Very polished for 10 hours. Great work! It definitely exploits the addictiveness of this type of game and I got that "one more round" feeling from the start.

High score: 25. :)

whew that was pretty difficult. I kept trying again and again though :)

Incredibly fun! Also, the sound effects are perfect!

Wow, this is awesome. It's very difficult, intentionally, but I stuck with it for a while and actually got pretty good at it! Super satisfying animations, and a great sense of humor conveyed just through the feel of the mechanics. Great work!!

Very challenging, but very fun and nice looking game!

Very cool looking game but really hard controls for me... Love the stop motion type graphics!

Very fun twist on the theme. Very addictive
Highscore 29 :)
light form op plz nerf

Really fun. The mechanics work really well and are very enjoyable.

wahooney 2016-04-20 07:31

Thanks for the feedback, peeps! orkybitz, I agree with you on the light being op, have a cunning plan. I'm going to post a new version with some tweaks (I'll mark it for LD-clarity).

Fun! Seriously. I'm seriously bad at this though. Can we get a "tutorial" level to get used to the controls please :D

jimjam 2016-04-20 15:58

Woot! A cool 17 points!!

That's really awesome! I had a hard time getting used to the controls, but when I did, it became really satisfying to get into the rhythm of switching between the forms. It also feels like more of a cerebral challenge than your usual runner-type game, because you have to think about a lot more in terms of how the physics of the different objects work.
Nice one!

I like the aesthetics. Cool application of theme onto an infinite runner/jumper. Super difficult though. I wish it started out slower in speed. My high score was only 5. These commenters who get scores in the 20s must have godlike dexterity. Great job for 10 hours!

Really fun game:)

Runs a bit slow on my computer, but might just be me. Pretty fun and fast.

Impressed with the level of polish. Love the meaty sensation when you crater - takes the sting out of failure :D Really fun too, great job.

Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description

siryakko 2016-04-23 11:18

The concept is really good and addictive you should continue working on and making a finished game out of it

wahooney 2016-04-25 20:15

Thanks again, everyone!

@Freank, sure thing ?

@siryakko: already happening ?

wahooney 2016-04-25 20:54

Pardon the ?s, they were supposed to be emotes :P

joemid 2016-04-26 00:42

Gorgeous Love the look, feel and mechanics. The best I could do was 9. :P

wahooney 2016-04-30 17:49

@joemid: you have a ways to go, my college has 54 ;) my best is 44 :D

Fun! Very good job with the visuals and sound. My high score is only 21
