Crashed my browser

ahmedmohi 2014-08-25 09:22

Good work , maybe it need some puzzles or something not to just to collect the green dots also one note if i fail on the red box I don't day :D i must hit from side don't know if you mean or not .

vinhuman 2014-08-25 09:25

It's obviously bread and butter platformer mechanics but it is actually quite difficult which makes it pretty entertaining. I find it funny how you can hug underneath the level by pressing up and colliding with the ceiling.

elkiwydev 2014-08-25 09:27

Ads... Not correct man.
Also I can't find the "connected worlds" in this game.

ViliX 2014-08-25 09:28

My browser crashed :( (Chrome 36 Windows 8.1)

inateno 2014-08-25 09:31

Ads crash my browser to

gwa 2014-08-25 09:33

works pretty well for me but it wasnt easy!

miro662 2014-08-25 09:33

bakwards, ViliX you've to disable AdBlock on that site (Worked with Chrome 36 on Windows 7)

oadt 2014-08-25 09:34

I like the jump mechanics on walls

ceriseghost 2014-08-25 09:37

Once I figured out that you can jump against the walls and ceilings, this game made a lot more sense :D Nice Entry!

hazzahazzam 2014-08-25 09:46

Hard, could have been better with some better level design.

luismb55 2014-08-25 09:46

The game is really challenging but the platform mechanics feel really good. I like the puzzle-like touch of realizing where to give up a life.

Good job!

alaxe 2014-08-25 09:48

Made fun by it's difficulty. Ain't any connected worlds for me. You could have at least made a few levels for different worlds and connect them with like portals. Or have portals in the middle of the level or something like that. You didn't even try on that one ...

adventureislands 2014-08-25 09:57

Pretty sweet, nice controls. Didn't have much to do with the theme, though.

What got confusing was that it seems like there was double jump, but it's only useable after you have executed a wall jump first. It cannot be done after a normal jump.

falcon11445 2014-08-25 10:08

it could of had some better level design and the window was to small for the browser

feybrant 2014-08-25 10:15

It's a hard work on 2d physics, i like it even that i can "trick" the enemies by just putting myself over them :). Good job !!

juju77550 2014-08-25 10:18

I can't find the "connected worlds" Theme in your game.
It's very simple but its a beginning.

terrabalt 2014-08-25 10:19

I do "Like" the game... however, i don't think this game should be here. i see nothing but the name that connected with "Connected World", and that's violating a rule in the 48-hours compo.

darkengineer 2014-08-25 10:21

Pressing 'N' doesn't work, overall good catch.

sharkxx 2014-08-25 10:25

Its a really hard but fun game :)

techblogogy 2014-08-25 11:00

Very nice and minimalistic.

kedume 2014-08-25 11:03

Nice game, but i can't see the relation with the theme competition.

doubstract 2014-08-25 11:18

Crashing for some reason :(

cinnamonmelonpig 2014-08-25 11:22

Great entry! I love how devoted you are to rating other peoples games, you are awesome!

hexagore 2014-08-25 11:58

Very difficult! Jumping off the sides of platforms to get that one hanging in the middle.. and then landing? :D

tigerbyte 2014-08-25 12:20

Difficult, but not sure if the controls are the main contributor to the difficulty or if it's something else.

jetl33t 2014-08-25 12:57

Is it just me or are there no connectd worlds at all?

francoisvn 2014-08-25 12:59

Fun little game, but no source?

tannernetwork 2014-08-25 13:00

Pretty good game!

royvanrijn 2014-08-25 13:03

It has the challenge part under control, it is challenging, but not much of a game yet... Also where is the theme?

ebolbe 2014-08-25 13:24

good work

aglavra 2014-08-25 13:33

Some green dots are difficult to reach (and this is good, this makes player to think) and jumping mechanics are interesting. On my opinion, two lifes is not enough for the first level. 3 or 4 would make the game more balanced.

stepwise 2014-08-25 13:52

difficulty made the game interesting, but feels pretty basic without much relation to theme as others before have mentioned!

marvalgames 2014-08-25 14:17

No-Frills.
It's hard in a good way.
No theme / no source ?? could hurt

yodamaster 2014-08-25 14:37

Solid platformer mechanics. Add some graphics and levels and you've got a sellable game.

s0rax 2014-08-25 14:48

i love but it's too easy for me :)

jsmars 2014-08-25 15:31

Nice game :) like when the controls are responsive like this

huacati 2014-08-25 15:31

Not a fan, bit difficult early on which is a bit too punishing, not much in the way of music / audio. More lives would be better, and controls are a bit strange. No source???

headmade 2014-08-25 16:19

Crashed + Ads

teoacosta 2014-08-25 16:40

Got a lot easier once I realized I could stand on top of the red boxes. Fun!

drmelon 2014-08-25 16:53

Very, very rough prototype of a game here. Maybe a little more time needed?
Also couldn't find the use of theme.

Also, no source code provided? Odd.

deadpixelsociety 2014-08-25 16:56

Running Windows 7 and Chrome. Loading ads on Newgrounds freezes my browser. Sorry, unable to play.

tsamisaherb 2014-08-25 18:20

This was too hard for me

geeitsomelaldy 2014-08-25 18:29

Lacks anything really new or particularly fun. The mechanics were well executed and the audio was clean and functional. Completely lacks any link to the theme though.

cultofmonkey 2014-08-25 19:36

Pretty good - difficult but fast. I enjoyed it

ddfranky 2014-08-25 19:45

Fun platform,a little easy for me and short. However (like everybody said): the theme?

tbamberg 2014-08-25 20:50

This breaks Firefox's flash plugin :(

cstudios 2014-08-25 21:40

cant see the meaning of connected worlds in this one

goffmog 2014-08-25 21:42

This is unrelated to the theme, there's no source, and it has ads. Please consider removing the ads otherwise it could look as though you're gaming the coolness rating to make money.

andrewjamesadams 2014-08-25 22:08

Well... that was fun.

capsizedmoose 2014-08-25 22:12

this is pretty much just a generic platformer, but it's a start :)

nikki93 2014-08-25 22:28

Not really theme-related...

kian 2014-08-25 23:09

It's pretty funny, even that is a kind of widely used game

mechabit 2014-08-25 23:31

Okay game.

rd127p77 2014-08-26 00:49

Works on Firefox 31.0, also bookmarked it!

juakob 2014-08-26 00:51

The positions of the green bubbles is just evil. The game is nice with potential. If you add more levels and put points at reachable positions you are going to get a 100% better game. Congratulations for the entry!

togie 2014-08-26 00:55

love the mechanics

egos 2014-08-26 00:56

Nice platfomer but what is the connection with the theme ?

accidentalrebel 2014-08-26 00:58

It was difficult at first but got the hang of it after awhile. If you are going for the Super Meat Boy controls, I'd say you are close with a little more fine tuning.

Don't see the theme though. Goodluck!

meganopteryx 2014-08-26 01:18

It's really hard! I got frustrated and quit. But I'm not very good at platformers. It's cute and has cute sound effects though.

megamasterx 2014-08-26 01:47

I'm not necessarily fitting the theme, and I had to use a different browser. Bit frustrating.

digital_sorceress 2014-08-26 01:54

hmmm

troyatkinson 2014-08-26 02:10

The game crashed by browser too, any chance of a windows download?

mramaizng 2014-08-26 03:19

Hard to rate.

soulgame 2014-08-26 03:36

Mmh, I usually feel comfortable with minimalist platformer, tho this one seems a bit glitchy. What the hell's going on with double jumps !? :D One time out of two I can't double jump, and I can't figure out why. Sorry if I missed something. 1st level design is a bit harsh for a starter!

teamquadratic 2014-08-26 04:07

Very difficult, but decent gameplay.

blue-thumbs-gaming 2014-08-26 06:06

Congrats on your game! Quite challenging and fun to play but obviously would have been better with some actual characters and also some audio etc. Cheers, Ben.

arthurmaker 2014-08-26 06:27

Okay Game A Little Bit To Hard
, Check Out My Game.

myougahiroshi 2014-08-26 07:16

Pretty hard game, i thought impossible, when i didn't know that there are walljumps

pizzashark 2014-08-26 07:17

First of all, I really like the difficulty. It has that feeling of "I can do better if I try one more time", kind of like Flappy Bird, that makes it hard to stop playing. It kept me occupied for a good 15 minutes, which is surprising, since actually beating if you're already good at it technically only takes about 30 seconds. I don't like that the wall jumping mechanics feel a bit buggy, mostly since you can double-jump in the air right after you touch a wall, and it would have been cool to add a bit more to make it feel less generic.

frr171 2014-08-26 07:34

Cute little platformer, but still challenging!

little-burrito 2014-08-26 09:08

Great platforming mechanics! I don't really see how this connects to the theme, but it's a very fun game. It was a little confusing that both the goal and the enemies are red.

pat-aftermoon 2014-08-26 10:32

Even when you have figured out that you can jump against the walls and ceilings, this game is really hard. But it's fun and addictive.
Otherwise, not have much to do with the theme.

c023-dev 2014-08-26 10:41

Pretty hard. Simplicity is good and cool but I did miss some more defining visual representation. Congratulations on submitting!

almax27 2014-08-26 14:27

Tight controls and minimal to the core but couldn't see the connection to the theme

blindfox 2014-08-26 14:49

Overall it is pretty simplistic but fun. The UI elements look pretty professional and the game handles tightly, but the level design (for the single level) is really lacking. The lack of music really causes the thin sound effects to stand out. Ultimately my main problem with this is that in the single level that we are given there are some objects that seem unattainable (at least within the span of two lives, as some are suicide). Rules like "use walls and ceilings to reach dots" aren't explained at all.

psydack 2014-08-26 15:24

Hahah, It's too hard and this is funny

kiwiboi 2014-08-26 15:59

Crashed my flashplayer too somehow. Please let me know if it gets fixed or how, I'd like to try it!:)

badgerpriest 2014-08-26 16:00

Surprisingly fun once I realized I could wall- and ceiling-jump.

saphyre1306 2014-08-26 18:36

Simple and effective ^_^ GG !

trickfishpie 2014-08-26 21:56

Cool controls. Nice to ride the enemy's

peping 2014-08-26 22:08

It's not awesome, but I kept playing it for a while. Good work.

pjimmy 2014-08-26 22:59

very simple yet challenging, but I can't see how this relates to the theme

toubib 2014-08-27 01:39

i liked it, but looks like jump bugs sometimes...Connected worlds?

srakowski 2014-08-27 02:35

Unexpectedly difficult and fun, good job!

crazi456 2014-08-27 02:39

Nice responsive controls. Pretty fun! Good work!

zolmeister 2014-08-27 07:16

So hard!!! Also, I had to use Firefox instead of Chrome or it would crash

thecolorhacker 2014-08-27 08:17

I like some of the mechanics, like jumping while falling in air. Quite difficult to play, but fun for a little while, rules could be a little less restrictive.

nilstastic 2014-08-27 09:28

Pro: Got a very nice platformer feel to it, not like those horrible box2d games =)
Cons: The graphics are lacking a bit, but you probably know that.

mechanicmoon 2014-08-27 10:59

It's hard to pick some spheres, the game can entertain you for a while

razoric 2014-08-27 16:02

Fun platformer!

stephenhaney 2014-08-28 06:57

Because of the difficulty and wall climbing mechanic, it reminds me a lot of a really rough prototype of Super Meat Boy.

As said, no theme connection, unless I'm missing something.

The difficulty level made it quite fun to play. I kind of wish it started out with 3 lives, though. Perhaps a little too punishing right now?

akymos 2014-08-28 17:37

Good job

ajopart 2014-08-29 07:40

Nice entry !

esayitch 2014-08-29 14:10

Good, challenging platformer. Good job! Just make some graphics :)

infectionteam 2014-08-29 16:44

Movement feels good and its simple just to pick up and play. I did enjoy, but felt it lacked some juice and variation to really keep me interested. Graphics were dead simple, but kinda appealed to me nonetheless ;)

jukimv1986 2014-08-29 17:43

I found it was impossible to complete, but would like to see a walkthrough that proves me wrong. Good effort!

geckoo1337 2014-08-29 22:12

It's too hard for me, but it works fine. Well done ++

liquidminduk 2014-08-30 12:11

this was actually pretty addictive!
very basic but everything worked well

andymar 2014-09-01 15:54

Can't even get past first level lol. The furthest I got was 12/13 then hitting the red circle right at the end. Good game.

ninjascript 2014-09-02 23:25

Ads destroyed my attempts to play in Chrome. Had to switch to IE. Played pretty smooth after that though.

dans17 2014-09-03 05:11

I like how the game's level design takes into account things that would normally be considered glitches.

hb3p8 2014-09-06 14:09

nice)

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-09-09 07:16

Nice little platformer. It's a good basis to start building on it for a bigger and more polished game. Good work!

snicklodocus 2014-09-11 22:46

Simple platformer but fun. I liked the sound effects! There are some strange physics: sticking to ceilings, inconsistent double jumps, but controls were responsive. Good job!
