Congrats on completing!

Really nice game. I like the portals and the obstacles. Great job.

Great entry!
I would have liked the "W" key to allow the character to jump.

Very well done. The game seems very polished for being done in 48 hours. The challenge of the obstacles forcing you to use the portals was a good idea. The music was a little annoying after a while though.

Pretty cool! Wishing for a bigger level and it was hard to move up and down without being able to see the enemies. Maybe add some more hit points would have helped. The moving saws were a nice touch.

Lovely graphics, and cool design. It's good to be able to rely on the order of where the blades come from. Makes it easier to plan (and to facepalm, if you forget the connections again)
The bottom-left portal is a bit tricky, because you fall down from the same area as the enemies... I suicided that way more than once.

Wow! Great feedback everyone. Thanks!

It's a fun game, maybe the music is too annorying.

jpmit 2014-08-25 16:57

Nice game!

Pretty funny. At first I did not notice portals, and then I just accidentally stepped into it and 'WAAAH!' :D

jawm 2014-08-25 18:09

audio too loud, also not much to do with theme. still a fun game, good idea forcing the player to use portals to avoid the obstacles!

pinqu 2014-08-25 18:28

Nice game, but its hard to see what's happening above you. Also rapidly pressing left shift brings up a windows message for sticky keys, perhaps a left control is a better option.

The music is... rather morbid. I was expecting something more humorous. Nicely polished entry.

vallar 2014-08-25 21:21

That game was fun and I really loved the art. Great job with the portals too.
I liked the concept.

I didn't feel the music matched the "whimsical" feel of the game but it was an OK loop nonetheless. :)

mr-possoms 2014-08-25 22:33

Good job, those saw blades caught me by surprise :)

adriczero 2014-08-26 13:13

Did not care for the mouse button to shoot.

simileinchen 2014-08-26 21:20

Cool game! However the opponents were no real challenge

kato 2014-08-26 21:22

Fun little score-attack, reminds me of Super Crate Box. It would be fun to shoot bullets through the portals. I like the background track.

naytron 2014-08-26 21:22

Those dudes were indeed RUDE. Fun game, could imagine it getting hectic with loads more rude dudes in there! Might benefit from something telling you which direction the blade is coming from so you can plan ahead a little?

feybrant 2014-08-26 21:24

It's a cool game, very friendly, easy to understand and scalable. Good job.

infinitenutshell 2014-08-26 21:27

Neat! Thought it was going to be easy until the moving pillar things started coming, but then it was pretty challenging.

nerd-burglars 2014-08-26 21:27

This game was fun, but I wish it had been a little more difficult. After I memorized the sequence of the moving wall, it got pretty easy. It reminds me of a game I've played before, or maybe I'm imagining things again..

spang 2014-08-26 21:37

Very Nice game, I liked the portal idea, the only "problem" i found was the player moving slower, and jumping moving really fast. But in general is a good game. ^^

atomicvikings 2014-08-26 22:01

great gameplay! the music put me off a little though. other than that: Great work! you've earned that beer!

split82 2014-08-26 22:03

Nicely done platformer. Really a lot of fun.

onlyslightly 2014-08-26 22:27

Really cool visuals, I feel like I really got the hang of those portals. Great job!

dragonxvi 2014-08-26 23:08

Could've done with a bit of polish on the effects? The blood splat's a bit too weak, and wasn't immediately obvious what the portals were. Like the trick of getting past the big spikey thing using the portals though!

hyoga-3d 2014-08-26 23:24

Nice little game, just one thing is that is very difficult to escape from the guys when you are on top of the screen, maybe you could add something to let player know that has na enemy coming.

mrexcessive 2014-08-27 20:10

Hi there. Like the animations and gameplay. Found it a bit hard once the blades arrived, survived first three of those both times I played. Good professional production.

alvivar 2014-08-28 20:24

good idea for an arcade.

when i appear up, most of the time I get killed, probably the spawning zone for the monster should be placed somewhere else... i think.

frr171 2014-08-29 06:43

Great shooting mechanics, and awesome music!

awesomeusername 2014-08-30 17:12

Nicely done. I was expecting some sort of goal other than staying alive, but it turned out that was difficult enough. :P Interesting and innovate gameplay, I like it.

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-07 23:04

Fun game! I included it in part 21 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/5xO0Ucfr9co
