Totally nice game, but need better graphics and some music.

Pretty fun. Hard too.

some funny 8 bit sounds would add so much to this!

Great idea. It's a bit difficult at the moment (my high score was 13). Would definitely like a way to influence the direction of travel. But I really like the concept. Pretty cool!

Great idea, sound effects would have been awesome.

Very nice game! Good usage of the theme. The graphics are really basic but I didnt rate you on those. High marks everywhere else thought!

A little simple but clever concept, executed well! It is short and fast paced, which makes it very addicting. If you expand this idea a bit I could totally see myself playing this on my phone while waiting for a bus.

Nice idea, music would have really been rad. Cool game!

It's fun, and very addictive. A little difficult, but that's part of the fun. Things to add would be some sound effects or graphics.

It has a cool mechanic, some sound would've been nice but still pretty solid. I had fun playing it, nicely done :)

Good game, Great twist on this kind of game !

Definatly a fun game, my record is 20... and that took more attempts than I'd like to admit. Good work, I can find no faults that you didn't address above. Good job!

Hi there. Nice idea. Think that it may be too difficult as the gravity and impulse from single press of <space> are both too high, so no fine control possible.
Shame no sounds.

I love the simplicity and the difficulty... easy to learn, difficult to master. Well done!

seraphki 2014-12-11 02:31

I like the idea, simple and quite fun. Well done! =D

Fun little game. My best score so far has been 19.

Nice idea! Fun, simple and difficult. I only have a couple of issues:

- I can't restart with the space bar? It just causes the ball to advance by one frame.

- Sometimes the ball shoots downwards when it hits the wall, even if it was traveling up at the time. Consequently, when the ball moves left you get an easier start than when the ball moves right (you can wait for a while without pressing the space bar for one, but not for the other)

Nice, simple game play - maybe a bit hard in the current state (can you stop a ball from hitting the top? I didn't see a way).

Innovative mechanic, made for a very fun one button game. I agree with your ideas for improving, maybe adding a rotation variable to the jump for the player control.

If you want to experiment with different object shapes, I recommend looking into the Nape physics engine, which can be integrated into HaxeFlixel.

High Score 22! Took a while to get the hang of, but I enjoyed it. It reminds me of the simple fun of old arcade games. Some (tilt-sensitive?) level turning and non-obnoxious sounds would help a lot, in a mobile adaptation. This is the sort of thing I'd totally play in my downtime.

Really hard, but fun.

riocide 2014-12-17 15:11

Excellent concept!

gokuhd 2014-12-27 01:50

Simple and engaging, mobile devices would be perfect for thisĀ”
