Interesting game. Fun and challenging.

terracottafrog 2016-12-12 04:31

The jumping feels like it sometimes doesn't work in midair (I am counting the jumps)

Intriguing idea but is frustrating as a result of this.

emmelineprufrock 2016-12-12 04:40

Interesting. It was really interesting despite how simple it was. The controls were a bit floaty, but I really enjoyed it.

laylow 2016-12-12 04:50

Cool game! The controls do feel floaty, but other than that, it's nice, short, satisfying game.

I like it. The boss battle was nice.

Here are a few things you might want to work on:
It's very glitchy.
It's laggy.
Annnnd, it would be nice if you practiced your art a bit. :D

avocadosan 2016-12-12 04:59

I like this idea! The difficulty curve was pretty neat! :D

jack-lance 2016-12-12 05:09

It's a really good progression! I especially liked the vertical spike pillars that overlapped three zones, that was nice level design.

loyance 2016-12-12 05:27

Very nice game!
I liked the idea of "changing" room, to fit more content into, well, one room. The boss sprite is very neat, although other sprites lack details. No concerns about music

bendmorris 2016-12-12 05:30

The hitboxes on those spikes :(

tauka 2016-12-12 06:01

Man, platformers are the best, one of my favorite genre. I've beat the game, it didn't seem really hard after N game, but it felt like your game was inspired by N.

attrition 2016-12-12 06:04

My favourite element here was the dynamic levels, nicely done and like the art style. Control was a bit finicky but overall I enjoyed this. Good job!

jk5000 2016-12-12 08:41

I especially liked the use of the Theme. The difficulty level is a bit too high for me. But overall well done.

vini60 2016-12-12 14:18

Interesting platformer. I just think that the deaths don't count much, but it's great overall!

avalkyrie 2016-12-12 17:19

The ground feels too icey, but overall the controls are ok, just take some getting used to. I liked the sounds and the enemy dinosaur things.

harark 2016-12-12 17:33

I really like how the room keeps changing. Clear graphics.

erikiene 2016-12-12 18:28

Pretty cool, I actually was considering a "growing room" idea myself, albeit a 3D one. I think You did it better than what mine would have been, good work!

paradxil 2016-12-12 18:30

The controls were really frustrating but I thought it was a creative use of the theme. Overall a good idea just needs a little more work.

stefanie899 2016-12-12 18:30

I enjoyed it! Interesting mechanics -- my only problem was that the controls feel a little floaty.

samuelsousa 2016-12-12 18:48

That's one fun little game. Kept happy till the end :)
Not a great fan of the pixel art but Great work nonetheless

nycolas 2016-12-12 18:56

Really interesting! Despite the graphisms, I liked the game.

sawtan 2016-12-12 21:15

Yay I won! Really great game, a good deal of fun and it was hard to let it go at all! Great job!

cr4zyt3rry 2016-12-12 21:50

i spent way longer playing this than im gonna admit.

trashlord 2016-12-13 00:52

I won and I'm happy! Idea is fresh, jumping is healthy (and deadly). Hate spikes hitbox and death conveyor sometimes. Game needs some delay after death.

ema1ih 2016-12-13 02:54

I like the idea, it's really challenging

certainlycanyon 2016-12-13 03:26

nice game! graphics could have used a little more time, but great overall.

dude_the_hero 2016-12-13 03:46

Woo good!

dude_the_hero 2016-12-13 03:47

Woo! Good game.

really good game, i just died 11 times until finishing it (am i a pro xD?)

i liked the progression a lot.

and there's a little bug that prevents the player respawn when it dies and costed me like 5 lives.

mrwillowb 2016-12-13 04:49

nice Game

alexanderk 2016-12-13 05:09

good game, fun to play. Please add more good graphics.

bunn1e5 2016-12-13 05:28

The spikes felt like they would get me before I even touched them. It was a bit annoying but still fun.

thatguyminib 2016-12-13 07:07

Lol I couldn't stop playing! Great idea and execution!

kraftkar 2016-12-13 11:22

Fun game! Cool room mechanic. Boss battle was interesting, nice to see working checkpoints.

pcmxms 2016-12-13 12:00

18 deaths. Nice way to "cheat" the one room theme. Good game overall.

winwanwon 2016-12-13 18:38

Win the game with 25 deaths! Very fun game but some items are hard to understand its ability, it would be great if the game has some SFX when I damage the boss.

Nice game! enjoyed it :)

roaringcatgames 2016-12-13 19:17

Watch out Super Mario Bros! There's a new platformer on the way with spikey-shelled turtles on hotwheels!

Fun and frustrating at the same time! I thoroughly enjoyed this.

tommarx69 2016-12-13 19:56

Maybe the game I spent the longest time to play :) Very funny, and I liked the simple graphics !

leondryaso 2016-12-13 20:42

The graphics were, well not great, but the gameplay was really fun and I enjoyed this game a lot, got to the end with 33 deaths :D

warmlemon 2016-12-13 20:48

simple but deliciously enjoyable. Shoulda give something that makes the boss show some hurt, confuse on how to kill at first.

mine10blox 2016-12-13 21:21

jumping sorta sucks some of the time, but it's actually very fun. Graphics and audio aren't very good, but the theme section is awesome!

mighty-buxx 2016-12-13 22:16

Very interested game with original idea. I love it.

justking14 2016-12-13 22:25

Interesting idea, but it was kinda glitchy. Found myself popping up in different checkpoints from time to time, and at one point I just became frozen in midair

ceosol 2016-12-13 23:07

It would be good having some visual feedback when attacking the boss. Even a little blink would let the player know that shooting him has an effect. I know it makes a buzz sound and sometimes says "Ouch", but while you are avoiding spikey wheel turtles, you aren't really looking at the top left.I was live streaming this last night (although I do not know if anybody was watching) :)

michalidis 2016-12-13 23:21

I really enjoyed playing the game - it was simple and intuitive to play and the game taught me how to play it and what the goal is without giving a direct tutorial
Great Job!

didi 2016-12-14 11:56

You know, I got used to the little purple toy.

miggygman 2016-12-15 03:50

Really fun game! The mechanics are very smooth, the changing environments worked great, those moving spike walls were threats on 3 levels! That's some intuitive design, if I've ever seen it. Overall a fun play, Good job!

pieceofcheese87 2016-12-16 03:34

Great game! Really cool concept and well executed

thecrancher 2016-12-17 11:28

hey there, so even though the graphics aren't the best, you made up for it in the game play, that was fun to play, oh and also, i got stuck after hitting of of the buttons

sandbloom 2016-12-19 10:46

Brutal!!!! Nice old game!!! Hard to play but satisfying!!! Thanks for that jewel!
