17:24

So this is the game worth scoring maximum score :) I hope you will make a mobile version of this one!

foolmoron 2014-08-25 17:32

Weird controls, but addictive. Cool art style and audio.

adventureislands 2014-08-25 20:58

95! Pretty creative game that looks great and is simple to play. Nice work!

boodog 2014-08-25 22:06

Nice job! I like the sound :)

danidre14 2014-08-26 04:17

Meh. Things escalated too quickly, I found.

oxeren 2014-08-26 07:07

Fun game. Music is nice.

syawqy 2014-08-26 11:53

simple but interesting

mach60kas 2014-08-26 14:06

Hey there, sorry you had to play my game without any controls! I've updated the description and website if you want to give it another shot.

I quite liked your game, I was a little unsure of what to do but I got the hang of it in a while. Except for dealing with bombs, I have no idea how to do that. :I Still, I liked your graphics and the concept of the game, as well as the replayability. Good work, keep it up!

drmelon 2014-08-26 21:51

Great little entry! Very cute & fun! Great job with this :D

jomomomo 2014-08-27 02:40

Interesting... Instructions weren't super clear..

ethankennerly 2014-08-27 04:08

Excellent, 5-stars! Becoming competent with pressing the up and down arrow keys to raise the fingers and pull them away to break the ladder interested me.

With your elegant input and rules, I see a lot of potential here!

If you continue to develop this, have you considered regulating the distribution of bombs more? The number of bombs in the first 5 seconds seemed to vary a lot over 5 different plays. For example, instead of rolling a die with one side being a bomb, shuffle deck of cards with one card being a bomb. Then take out one of the non-bomb cards to increase difficulty. Just an example.

Also have you considered tuning up the responsiveness of the down arrow key? I pressed and the fingers backed away from the ladder, but they didn't go down that quickly.

ponk 2014-08-27 17:43

Very nice hands and super cool concept

aaants 2014-08-27 19:52

Something a bit different! Nice work

georgebroussard 2014-08-28 06:01

Liked the theme and general gameplay here. I think you could maybe tighten up controls a bit? Good stuff.

simonchauvin 2014-08-28 09:54

Very funny little game. I played a lot, the control are cool and different from what we're used to. The mood is great too. Well done mate!

meta-link 2014-08-29 14:13

Nice game !
Easy to understand, suit in the theme and fun really fast !
Great job ;)

grayhaze 2014-08-30 17:55

Fun and addictive. I only wish I was better at it! Good work. :)

jnyknn 2014-08-30 17:56

Like someone already said, this would work perfectly on mobile device, but it's a fun game even on desktop PC.

dunin 2014-08-30 17:56

funny little game.
Controls are weird (or I don't understand all...) but fun.

stending 2014-08-30 18:26

Really fun! Love it!
Nice gameplay!

joseadrian 2014-08-30 19:49

The evil won. Really cool design. It would definitely be perfect for mobile

jezzamon 2014-08-31 05:51

Cool game! My best was 57 points.

I don't have any suggestions! It's great as is!

rantt 2014-08-31 23:23

Cool idea, it was a lot of fun. Would make a good mobile game.

mlinus 2014-09-01 06:15

Fun little game! :) Easy to learn but it took some rounds to get a score I was satisfied with (74). :D

bytegrove 2014-09-01 15:11

Cool and simple concept! For some reason I first thought the devils were ants. :P The game felt responsive even though the hands are a bit flimsy(in a good way!). Nice work! The ladder might be moving a little too quick?

mrexcessive 2014-09-01 18:40

Hi there. Liked the idea but proved pretty impossible to play. Like the sounds and graphics.

stvr 2014-09-01 19:25

Really unique concept; probably the first defend-heaven-with-god's-fingers game I've played.

Oreganik 2014-09-01 22:08

What a beautiful and bizarre little game. :) One one of the few to get five stars in innovation from me, and the music was excellent.

spotco 2014-09-01 22:26

Pretty frustrating controls made it hard to be precise.

linuus 2014-09-06 17:15

Sooooo hard! but very fun and love the graphics!

tosic 2014-09-07 09:39

Amazing, I really like the musics!

yword 2014-09-07 12:37

Really unique and innovative! Quite challenging! Well done!

jaj 2014-09-07 13:04

At first I found the controls incredibly frustrating, but then I figured out hitting the bottom ladder piece destroys all pieces above it and that helped a lot. Nice concept!

sunflower 2014-09-07 13:10

Interesting entry, I initially thought that it has mobile build, because it just looks very mobile-y. Pretty solid and fun, though with me not being a fan of endless games I didn't stick for too long. ^^"

Jeremias 2014-09-07 13:13

Hey! I would change the control scheme (I didn't got used to it). Perhaps you could check out how it works with touch on a smartphone?

artamus 2014-09-07 15:30

Nice game, congrats!

lkr 2014-09-07 21:28

That was pretty fun, and funny :)

It was pretty challenging, but had a nice risk/reward system where you could try to poke the lower ladders to drop multiple ones.

Interesting music as well - it sounds like it was recorded live?

depp 2014-09-08 03:32

This is fun, but the control scheme is difficult to work with.

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-09-08 06:33

Took me a while to get used to the controls but once you get it it's pretty addictive.
Original idea and nice execution!

chuigum 2014-09-09 03:46

Very original, I love the idea. Nice graphics and sound as well. Great job!

moosefly 2014-09-10 19:11

Pretty hard, only managed to get a score of 28 after a few tries. It's simple but at the same time effective and polished, good job!

fisholith 2014-09-13 10:38

Very cool, very clean mechanics.
I like that the game is so simple, and despite that, the different concerns you have to juggle to survive actually require quite a bit of skill and thought. :)
Keep up the good work!

egor-idiot 2014-09-15 09:35

Very fun game %)
Controls are hilarious!
