Such a cool idea! Had a nice time playing it

bcasaleiro 2015-12-14 02:35

Really cool idea!

boundtotheearth 2015-12-14 03:04

Looks great and its a really nice idea!

justinooncx 2015-12-14 03:22

Art is crisp and polished, and the mechanics are pretty interesting~

mukult 2015-12-14 03:30

Wow!! I love the art... Nice work on the mechanics too!!

bushmango3 2015-12-14 03:35

Great graphics. Good sound. I love that there are two paths. Would love to see more.

fuzzywuzzie 2015-12-14 03:45

Well done! I am terrible at dodging arrows though :( Beautiful art, innovative take on the two buttons!

pandoes 2015-12-14 03:49

Really great, more difficult than I anticipated

2015-12-14 03:50

Great Job broh

Finestep 2015-12-14 03:58

Very nice, shame it got cut short.

lokiyuki 2015-12-14 04:01

pretty well done! also a good level design

pixel-jolt 2015-12-14 04:31

what's with the jew stars

jonnopon3000 2015-12-14 04:50

This was a really great game to get on my first random pick. Nice work

dialglex 2015-12-14 05:22

I found the 'u win' screen and I was happy.

luxorix 2015-12-14 05:34

Very good!

blohod 2015-12-14 05:40

Very nice game and art, shame about the coarseness of the sound effects though.

morseamalgam 2015-12-14 05:42

Fun one to play. Short, but would enjoy playing more of it. Turns the limited controls into a strategic element rather than simply a limitation.

edriavw 2015-12-14 06:12

great color tone, cool concept!

fiddenmar 2015-12-14 06:40

Well done!

honcho 2015-12-14 06:50

Interesting controls. Fun and quick

2015-12-14 08:57

Just AMAZING ! Seriously just finish it :) !

oal 2015-12-14 09:43

Makes good use of the two button controls. It's very easy to die, but the checkpoints help not making it too annoying. The transition from screen to screen is a bit slow at times so it's hard to judge what the best action is when enemies are approaching, before you start walking back again. But overall, I really liked the style and innovation.

korvexx 2015-12-14 10:24

Art and audio are super well done! :) Good fitting in with one of the themes too. I like the idea, but it can be a little frustrating waiting to shift left to right or vice versa. I think the design, however, is super spot on.

2015-12-14 11:36

This is freaking awesome. I am throwing money at the screen but there is nothing happening. Great level design, solid controls, very satisfying space freakin' ninja elf! When I figured out I could knock over the turrets I was hooked! Can we have more levels please!

pavel_insight 2015-12-14 13:46

Timing is everything. :)

thembi 2015-12-14 15:10

Fun. A little too short. I would like to see more =D

gerjj 2015-12-14 15:31

I love that art style. You did well with how it plays using only the up and down arrows. The way it looks/feels/plays is super nice, the sound effects and subtle particle effects are really good - nice job!

zarkith 2015-12-14 16:10

Please say you're going to make a post-compo version with more rooms... ;-;

iamspencer 2015-12-14 16:13

maybe I'm just bad, but that was pretty challenging, very fun however!

great take on the theme, I loved the mechanic!

the art is wonderful as well, very 'cohesive' looking.

Overall, there's not much to say, I loved it. Simple to understand gameplay that provides surprising difficulty and thoughtful level design, nice work, very well done!

roseownage 2015-12-14 16:29

Very unique, fun idea. Good job!

codecranker 2015-12-14 17:24

Neat concept! When pressing up or down, it was kinda hard to judge in which direction the character will go. I would press down hoping the character will go left but instead it went right. A clear indication of this will definitely remove that guess work and will make the game more strategic.

chubb1337 2015-12-14 19:48

Really nice game, had a lot of fun playing it!
I even made it to the end, 't was though but do-able.
The checkpoints are a good idea ;)

gmisail 2015-12-14 20:17

Takes some time to get a hang of, but overall a quality game.

psychomonster 2015-12-14 20:22

Wow this is a very nice game. Nice game art... nice dead animations :) Good job

2011petia 2015-12-14 21:10

Very nice game !!

cottonkitty 2015-12-14 21:11

Well done idea. I wonder if you would broad it on steam.

fistmaker 2015-12-14 22:34

Really well done game! Everything fit together well, and the animation was very smooth! Great game! Very hard!

lmt 2015-12-14 22:41

Woah, the graphics are awesome, and it plays really nicely and looks polished.

sineglitch 2015-12-14 23:35

Like how snappy the game feels, also its very difficult :)

esayitch 2015-12-15 03:53

Stylish game and good idea. Graphics and sfx are spot on, but maybe add some background music?

Also, some ingame instructions would be useful, for instance I didn't know that you could knock turrets over until I stumbled upon one by accident and saw it fall over xD

Great entry, good luck ^^

tipyx 2015-12-15 12:20

Oh, I like you art, remind me some little green haired guys :D. However, the gameplay is cool too, a pleasant mix between action and puzzle :)

piechronicles 2015-12-15 13:30

This is such an interesting use of the theme. Really enjoyed it! Loved how the enemies can shoot each other and the puzzles/levels were fun to work through :)

kimau 2015-12-15 23:33

U WIN! Awesome game

local306 2015-12-16 16:29

Stylish espionage with two button controls! Great job!

newbeings 2015-12-16 19:52

Awesome job!

Pretty hard - I would like restart to be faster.

pjimmy 2015-12-17 00:18

very cool and inventive, engaging and fun to play, and on top of that, the visuals are great, very like old school nintendo, well done :)

kunonooni 2015-12-17 03:04

Art is top notch! sounds are a little loud. Overall its a really neat game :)

oldpeculier 2015-12-18 04:51

Nails the theme. I found it very hard though—couldn't get past the first couple of screens.

eduardo 2015-12-19 16:35

Really like it! I love the color palette and the mechanics. It's fun!

rnlf 2015-12-20 13:36

I like the concept a lot, this is a very good use of the theme. The controls are a bit unforgiving though, if you don't hit the up or down button at exactly the right time, the elf doesn't take the entrance and runs directly into the next arrow.

The graphics are just beautiful!

flannelvindicate 2015-12-21 17:11

Pssst - you are in today's LUDUM DARE TO BELIEVE! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW3u_aFLXVA

el_kloklo 2015-12-21 17:56

I really liked how much details are in the sprite, like the dead guard with an arrow in the back or the transparency of the main character shape.
Good job also for gameplay.

diventurer 2015-12-21 22:35

Very well polished game! Interesting mechanics that I think works nice!

lereveur 2015-12-21 23:02

Clever take of the theme ! Fun and challenging to play, well done !

tapehead 2015-12-22 13:22

really great idea! an very clever usage of the theme! very well done!

euske 2015-12-27 11:41

It was a bit short but fun!

scorched 2015-12-28 19:32

Wow, your controls are one of the best! Plus cute graphics! U WIN ;-)

firetwin 2016-01-03 19:57

It's a little bit short, but very well polished! Kinda ingenious mechanic you've come up with. Would love to see this as a full game with a thematic and story put into it.

pixelpotions 2016-01-04 14:50

Difficult but fun! Liked you graphics and the gameplay a lot! Could've used some music but all in all a solid entry!
