Good work!! Really like the feeling of having to run to recharge batteries, even knowing you are late and you will die :D

Clever idea, but the gun isn't terribly useful. You can get by just fine without it.

Not bad! Like the idea recharge gun on light.

I like the idea, but I never had a reason to shoot. I just kept going until the game crashed (I'm assuming a memory issue)

I've not been able to play the html version on chrome/osx. The arrow keys do nothing

For some reason, I had some problems to activate the controls on the web version (it works sometimes, but sometimes not), but I thing that this is just a browser bugs (chrome).

By the way, very good game. I liked the pixel art stylized graphics! :D

Great mechanic and use of the theme and nice challenge!

Nice concept! Would have been nice to get some score when shooting to the other guys. I don't know if just me but sometimes the restart button didn't work on the web version. Overall is a fun game. You should add more content to it later(like power ups or something) :D

Expected to see some Stanislav Lem novel here :) Joke aside, it a catchy game. Simple, attractive, good old feel of graphics and sound.

Not working in Chrome.

Unfortunately I can't play it on my Mac, neither Safari nor Firefox :P

I totally get the complaint that the gun doesn't really feel that useful, that was one of the main things I was trying to finish up before running out of time. Thanks for playing though!

As for the web player issues, it was always a bit finicky, but what seems to be the problem exactly? If the game loads but controls don't work, try clicking on the blue border on the left or right of the game to give it focus (clicking the full screen button should work, too).

I was unable to use the controls on Firefox, and the game appeared as a black screen on Chromium. (I use GNU/Linux Ubuntu.) :(

wenright 2017-08-13 04:15

@theaspiringhacker Hmm, I'm running chromium/ubuntu as well and it's working here... You could always try the windows version with Wine. Anyway, thanks for trying!

Really nice endless runner game. Graphics looks nice and fun. The only thing that could be better is level generation - it is sometimes too deficult, sometimes too easy.

I loved the minimalist black and white style ! Fun entry :thumbsup:

bluellama 2017-08-17 14:23

Loved the minimalistic art. The game design itself was pretty great, it was fun to play, although it could have been marginally improved with further tweaking of the game feel (which I hope you'll pursue after LD)

matita 2017-08-17 15:11

A bit simple but funny game!

Loved the art and the recharging through the light.

Great job!

larzan 2017-08-19 10:50

Great endless runner, loved the art style, the fact that you had to actually jump around and not only run and jump, very well done indeed!
