One of the best I've seen so far. Congrats!

Fun little game.

Reached 9m.
Like the concept, also fun to play and challenging!
But the height of the blocks is not so understandable, would be cool if it had nore sharp edges
But 5/5, thanks for fun :)

That was pretty fun! Cute idea. It would be nice to be able to see how tall the platforms are at a glance.

Solid entry with some nice polish. The Perspective makes it hard to read the height of the platforms. An animated character would be nice, though that's hard to pull off in 3d.

I find it really tricky to gauge exactly where I'm going to land, or how high I am, with the perspective, but I'm also really tired. Maybe if you exaggerated the shadows or centred the view a little more? Otherwise, really good!

good gameplay :) I reached 29m :P

Love the take on the theme. Great camera angle!

Cool concept! Nice work!

Nice

I really like how polished the game feels! It was fun, challenging and nice to look at.
Like the others, I found it a bit difficult to figure out the height of the other platforms.

Good game, Solid game play.

Great Entry, Had lots of fun. Can get hectic. Good work

Really cool!

The problem as said above is understanding the height of the blocks :P Maybe some guides on the wall and or the blocks could help, some visual feedback to fill the lack of stereo, but otherwise great!

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

I didn't realise the lack of height information was a problem - I must have just gotten used to it testing it every few minutes for two days.

I've thought of some things that could help but unfortunately I don't think it's the kind of thing I'm allowed to fix after the 48 hours are up.

Simple and fun, mate. And thank you for the kind boost after getting into lava. :P Way way better than torturing us with ticking damage. Really like that bit. I can imagine it being fun in a grid too! Ie: tap left x2 to move left 2 blocks, then you can ramp up the speed and difficulty. OH BOY!

I like the concept. Gameplay is reasonably fun also, though the controls feel a bit floaty, and the camera angle makes it very hard to tell which blocks are higher.

Hi there. Found the instant death a bit frustrating... Was very bad at it ;) Liked the music. Got a spring!

nesis 2014-12-12 08:33

Nice game! I loved the music, and the idea was very unique, and played well with the theme, not needing to make it too abstract to create a fun game.

sinistragames 2014-12-13 00:54

The perspective was a bit unforgiving, but I really liked the idea of this game. Decent controls as well. Good job!

Love the concept and gameplay! Title got me right in the childhood feels!
