Graphics and music really great, I don't know if you made everything yourself but still a great work.
Very funny game!

otrorainteractivo 2015-08-24 21:39

Hi, thanks lot. Yeah, I made all the graphics and programming. Music is from incompetech.com

bocodillo 2015-08-24 22:08

Quite fun! I like the idea a lot and the graphics look really nice. Good job.

I found it really funny and surprising how you don't know what to expect. The bad thing about this is sometimes you just get higher and suddenly you are death without doing something bad. The touch of the jetpacks and the flying japanese people is funny.

Love the game mechanics. I especially liked the "bonus" area at the end of a level.

otrorainteractivo 2015-08-24 23:27

Thanks a lot. Those bonus areas were my favorites. I would have liked to include more, but time beat me :)

really well polished for a game jam, well done!

svenfrankson 2015-08-26 14:12

Nice polish, well done !

Graphically, this game is nice and consistent, and it looks good. Kind of inappropriate for a game about a monster slaughtering innocent hang-gliders and turning them into stars, but I can look past that.
Occasionally, a flying sea mine (sky mine?) or beehive will approach too fast for me to conceivably react. You should probably stop that from happening.
If I jump off a platform and land on the trampoline from a great height, my jump height is mostly reset. That was annoying.
I'm pleased that there are platforms in the sky though. If there weren't, it would be a much more frustrating game.

Really nice job on making a nice and polished game. I really enjoyed everything a lot my only slight gripe would be that the bomb spawns sometimes seemed to prevent me from progressing at all. But overall a really awesome game.

Well packaged with the intro screen, credits, sound, graphics, smooth gameplay. But feels like a clone of existing games out there, to the point that it was just change the graphics of a template and drag and drop items, not much innovation. Maybe not too original, but looks like Construct 2 is a decent game engine.

nichii 2015-08-26 14:28

Fun little game, Sometimes i die from dropping on top of the trampoline though. Maybe it's my fault but a small tutorial would be nice. xD

otrorainteractivo 2015-08-26 14:51

One thing I can assure you stahlmanDesign. This game was NOT made from a template. I have 4 year of experience as a game designer, 3 of them using Construct2. This 'decent game engine', as you called it, is so easy to use for a no programmer like me that you don't have the need to use a template when you can code everything from scratch in a short time. So your comment is completely misconceived. Apart from the jump mechanic that you could track back to Doodle Jump, this game have nothing that could qualify it as a clone. I'm curious to know what game are you exactly referring to.

Very polished entry! The character is very adorable and the music really sets the mood and encourages you to try over and over. It gets very hard to avoid bombs and bees you haven't seen before at a certain speed level but I guess that's the point!

McFunkypants 2015-08-26 17:42

Really simple in a good way - accessible and fun immediately, and it ran nice and smoothly. Good work!

ndebruyn 2015-08-26 19:22

Very nice game for mobile. Well done.

daydreamcorgigames 2015-08-27 01:49

Simple but fun.

jackrugile 2015-08-27 06:08

I love the character, well done!

sunflower 2015-08-27 09:38

Them monsters sure don't know how to beehive. >:(

The yay:
- overall presentation
- bonus areas

The nay:
- the trampoline was acting odd; sometimes I was standing on it, but when pressing up I'd jump as high as I'd normally bounced, anyway
- jetpack actually is a bit of a trouble once it wears off, as you can't gradually learn the obstacles to avoid with subsequent jumps

Rather solid entry overall, but a bit buggy (and I don't mean the bees). ^^"

Well polished game. I actually wanted to do a few playthroughs to get the highest score.

deBage 2015-08-27 21:55

Wow, this game is so vivious! I played almost 10 times before write this comment to say congratulations! Incredible game!

And thanks for the comment in our game, Rockyzilla! ;)

deBage 2015-08-27 21:58

*vicious :P

frederickk 2015-08-27 22:15

Very cool concept with a nice twist! :)
In Firefox it had no sound, I really don't know why, had to play on Chrome.

crazyminnowstudio 2015-08-28 03:09

Hooked me in immediately. Great and simple mechanic with the right look and sound. A bit of fine tuning and some achievements, and it's ready for market. My score: Peeps(67) Distance(11,495)

cheesyramen 2015-08-28 19:43

Quite a cute, fun game! It feels really polished. Nice job!

togimaro 2015-08-28 20:05

Really fun! And the graphics are cute

crucknuk 2015-08-28 20:08

Nice game! I like the graphics. I had a problem with audio on firefox, but it works fine on chrome

solarexplorer 2015-08-28 20:09

Simple and fun, controls felt good. The speed increase was a little too fast for my taste.

tweedle 2015-08-31 21:58

Really great game! Well polished with simple mechanics. Audio and graphics are fantastic, and I enjoy the lighthearted feel of this game.
If this were released on iOS or Andriod I think it would be a hit!

roaringcatgames 2015-09-02 18:46

Great graphics and overall fun. A "happy monster" theme for a change. I could get the music to play?

Great Entry!

superfreak 2015-09-14 09:55

Ridiculously cute! Great take on the theme with some of the cutest artwork going :) Great job!

jupiter_hadley 2015-10-18 23:01

Super cute game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/mQTSmMf-zUY
