Nice game. Enjoyed the mechanics, but the controls seemed a bit awkward. The simple sound effects added to the mood nicely.

Innovative concept! Love the graphics! Would have loved to have a track in the background but the sound effects make up for it :D Played the game quite a few times. Would play it again. Congratulations and good luck! :D

Interesting game, could be a bit difficult to change lines sometimes

sgt3v 2017-07-31 17:31

Really interesting mechanics, and the game is pretty tough too. After a while of playing can get used to it tho. I believe this would make a really good mobile game if polished.

Nicely thought through and very easy to play. I found myself slightly mesmerised by it :)

Well done.

Nice twist on the theme - "be the power and run away". Easy to pick up and play - tough enough to get a bit addictive - nice work.

Interesting and difficult. I have the feeling that the control does not work all the time. I hit the hell outta the "3" :smile:

Great game. I liked the use of the theme and there was a nice element of strategy in the gameplay.

simonhutchinson 2017-07-31 18:31

Cool (and HARD!). Nice work on a really original idea. It took me a second to get my bearings, though. Maybe "press any key to start" or something like that?

thorneto 2017-07-31 18:47

It took me awhile to realize I couldn't skip over 2 but it became a little easier to manage when I realized that. Hard on the brain but kind of fun.

perdugames 2017-07-31 18:57

Concorco with @sgt3v, would give a good game for mobile.

hhsaez 2017-07-31 19:30

Hard game, but I really enjoyed it Great work!

jakylgamer 2017-07-31 19:42

cool concept , but yea the controls were a bit on the weird side. mainly when dealing with the left and right sides didnt have numbers to help so it was a bit confusing to me. but none the less pretty fun!

lukethecoder64 2017-07-31 20:31

Interesting concept! I'd say the graphics could use some improvment. The 1-2-3 buttons took a second to get used to. Great job!

goloso-games 2017-07-31 20:38

Cool concept, very easy to play. With a little bit of polishing (start menu, controls) it could be an awesome little game.

pauljtbennett 2017-08-01 01:40

I agree with @thorneto, it got better when I realised I could skip 2 lines in one go - good fun :)

Reminds me a bit of Slot Racers.

kunonooni 2017-08-01 01:55

It reminds me of an old Atari 2600 game called Dodge'em. Graphics are crisp and clean. Gameplay is solid. I do have to say it was a bit odd when I started the game as there was no menu and I was immediately in the game. I honestly though it was a demo running until I lost :smile:.

dast99 2017-08-01 03:27

The controls were a bit finicky but once I got going I could do OK, it might have been nicer to use arrow keys to switch (double tap for two).

infernal 2017-08-01 03:47

Nice concept! The only thing I would recommend is making the transitions from line to line more evident.

kthulhu1947 2017-08-01 20:41

Nice little game. I like it. Keep moving forward.

tacohej 2017-08-02 07:18

Cute little game. Think maybe two buttons would be enough!

snowy 2017-08-02 10:28

While the controls felt a *little* bit clunky sometimes, and I took some seemingly unavoidable damage, that didn't keep me from enjoying the game. The concept and the mechanics are really neat and clever, and there's a nice difficulty in there. Though really minimalistic, the graphics really helped shape the feel of the game.

Overall, it's a cute game, and you did a great job on it!

schuster 2017-08-02 15:07

it took me a few tries to get the mechanic, but it's not bad. Add some music and a few different courses and you have a good game.

kabalatrance 2017-08-02 18:13

Fun game and interesting concept. Its difficult in a good way Only problem is that I often missed transition area, maybe some kind visual queue (on hover) would help. Congrats

g12345 2017-08-09 10:08

Interesting take on a classic concept, a bit hard for me but it's good fun.

abductedplatypus 2017-08-14 17:33

Simple game. Quite fun. However I I am not a fan of the controls scheme, I would rather use WASD or arrows for this. It gets really frustrating because of it. Other than that it's very decent and definitely a fun one!

azziliz 2017-08-15 14:03

Nice mechanics. Makes the game simple and challenging. I liked it.

2017-09-12 13:22

Neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 39 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk2ETXlss4Q
