Cute and fun! I was kind of sad that it ended so soon. Until I reached the "The End" screen. Then I was happy again. Good game.

I agree with cabbage :)

I started playing this game not realizing you could use regular movement with the arrow keys, I was playing with just changing gravity--and I almost liked it better that way, until I got to turrets :P Anyways, nice game!

That was really good!

fanttum 2014-08-25 03:22

Cool idea. I don't really get the theme :P but what ever.
It wasn't easy so maybe make the resown quicker?

The controls seem a bit awkward to me, and the game has kind of a weird learning curve. Other than that, it's a nice implementation of an old idea. :) Nice work!

Not sure where the theme links in but overall nice job.

demorro 2014-08-25 03:43

Gotta play to the end ;P

Unique controls! Can't decide if i like or hate them ... As others have said, I miss the tie in with the theme, but cool game.

This is an awesome mechanic. I like the pixel art and animations. It is weird though but in a good way.

Haha this is a pretty cute game! :D Love it!

crezefire 2014-08-25 13:14

Really good game. Has a lot of potential to be the next Super Meat Boy!!

Wow, really strong platformer, reminded me of VVVVVV. Very challenging but still fun. The graphics are simple but looks good. I really loved the ending credits :)

I had a hard time getting the controls down, but had a lot of fun!

gnutek 2014-08-26 11:31

Fun game :) Neat graphics and audio.
Quicker respawns would be nice considering a pretty high momentum and very spiky spikes :)

suppi 2014-08-26 15:44

very nice mechanics! though the controls were a little annoying.
also, the height of the screen was a little too big for me, it didn't fit all the way on my laptop :(

neosam 2014-08-27 08:04

Wow, that was hard :). Great idea, 5 points for Innovation!

Good game, really liked the level design. one minor complaint: the movement felt like walking on ice.

Other than that, great entry!

Neat take on the VVVVVVV concept, ran a bit choppy on my computer, which made it hard to play.

demorro 2014-08-27 21:35

I'm really sorry about the performance. The time constraints led me to take a very very ill advised course in choosing how a bunch of the mechanics were implemented.

suve 2014-08-28 08:54

Quite fun. The collision boxes are bit too large and it's easy to die, and the music gets repetitive quite soon. But other than that, it's a really nice and fun entry. The graphic style is interesting and pleasant to the eye.

papygaragos 2014-08-28 14:49

That's a cool idea, but you should tweak the controls a bit:

The character has a lot of inertia which makes him hard to control, and his hitbox is a bit to big (I really expect him to fall when both its feet are in the air).

kidando 2014-08-29 19:55

this is so original. it was fun. a bit challenging at first, but really awesome once I got the hang of things. Great job! I loved this game

ragepaint 2014-08-29 22:29

Interesting controls / movement for he character. Just not sure how it fits the theme.

vinull 2014-08-30 02:02

Really cool idea but I do not posses the skills to play too far into the game (keep hitting the wrong set of movement keys and when it came to the first timed jump room I was done for!).

traumendes_madchen 2014-09-02 13:19

Am I playing a dangerous sheep-ninja 0o ? Very strange physics (I was under the impression I was just flying in the air) but not bad otherwise.

mrexcessive 2014-09-04 07:17

Hi there. Like the special abilities, the platformer itself I found too difficult - but I am bad at them. Nice pffft sound on death.

jukimv1986 2014-09-07 09:04

Great game! It was fun to play, even if it was short the levels were well designed. Well done!
