The web version isn't loading for me, and chrome flags your EXE as malicious, so it was automatically deleted when I tried to download it.

Web version is not loading. Any other place where I can play the game online?

@AndyBrown I think there is a conflict with the newest version of chrome and the GMS HTML5 exports - I can get it to work in firefox but not Chrome. Unfortunately I don't have a work around right now besides downloading the full HD version.

koalamo 2014-08-25 14:37

Ok I think I may have fixed the chrome issue - it may run poorly on slower machines though.

The character reminds me of Tweek from South Park. There's a bug where you move 2x faster if you hold both A and LeftArrow for example.

Neat game. The art is nice, the song felt odd.

Nice graphics and different gameplay concept, which is always plus.

(By the way, the web version made Firefox crash on my PC.)

The gameplay is fun. I like the graphics underground, especially the panic look on the player/creature. The overworld doesn't look as nice. I'm missing sound effects and I don't really like the background music.

Fun to play, the boulders and bats won't stop coming! It's so difficult but loads of fun!

koalamo 2014-08-25 15:55

Thanks for all the feedback so far!

For those commenting on the music, it was sudo-randomly generated (with some tweaking) from tones.wolfram.com. The sound effects in general are what I'm least proud of (which inspired me to make the mute button on the top right). In addition, the sound may have additional issues (other than just being bad) on the web version.

@Lysznie - Make sure you're utilizing your burrow(SPACE) ability to avoid boulders! While burrowed you are invulnerable to the bludgers (purple things) and boulders, but the bats things can still get you while burrowed. My second regret is not making better directions :)

it seems fun but too hard for me, too many things to do...

It took me some fiddling to figure out exactly what I was supposed to do, but once I did, it's a pretty addictive little game.

Learning Curve too steep for me personally but I worked at it and enjoyed it. Looks good too!

tbamberg 2014-08-25 20:48

Now that the controls and guide is up, this is much more playable. Sound is solid, art is great, overall a fun little thing, tho it gets a bit monotonous for me.

I think this game makes great use of the theme, but was having trouble getting the controls to work 100% of the time (or maybe i just didn't understand them)

jharler 2014-08-25 21:17

Good use of the theme. Innovative game play. Well done!

andybrown 2014-08-25 22:12

The web version worked for me now. That was really fun! I died a lot from those flying things, but once I got used to where the gems were thrown from they became a lot easier to deal with. I like how it tied in with the theme, great job!

Nice mecanic, cute visual and the web version works great, nice entry, the only bad is we have to read the tuto, an image at the start explaining the control and goal will be nice, anyway nice entry ! :)

jaj 2014-08-27 13:48

Nice visual style and great animations. Nice game too. Audio didn't really match with the rest of the game.

buffalophil 2014-08-27 18:56

What a cool game! Great mood and fun

zkenshin 2014-08-28 00:47

Good job!
