Ugh, I don't live in France but that news still pisses me off. Censorship sucks.
You chose an interesting medium/context to spread the word with though - props for that.

Thanks ! :)
Well this is an interesting way to spread the word. I didn't know. Thanks for doing this, censorship sucks!
About the game: It's endless if you're fast enough! It contains quite a few bugs(floating hackers, head stuck in platform...), so it could use some polishing.
And it's pretty fun. Great submission!
Cool game dude ! The graphics are cool and the gameplay is really fun !
With a few balance on the gameplay and less bugs it could be a very great game !
Thanks Meta-link !
@joppiesaus, I had in mind to give less time per hacker over a certain score, but had no time for this... :(
It also explain the few bugs, unfortunately. But will polish it asap!
Thanks again, and yeah, censorship sucks :)
Nice game little concept, but I think the platforming it's a bit bugged (the player get stuck on platforms)
Loved the message, made me giggle. A bit glitchy on the collisions, Great graphics!
@dsoft 20 & davient, yeah, I'm awared about the collisions bug. As my knowledge in coding is limited, that's the kind of stuff I wasn't able to get over in 48h, unfortunately :(
Sorry for that, hope it still was a good experience, though!
It's cool how you're trying to spread a message with the game, great to see how such a thing can affect what people create! It would of course be better if it didn't happen. Censorship is awful, good job!
Topical stuff. As someone who makes games, I'd really like people to pay for it rather than torrent it illegally. But I understand there are different ways to make money on your product these days.
@asobitech sure, but imho censorship isnt' a solution to illegal download. There are other ways to make people pay for something, and illegal download can be seen as part of marketing (HBO thanks the illegal download for making Game of Thrones one of the most viewed show in US).
Well, debate on torrent and stuff has no end, but still censorship is NOT why the internet was intended for, though :)
Did you like the game, anyway ?
@PlasterPhantom thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it :)
It's sad there's no audio nomination. I really dig the music.
Interesting game! I like games that promote things... good game. Only issue was that somtimes I couldn't see the full window, but that was fine :)
Finlal, there's no audio 'cause I made the sounds but not the music (that's why I'm in the Jam category, and not in the compo on).
So, as I didn't do it myself, I decided to remove that category :)
Very solid. The music is a nice addition.
Thanks a lot :)
Nice effort on context and cling on system in game. The game's resolution was way bigger than my screen though :(
Really cool game, well done!
Respect : http://prntscr.com/5fghoc
Dommage pour la musique.
Sinon le jeu a l'air sympa mais je n'ai pas pu jouer longtemps car l'écran est vraaaaaiment trop grand pour mon protable. Donc je ne le notterai pas. Mais j'aime le message.
Haha nice !
Oui, le problème de résolution s'est posé malheureusement...J'ai voulu travailler un peu trop en HQ, et choisir le 1920x1080 n'était pas forcément une très bonne idée.
Une erreur que je ne referai pas :)
Good game especially on the graphics. Didn't even know that landing on the heads of hackers or poking them (as seen on the animation) do arrest them. I found it funny though.
Thanks Roan! :)
Neat game, feels pretty good to play, though the collision with platforms felt a bit off (I got stuck a couple of times too). Nice pixel art. I like how you portrayed a message with gameplay, as well, that's pretty clever.
Well done
I like the illegal download count, classic!
Haha, glad you noticed Srakowski!
And thanks Arcturus for the nice words!
Love the note included in the game to give it context, and I really like the theme of the game. The only frustrating I ran into was losing my score when something spawned ontop of me.
Thank you for giving us the news! The mood for this jam is really good, and I liked the character designs. It was pretty fun, too, though I think your collision detection needs a little work. I would often tag a hacker, get the "+1 hacker" notification, and then immediately lose 3--or I would bump into someone, lose 3, and then lose 2. I wanted to keep playing, but I felt like being double-penalized for my little mistakes--and even for my successes--was a little bit too much! Really great choice in music, by the way. It really set the mood well.
Thank you for the game!
I liked the motivation to make the game but didn't really think it delivered through the gameplay. Wasn't really anything wrong with the gameplay (apart from getting stuck in a wall) but I don't think it followed up on what you were trying to say with your game.
I wasn't able to get anywhere, the game window takes up my whole screen, and there still seems to be platforms off screen/can't see the ground. Some hackers spawned off screen so I couldn't see them to reach them :( I'm playing on 1600x900 resolution.
Nice little game :)
I reccomend binding 'jump' to a bunch of buttons (enter, shift, space, etc) so dumb people like me don't struggle to find it :P
Haha will, noticed for the next jams! ;)
Valeour, could you explain a bit more ? I'd like to hear your point of view :)
@Tifu, known issue,and truely sorry for that...I made the mistake to make the game in a High rez, but had no time to add lower rez...
Have no clue if I can upload a fix for it, though ?
Kinda buggy (collisions, hacker walking on air hehe), but pretty fun. Beautiful art too. I loved the mechanics (although sometimes was hard to hit the hackers at the right position). Great job!
Thanks for the kind words, hbocao ! Glad you liked it despite the bugs :)
Nice work! Really fun game, But my head often gets stuck in platforms and that's not good when time is running out. I really liked the music.
Don't forget to make a Linux build next time!
