Great Game, The Power Ups are an awesome addition.

I like the take on the theme

I like the nes story bit but the controls feel very off to me.
I think that you should differentiate the air from the ground though, preferably by sliding less when you're on the ground. Now it's crazy hard to control your blob and that just makes me go mad ;)

Really liked the whole "get pushed offscreen" idea.
I agree with seledorn though, the player feels slippery on the ground.

I'll agree with the previous comments, controls aren't great, but the game is still fun to play.

The idea is very good, but I think that player shouldn't slide that much, because a lot of times I died because I tried to move to another place and slipped

The pickups were nice (powerups, powerdowns). I liked having the difficulty options for the extra challenge, it also feels it speeds up / spices up the gameplay a bit.

As mentioned, the player character feels a bit floaty. But I guess that's because it makes it easier for the other units to push you around to make it challenging.

Solid and fun entry with a nice interpretation of the theme. The controls are ok, but could be snappier.

Pretty nice game ... Really good for the theme! I love the graphics well done!

Good take on the theme. The controls was a little too "unresponsive"/"slippery" for me.

jaloko 2014-12-09 08:12

Cool game, I ended with a score of 4772. I felt the player slid along too easily especially for the smaller platforms. Anyway nice job.

leondryaso 2014-12-09 12:56

The movement is really floaty, but still pretty good game!

I liked the slipperiness. I also liked how going to high can kill the player. It's deceptively easy. I scored like 4000 points on hard mode and died, because i took it too lightly. :P

I love the power ups. "Jump Boost" shot me right off the screen and I died! Fun game!

defectivemelon 2014-12-09 23:11

I liked it, it's fun and a little addictive. I was concerned about it being too easy, and then I tried hard mode, haha good job.

rincewind_cz 2014-12-10 01:19

Wow, nice take on theme! The graphics could be bit better as this style distracts me a l̶i̶t̶t̶l̶e̶ lot ;-). Movement and controls are very polished. Good job!

Clever interpretation, and really fun to boot, with good audio (especially the spawner sound effect).
Hard mode's a blast!

fullmontis 2014-12-11 09:10

I like the concept. The controls are very slippery, it's hard to control and make the game frustrating, especially when trying to jump on very small platforms...

lion123 2014-12-11 17:11

Thanks for all your nice comments! The controls are made that way so enemies could easily push you. Otherwise the game would be too easy. I mean REALLY easy!

elvaq 2014-12-12 19:25

Good framework for the idea here, it's obvious that you put a lot into making this competitive. However as a player I often felt frustrated by the controls and the lack of options. Maybe I didn't get any powerups but the reason people love double-jumps and stuff is that they give you a chance to correct a mistake. Overall this game was really punishing. But pretty nice and original I would also have to say

jpmit 2014-12-12 19:59

Nice take on the theme. Great graphics and sound. I am able to stay alive for a long time though and I am not very good at playing games. So too easy maybe?

mrexcessive 2014-12-13 19:05

Hi there. Love the pixel art and sounds. The animations and AI are interesting also. Didn't find much to do in the game, just stayed in one place for about 2 minutes, moved three times to avoid them I think... lots of attention required, but not much happening requiring player input. Good job!

hippolyta 2014-12-16 20:39

Very nice take on the theme! Graphics are fun too. The only thing that was a bit too hard for me were the controls, as someone else already said it felt a bit too "slippery". All in all verg nicely done though!

Tiny platformers will never die!

ethproductions 2014-12-29 16:49

Awesome! It's very innovative, and I loved everything about it. Those enemies are really fun, both to avoid and to shove off the platform. The power-ups are a great idea, too!

I just got over here, but congratulations on the theme ranking! Sorry I didn't play sooner!
