404 on the download link, would like to play this game please fix.

frr171 2014-08-25 06:08

Same issue as above - 404 with the download link.

Yup: "The file you're looking for has been deleted or moved."

headchant 2014-08-25 06:15

same issue as the others, file is missing

hungyg 2014-08-25 06:15

same here

mrsylar59 2014-08-25 06:25

Impossible to download.

chuigum 2014-08-25 06:28

Ooh thanks everyone! It's fixed now.

jaloko 2014-08-25 06:41

I enjoyed playing and the pixel art is great. The cone graphic sort of look like the VLC icon anyway nice work.

frr171 2014-08-25 06:47

Love that I can just blow obstacles out of the way. Great job!

stephan_h 2014-08-25 06:58

Nice game, even fun for a while. Great music.
You should make the game restartable by a key stroke if all other controls work by keyboard.

hungyg 2014-08-25 07:44

I see you've fixed the link. Really cool game, liked the graphics. I found it difficult to shoot enemies without taking damage however.

gamegrape-corporation 2014-08-26 01:38

The pixel art is crazy! I really like this game, I was going to make one myself a while back and it's good to see it in action. Well done! and thanks for the positive comment. The full version of High Flyer will be coming soon! :)

Could have made more effort to make your game around the theme.

hyouko 2014-08-26 01:46

Only slightly disappointed that this was not, in fact, an N64 game from the file name. High score for me was 117, which is a bit lousy, but the hearts kept spawning on/around logs for me.

chuigum 2014-08-26 02:12

@hyouko Oh, yeah thanks for letting me know. Need to fix a couple bugs.

kidando 2014-08-26 11:10

:D very entertaining. Pretty awesome idea. Awesome work

crocantidepollo 2014-08-26 13:27

Seeing every other car I encountered was driving backwards made me realize maybe I was the one driving the wrong way! That's why they kept shooting me, I am the madman! :P

lazdo 2014-08-27 00:34

I actually really like this, the graphics are simple and we'll done. A little weak on the theme though. Great work overall

nerd-burglars 2014-08-27 01:13

You've captured exactly how I feel while driving to work! LOL! Solid entry! Good luck to you!

petegrammarman 2014-08-27 05:16

Solid mechanics and fun to play. Did not really get the link to the theme though.

ninjascript 2014-08-27 05:44

Nice game! The audio is compelling and the gameplay challenging. Well done!

jackyjjc 2014-08-27 05:54

The art and the audio is good, it is not quite related the theme but it is a fun game. The game is a bit hard, if the control is more responsive and the randomly generated levels are more reasonable(sometimes the obstacles are impossible to avoid or the power up is overlapped with them) then the game would be more enjoyable :)

endurion 2014-08-27 06:00

The theme seems rather shoe-horned on. Still, it's a decent game. A bit more polish as in avoiding impossible situations (eg. pickups too close or under an obstacle) would be neat.
Plus bosses :)

Made 375 points.

phaix 2014-08-27 06:02

Nice game. I'm missing the theme relation a bit, but in general fun to play.

zeppelincaptain 2014-08-27 06:04

Nicely entertaining. High score: 261. With a little tweaking her and there (enemy bullets another color than your own, more balanced cars instead of just random ones, maybe the ability to also drive forward a bit, etc), and some added variation, this could be a pretty nice game.

hundredhundred 2014-08-27 10:06

I find the graphics and audio to be the strongest factor in your entry. Solid looking objects and the scrolling background makes it that much more polished. The gameplay is slightly lacking though, the speed at which your car changes lane feels too slow for a game so dependant on quickly changing lanes. Also the theme is a bit too abstract for it to stand out. The only hint of the theme I got was from your description of the game.

lolshouse 2014-08-28 06:35

Great idea, animations feel slow and clunky in relation to gameplay mechanics. -Flurkin

mechanicmoon 2014-08-28 15:14

Good game, it's fun

uvwar 2014-08-29 04:48

Really fun music. The scrolling was a little too slow for me though. Also: not related to the theme. At all!

teamquadratic 2014-08-29 04:59

I didn't have very high expectations, but I actually really enjoyed this. Issues such as dodging sometimes being near impossible detracted slightly from the gameplay, but otherwise it was simple and nice. Good job!

"404, The file you're looking for has been deleted or moved" D:

puppetmaster 2014-08-29 21:44

+ sound effects
+ animation
- theme

dtruby 2014-08-30 03:14

Having a delay before registering the shoot key isn't a great idea - it foiled my trial-and-error attempt to control the game. Switching lanes was painfully slow, and looked quite weird - might have been better to only slightly rotate the car, if at all. I like the art style a lot, and really dig the music, but it gets a bit too busy towards the end with the pad.

pansapiens 2014-08-30 06:08

Great fun, cool pixel art (muscle cars !) and I love that progressive soundtrack. I sort of zoned out and kept playing for longer than I would have expected :) I think it would feel fairer if the player hitbox was a little smaller, I seemed to clip logs too easily with the back of the car when changing lanes.

lvyn 2014-08-30 12:17

Good and fun game, but no related to the theme :(

PS. I love the music!

dookie 2014-08-30 23:55

Suprisingly fun little game :) I played it a lot longer than I though I would at first sight.

dohan 2014-08-31 10:28

Although it has nothing to do with the theme, it's a fun game to play.

umu 2014-08-31 21:49

I like the graphics and sound, but the gameplay feels kind of stale. Because you are limited to 3 lanes and change very slowly, I didn't feel like I had very much control. There weren't many tense moments of "Oh man, I almost hit that thing", which are key to Burnout/Spyhunter kinds of games. Also, because the enemy cars shoot along the same line that you use to shoot at them, it's impossible to shoot at them while avoiding them so health loss is practically guaranteed with every duel.

haymanmarc 2014-08-31 21:52

Very retro. Simple, straight-forward gameplay.

moi93101 2014-08-31 21:54

remember me old school games ;)

depp 2014-09-01 04:54

It's fun, and the music is catchy.

crefossus 2014-09-01 07:11

Dying from a transition and hitting a barrier in between lanes feels wrong. I think ti's from the size of the car and the way it switches lanes, but I'm not sure. The controls take a little getting used to but they work out.

Maybe ramp up the pacing a bit more (don't put death barriers in until a little bit).

Music is a bit intense. It feels like two tracks are playing. SFX are nice.

vividhelix 2014-09-01 07:13

Fun game and good music, though not really related to the theme :) But, a game is a game, and it's better than many I've played.

sikosis 2014-09-02 04:28

Simple yet fun. I enjoyed playing

paveldlouhy 2014-09-02 18:21

This is fun! I like the game. Keep it up! :)

losttraindude 2014-09-03 13:37

I really like the graphics and the overall gameplay. It seems to be not so related to the theme but as far as the game goes is still fun to play and engaging!

Sometimes can be hard to survive, but some strategic shooting helps :D

Good job!

chowee 2014-09-04 18:11

Solid entry but as you said, not really conected to the theme though.

The graphics and sounds are the best parts of your game. Gameplay is solid and very nice but the game sometimes screw you over (randomization does that ^^) and the controls feels a bit too unresponsive in my opionion.

Good entry overall, I had fun :)

igoramendola 2014-09-06 17:41

Nice game! Like others said, it's not related directly with the theme, but it is cool and it has pretty nice graphics. Also, the sounds are good :D

agecaf 2014-09-07 08:53

It's surprisingly more fun than it seemed! The gameplay is simple, but very well done.

klianc09 2014-09-07 22:02

Nice game, like the graphics. The music was... strange.
If switching lanes would be faster, that would have been cool.

madmaw 2014-09-10 08:45

Shooting cars, grabbing thick wads of cash, what's not to like?

h1s2 2014-09-10 21:21
