Good job on the surreal atmosphere. The parallax backgrounds (especially with the texture and blending) and the voice-overs were good (though given the length of the game, you might reduce the frequency).

I really enjoyed the parallax effect, it takes me back.. :) only thing I found weird was the "let go of the controls and still slide but facing towards the user" issue.. Overall though, I enjoyed the game, simple to grasp, simple to play [KGD]

I will confess I got to the fourth stage but did not finish - the movement felt a little slow and there wasn't any new items or abilities so I stopped. The background art was cool (loved the Dali clocks) and the voice overs were a great touch. Really made me want to kill some bunnies!

The backgrounds are trippy and really compliment the game well, great job! :)

I really like the parallax background and the music is pretty cool too. I kept hoping for a power-up that would let me shoot the stuffing out of those evil red bear/rabbit things. Or are they vampire rabbits? Whatever they are, I kept my distance.

Very surreal, not sure about that voice over.

leafarz 2014-08-27 15:31

very creepy game man imo! but i assume you deliberately made this game this way especially the voices in the game. had some trouble moving the player but the game is still good!
great job!

A bit creepy, but I liked it. I included it in part 10 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series :) http://youtu.be/KmqpyEAAVGM

Really trippy. This is some weird stuff. I wish I could jump on the baddies!

twoscoopgames 2014-08-28 04:10

Some mood going on here for sure! Very odd and trippy, I wish I could jump on the baddies though.

perpetualraine 2014-08-28 16:54

What a funky game! The movement felt a little sluggish though.

The voice-over really creeped me out and I think I could live without it. Maybe it was too loud? I felt like it was really jarring. There was also the sliding movement but other than that I really like it. The backgrounds and music really set the mood and atmosphere!

Felt surreal and trippy, as well as unsettling.

fauge 2014-08-29 02:45

When you jump everything moved...got me dizzy but good work!

"The Fall" don't make video games, but if they did then this would be the result. Were you channeling Mark E Smith? It would certainly explain why I liked the music a lot yet my wife found it creepy!

Enjoyed the game, and the backgrounds were vibrant.

I like the graphics, the audio, and the parralex scrolling. I remember the day I discovered that real life had paralex scrolling...

jukimv1986 2014-09-01 00:00

aaaaah so weird! and yet so cool! nice graphics and audio, great parallax for the background, cute protagonist, what else? Great job!

rantt 2014-09-01 00:04

The graphics and music were awesome. Good game, I enjoyed it.

kate-kligman 2014-09-01 00:59

Trippy! Liked the graphics of the planets in the background. Music was interesting, the narration worked with the drumbeat.

howkj1 2014-09-01 20:08

This one is kinda scary. I did like the coin noises and traditional platformer sound effects. Voiceovers and music and little red guys are sure to give nightmares to little kids! :-o

klianc09 2014-09-02 18:09

Really WTF atmosphere (in a good way). I want to jump on those rabbits heads! It's just very unforgiving, when you touch a rabbit at the end of a level and you have to walk aaaaallll the way to the end again.

It feels really repetitive and slow. Still I continued, hoping something new would happen, until I got stuck at one level because the jump was impossible to make.

mach60kas 2014-09-04 00:34

That was very surreal indeed, I think you captured the feel of a nightmare scape pretty well? I'd possibly tweak the character's inertia, it feels a little slow just now. The music was a tad odd, but I just assumed that was intentional to fit the theme! :) Again, good job! :)

shivur 2014-09-05 02:10

Loved the surrealistic mood!

cartoonjenn 2014-09-05 04:41

Great graphics!

loadsofmana 2014-09-09 00:01

I really like the backdrops and overall weirdness...not the most interesting plat-former though.

mrvanderpants 2014-09-10 17:36

Great mood! The voice clips really adds up to the atmosphere

traumendes_madchen 2014-09-12 13:41

It sure looks psychedelic ='). The controls were a bit difficult to handle (that teddy bear slides a lot), otherwise it was fine.

zeppelincaptain 2014-09-13 20:33

Trippy, awesome graphics and soundscape :D

skiddings 2014-09-13 20:55

Certainly sets an unsettling mood.

totalnerd152 2014-09-15 02:29

I'm so perplexed. . .

tosic 2014-09-15 17:22

I like the graphics, but sounds are little annoying, but it is still a cool game.
