I liked the unconventional weapon also the glow on the screen when you died was a nice effect. The audio was great as always, watched you make a bit of it on stream. I found sometimes when the platforms would spawn I could get stuck in them. The only way to get out of this was to jump. Overall nice job on this.
Pretty ... bizarre

It's a fun game, decent graphics, really good music and fine from mechanic standpoint (beside getting stuck sometimes).
Shield as a weapon? Well it goes with the theme.
BTW: i get this texture error http://i.imgur.com/Gx1H3gY.png
I watched bits of your stream so i know how it should look.
Really strange.
Audio is perfect ! Graphics are simple ... The theme is respected. You innovated. You made a story, that was good too ! Overall nice work.
The music was top notch, and I really liked the "parachute" game mechanic ! Great work.
Well done man!!!
I really like the mechanic of this, however some blocks did not allow me to move, and at one point the level stopped spawning, causing me to lose :( the music is good!

Music is amazing. The mechanic is quite interesting. I disliked how the game was extremely dark and I got stuck a few times.

The menu screen looks cool and it seems like you could do some nice graphics but the game itself lacks. In all your submissions it feels like you have a ton of potential and then you get stuck on some technical nuance leaving you little time to perfect the game. Music is as good as always in your games.

well the controlls are weird... this is not how physics work... the music is nice though. if you put more effort in the game and not the music, it could have been better. but then again, this was compo so good work
The graphics are simple, the gameplay is fun and the music is amazing.
nice game

I kept getting stuck because I couldn't jump high enough :(
The audio and graphics are good, but the gameplay is not as solid. To jump with W and then with space felt plain weird and the fact that no real difficulty curve other than more enemies was not interesting. Overall good, but needs improvements in gameplay.
Cool little game, and I loved the music!

Really liked it and kept playing for quite some time. Enjoyed the "background story", those few sentences and the death screen kinda made you imagine your own story. Even though you were just playing a red dot on the screen :D
I think the incredible music was playing a great role in encouraging that feeling.
Graphics - simple, but worked out.
I don't think a shield and reflecting shots are great news, but the idea of surfing on the shield was fun, it improved the jump n run feeling by giving it variety.
Gameplay: Reflection and surfing worked perfectly fine, maybe the shield is a little bit too big.
Around Stage 5 the fights get a little ridiculous, once the wave hits you just stand there and wait until they die by themselves.
The placement and variety of the platforms started being fun at around Stage 4, because then you had to work out the surfing in combination with double jumps.
One Problem: (I've played the web version) - sometimes the next part of the stage doesn't get spawned, so you have to perform a "leap of faith" and hope a platform spawns beneath you. Very interesting while leaping from a low platform :D
Great work! Keep up making your videos!
