cute platformer, well done

Cute little platformer. I think you should mention controls somewhere, I had to find the shoot key myself.

Maybe the character should have a jetpack or something to reach top of the level. right now best way to get up quickly is kill yourself and hope you spawn up, because climbing is hassle with these jump physics.

I entirely second the idea of a jetpack. That would tripple the awesomness :D Good platformer, but I think it needed more player content (powerups or somthing) Good game though!

dlowe 2014-12-09 00:40

Jetpack is a good idea, thanks. Maybe in v2 ;)

An interesting platformer, the control's are a bit hard and you have no idea what you are doing and that doesn't turn out to be so bad.

Music is a bit repetitive for me :D After a while I felt like the whole world is there to kill me :D Cool game, good job!

You should improve the level design, it's too random.

You won but you died 54 times. It would be cool to have the number of deaths displayed during the game so that I would know that minimizing that number is one of the goals. At some point I started using deaths as a means to get to remote places. For some reason while you can move left/right with A and D, you cannot jump with W. It took me a moment to realize I can instead use the arrows. It annoyed me a bit that the player character accelerates so slowly. It wasn't obvious that after collecting all the boops the boss would appear. I'm glad I managed to get the last few of them. I like the idea of the terrain constantly changing around you. I think it adds a lot to the gameplay. Overall I had a lot of fun playing the game, and I wish there was more of it.

Nice dynamic stuff. Is that boss an integrated circuit (IC)? Cool.

Nice audio, I would like to have a more responsive controller. So the character stops when I lift the keyboard. But other than that, great job!

Contrtols feel pretty solid. One thing I noticed is that if you hold jump you can continue unless you do a move or collide in between, maybe that was intentional? But I feel like holding jump and continuing to jump would be neat. I also like the speed of it. Physics on the bouncing 2d elements look nice. This would feel great on something like iCade. Anyway, nice work.

the pickups were really hard to see for me for whatever reason, so it took me a bit to figure out what was going on.

Cool twist for a platformer, being only in 1 screen. Good job! :)

A nice and solid little platformer.

gafblizzard 2014-12-10 10:59

Mentioning the controls (and a mute toggle) would be nice. I had to find 'X' to shoot as well. Also 'A' and 'D' move left and right, but 'W' does not jump for some reason.

The game seemed to get laggy near the end and it became quite difficult to find platforms to jump on to reach the boss. With how easily you die, the other enemies and hazards could probably be disabled in the boss phase without hurting the experience.

Random map generation looks nice and adds some fun. When you're collecting last dots you feel a little bored but then this big thing appears and adds some dynamics. Nice set of enemies.
I didn't get is there any ending and how to enteract with the boss (?), so this part is a little bit confusing.

pulsartronic 2014-12-10 11:57

it is not bad at all .... it is not the best i tried but not bad definitely ... it works well on linux using chrome ... it should have a technical rating !!! i would give you 5 stars there :D ... javascript from scratch :) good for you !!!!!!!

brocade 2014-12-10 17:41

nice game!

diegohenriquez 2014-12-10 20:57

graphics are pretty cute as well as it is pretty fun. doesn't seem to have an ending though. just goes on forever even when you collect everything :P. Overall its pretty good :D.

Well Done guy ,, good game

pestelcrew 2014-12-10 21:44

Good idea for a platformer. The game is addictive. Good job!

soulgame 2014-12-10 23:57

well done, maybe the physics need to be less heavy to make the controls better.
Items are graphically a bit confusing, i don't know what is dangerous or helpful.

marcellus 2014-12-11 11:17

well polished platformer, good entry

arcturusdeluxe 2014-12-11 17:55

Cool game. Solid gameplay, although it feels a little 'heavy'. I like the cute pixel art as well.

johnbrynte 2014-12-26 21:33

The jump physics really felt unnatural in the beginning, but I actually learned them in the end. Made it through to the boss without knowing about the laser, then I realized there needed to be something more. I agree that jetpack would be nice. Maybe add laser and jetpack as upgrades throughout the game?
