Fun game :) The graphics are really nice, and that explosion when you hit something looks awesome. I like the platforms change on replays, keeps it interesting.

this game is fun!

The bicycle was pretty hard to control, but then again that might be the point. I liked the way gravity changed as you made your way up/down the level, and the graphics were great.

Nice graphics, pretty fun.

Cool concept and graphical style. Getting to the half-way point was an awesome revelation of how this fits the theme.

On my first attempt, there was a jump I just couldn't make - next try I didn't have that problem, and had a blast.

Liked it. The gameplay seems heavy and old-school at first but then you start feeling how accurate you have to be to time your jumps on your bike's wheels and its feels good to me. Nice implementation of the theme by the way. Hope you'll polish the game a bit more (like improve walls left/right transitions, add in game instructions, musics, etc.) and release it for real. Good luck with that.

It's BEAUJIFUL. Seriously, nice art. Sound effects are fun too.
Simple gameplay, with a nice 'twist'. The death animation made it feel forgiving when you missed a jump.
Good job!

Very fun little game. I really liked the flip at the halfway mark!

riktothepast 2014-08-26 03:49

What a great game!, loved the way you used the theme. Congratulations!.

Pretty fun. Good job!

Vertical platformer on a bicycle is awesome.

rozaxe 2014-08-26 13:49

Fun game !

Good work!

I liked this a lot :) First off, the explosion was brilliant :P The biker and astronaut were very nice as well, good graphics. The sound effects, I enjoyed, background music would have been nice though, it gets a bit repetitive. Very interesting idea with the gravity changing half way through, that was not expected :) Moving from one side of the screen to the other could use some cleaning up, but otherwise, everything seemed to work how it was supposed to.

Fun game!

freudian 2014-08-26 13:54

great game, fun to play simple easy controls. I liked the change of physics

sojabird 2014-08-26 13:54

Wow that's very good art! I wish I could visit the restaurant at the end of the universe ;(

jellycakes 2014-08-26 13:57

Really cool, didn't know you could HOLD space to jump higher, improved my platforming experience quite a bit after that :P. Nice job!

rodroy1 2014-08-26 14:03

Nice looking and interesting idea, my only issue is that the controls are very slippery, and jumping kills your momentum. The random levels can make almost impossible jumps too. Other than that you did good.

beardogames 2014-08-26 15:26

Haha, this was a blast to play, and nicely tuned for ramping difficulty! Lots of cute and well done touches, like the adjusting gravity and the death star in space. Nice work!

dickpoelen 2014-08-26 18:44

Haha, I did not expect to go vertical. Guess the astronaut was a rather big clue :)

veryfinestlions 2014-08-28 12:52

Really like the clean cartoony look of this! Controls felt a bit weird (with the sudden change in horizontal speed when jumping in the first half of the game) but it played fine nonetheless.

ragepaint 2014-08-29 23:35

>_>...... the command to jump is space on the web version, and even if I click on the game first, space still takes me down the page. Wut...

robotfriend 2014-08-30 02:37

Thank you @Rage for letting us know. We put a google form on the page and it broke the space bar function. Fixed now! Thanks again.

andybrown 2014-08-30 06:41

I loved the background art; it enticed me to progress to the end. The explosion was pretty funny as well. The reverse of gravity was pretty awesome. One thing that bugged me was the loss of horizontal momentum on jumping. But add in some music and this would feel like a finished game, nice job!

oddly-shaped-pixels 2014-08-30 10:46

Super fun, I had a great time with it and the twist is just so unexpected and innovative. Great entry!

snicklodocus 2014-09-04 01:45

Cool idea. I liked the half-way point reveal! Some of the jumps were pretty hard, since momentum behaved a little strangely. Good job!

cricklewood 2014-09-04 12:29

Cool sound effects. Getting to the opposite side of the screen feels dodgy to me.

robotfriend 2014-09-04 19:31

@Tribly - Dodgy? Can you explain this further?

liquidminduk 2014-09-05 07:56

very fun with a great graphical style! Great work!

jellonator 2014-09-07 03:29

I like the graphics and the gameplay was pretty good. The sound effects were a little lacking, but seriously, who needs them?

lotusgame 2014-09-12 17:24

Fun and well done !!

hypnohustla 2014-09-14 17:17

This was fun to play. :) Cute graphics. The controls were a bit hard to get used to, but nothing too serious.
