Cool theme integration and simple but addicting gameplay. Nice job.

siryakko 2015-04-20 06:47

Thanks for the comment, i may continue working on the game a bit later, i've some idea for levels and game mechanics :D

A simple concept that has been done before however it isn't normally done as well as you have done it here. I love the pressure you feel when holding the fruit that makes you want to play fast, but when you do you crash into walls more often.

siryakko 2015-04-20 10:18

That's exactly what i wanted to make players feel. The urge of going fast and be careful at the same time, that's the same with the dash i've added in the end. Glad you liked it, it means a lot to me as it's my first game.

Fun, relaxing game. It might be just me but it felt kinda weird moving trough the enemies but I guess the game wouldn't work if the enemies hurt.

Nice gameplay and the animation of the eyes were really nice too, congrats.

thumbgarden 2015-04-20 16:25

Love the music. I couldnt beat the level it was hard. It would be cool if you could use the weapon in a few different ways, maybe throw it. Nice game!

siryakko 2015-04-20 16:33

@Hyoga-3D happy you noticed it. It was in my last additions to the project :) - @thumbgarden I thought about the throwing part, but didn't success to made it work a really nice way and without being a big risk for the hero's health. thanks for the comment :)

thephantom 2015-04-20 16:34

the game is nice and addicting .. however the fruit following just needs some inhancmemts

siryakko 2015-04-20 16:35

@Xgor, to be honest in early version of the game the enemies were hurting you if you weren't carrying the fruit. I've also some ideas where the enemies would be wandering all over the place and detect you. I might improve the game in a near future. Thanks for playing

siryakko 2015-04-20 16:48

@thephantom thanks for the comment. I think i'm gonna find a way to make it stay in front of the hero at all time to avoid the floating effect

esayitch 2015-04-20 17:00

Very stylish and cool. Only complaint I have is the fact you have to restart from the beginning instead of the level you are in. Controls could be a bit tighter as well, but the concept is very good and the game is pretty fun. Sound is pretty appropriate as well.

Good job!

siryakko 2015-04-20 17:05

@esayitch The restart when you die was meant to be like that to had difficulty. Thanks for your comment :)

koredozo 2015-04-20 19:38

Not a bad game!

A health bar would really help see your condition at a glance, and I agree the enemies would feel more like enemies if they could harm you in some way while you're not carrying the fruit.

mrschlag 2015-04-20 19:41

Great job ! simple and very fun, thanks !

luisdc 2015-04-20 19:42

Nice game. Many times I just start playing without reading the controls and tutorial, but in this case I had to go back to understand the mechanics. Good job anyway.

siryakko 2015-04-20 19:46

@Koredozo, i've retested the version i've uploaded, and you're hurt by the enemies while you don't have the fruit. You juste lose 5 points of health (if you look at the top right of the screen) i thought i had removed that but it's still in it. Just missing a sound or graphic feedback to that.

siryakko 2015-04-20 19:48

@LuisDC, i added that in the end because i thought that maybe it wouldn't be clear enough. I note each comment for my next game and the new version of that one. Thanks for playing :)

colludium 2015-04-20 23:07

Cool theme and idea!

rectangular-tim 2015-04-21 00:57

I'm not sure how I feel about this game. There just doesn't seem to be much to it. I can see, how the game might become interesting once more features are implemented, but as it is it simply wasn't fun to me.

siryakko 2015-04-21 05:25

@rectangular Tim, yeah i understand that, here it is more a start of a concept that need to be dig a bit more to become more enjoyable and fun. I've a list of idea for next iteration of it that i'm gonna try later, like having the enemies to shoot at you when they see you, having more items to gather health, i'm working on finding a way to make a fast pace stealth game.

yamzho 2015-04-21 07:45

Simple gameplay, nice concept. Good job.

johanw123 2015-04-21 13:21

Simple and fun gameplay! good work.

pyrosneak 2015-04-21 15:30

FInished with a score of 4950, pretty fun game :)

siryakko 2015-04-21 16:22

Nice score @PyroSneak :)

ajopart 2015-04-21 17:00

Nice entry !

junber 2015-04-23 20:25

Nice game, cool mechanic and fitting graphics (i dont know why but i really like that your character is reversed when heading left) but was lacking a bit of challenge.

ermrk 2015-04-23 20:28

Controls on gamepad was quite inaccurate so I switched to keyboard. I like graphic style and sounds.

siryakko 2015-04-25 09:30

thanks @ermrk, i've included the gamepad quite late in the making and didn't know if i had to remove it or not. @Junber i'm working on the concept right now to make the fruit throwable and stuff. Thanks for the comment :)

voider 2015-04-25 15:06

Nice game! Really adictive. It was a little bit frustrating to start all over again each time I loose.

orangespikygames 2015-04-26 08:30

I enjoyed the level design.

gruhn 2015-04-26 14:55

Good concept and an interesting mechanic. Nice game.

siryakko 2015-04-26 15:44

@OrangeSpikyGames and @gruhn thanks for playing and your comment. Do not hesitate to follow the game on Gamejolt, i'll try to keep it up to date in the following weeks :)
