Nice looking character, cool graphics, I like it.

kamikaziuk 2017-07-31 12:34

Nice game. The characters remind me of cartoon network.

cyfixus 2017-07-31 13:38

Super engaging and intense. I don't think I've really gotten that frustrated at myself for not paying attention to colors! I feel like I should play this game to wake me up in the morning

Hey sweet game! The graphics are some of the best I've seen so far! I really like the added touch on the title screen of the letters animating. Might steal that for a future game :)

So, the highest run I got was 19 and then never came even close to that after. Really hard game for my brain to process! At first I thought it would be too simple and boring, but it's surprisingly challenging. Really enjoyed it.

Very cool. Great graphics.

First off I want to say I'm really impressed that you managed to make such a slick looking and well animated game in 48 hours. One of the prettiest games I've come across today!

Gameplay is so simple and yet so frustratingly difficult (in a good way!). I lost count of the number of times I switched the characters when I didn't need to. Sound design is great too.

This game was rather challenging for me. Quicktime events are the bane of my existence so I haven't been able to see if there is much beyond the first few seconds of the game. Overall this game is very well made and would be pretty fun for someone not me. My only complaint is that I would like better context for the actions. In the game the players should understand what they should do and why they should do it without needing a description. This creates context for the actions. Beyond that, good game.

ganbaregameskyle 2017-08-01 00:06

@dracominer I'm confused by what you mean by "context for the actions". You mean you would like to see a backstory that contextualizes the gameplay? Or do you mean that the mechanics should be conveyed better?

ick 2017-08-01 00:23

Simple and fun. For some reason I got confused really easily, not a negative but difficult game!

jchaplin 2017-08-01 01:31

Love it!

thorneto 2017-08-01 05:54

This game has the best menu of any of the games that I've seen. Very good visual design and the game was pretty fun despite me being bad at it. One of the more polished games I've seen for sure.

duck-games 2017-08-01 10:13

Simple, yet, kept you coming back for another try. Cool Game! :smile:

sergixnet 2017-08-01 17:12

Very fun :joy:

red-fan-games 2017-08-01 18:01

Really good art! Some of the best I have seen this jam. Game play is simplistic, but fun for a few minutes. Doesnt really fit with the theme, but that is not necessarily a problem.

gris 2017-08-01 18:03

Very simple mechanics with good graphics and music. Tons of fun! Well done!!

idinakloppstock 2017-08-01 18:09

I really like the graphics and animation. Its a nice little game that challenges my brain (my highscore is 23 :D).

yvanor 2017-08-01 20:22

Nice little game, I love the graphics (the style and the animation). The gameplay is simple, but playing it requires to be really focused! Funny use of the theme, good job!

michael-feldman 2017-08-01 20:53

Not trying to brag, but got a pretty high score. I like how the longer you get into it, the harder the patterns become with the batteries. Interesting level design. I don't know if coincidence or intended, but it seemed like there were distinguishable chunks of the level. That made it somewhat easier for the player (myself) to digest. Like oh ok now we are heading into this section... Anyway nice colors. They remind me a lot of my game. Good sound loop and really nice sprites for the characters. Well done.

toonteamj 2017-08-01 21:58

I found the game to be pretty fun. This runner has a nice twist to it to keep you on your toes.

rombus 2017-08-02 00:30

Nice concept man! really fun game, I'll see how far can I get :D

Congrats on the entry

fl 2017-08-02 01:09

This game mess with my brain! Nice job, especially the graphics! One of the best games (if isn't the best) that I had played on Ludum Dare so far. My best score has 67.

roguenoodle 2017-08-02 10:47

Quite addictive - nice one!

exr 2017-08-02 13:25

What a challenge! Good job on such small period of time. It's harder than expected, but I wanted to play more. Congrats!

geck0 2017-08-02 19:39

Funny game!

gagapete 2017-08-02 20:55

The graphics are great and so is the audio. The gameplay is fun and entertaining for a short period. I don't get how people manage to get sores above 20 points! I guess the game would profit a lot from online leaderboards.

ericquagmire 2017-08-02 21:05

Well done! The game looks finished gj :)

herniewise 2017-08-02 23:42

Fun game! I think my brain is a total mess or maybe quick reflexes are tough for everyone xD Solid overall.

tim-eriksen 2017-08-03 00:16

Oh man, this is not a game you should play when tired! Interesting game with well made graphics and over all mood of the game. Good job!

tacohej 2017-08-03 06:56

This is messing with my head. It looks simple enough but man... I still have to think twice on every battery. Well done making a simple mechanism interesting

daydreamerstudios 2017-08-03 08:56

The game looks pretty nice and I love the music in the menu. Good job!

risingoat 2017-08-03 14:07

Really intense game, but I don't really see the theme here.

tyguy 2017-08-03 14:28

The "Awwww Yeah" at the end :joy:... got me so good! Simple game play but fun and addictive! Great job!

galan 2017-08-03 15:30

Really challenging, and I love the art style.

grandtheftmarmot 2017-08-03 18:57

That was a lot of fun!

simonhutchinson 2017-08-04 21:52

Nice entry. I love the graphics, and I'm stoked to see more and more compo entries that actually have some audio! I'm not a huge player of infinite runners as a genre, but this seems like a good one to me!

goloso-games 2017-08-06 18:27

Simple, but really fun. Graphics are great and game is quite challenging. Good entry.

maggardjosh 2017-08-06 20:46

Awesome! Real addictive and easy to grasp. Graphics were really good for 48 hours! I like the speed build up as well. Overall, a really good entry!

levidsmith 2017-08-07 00:07

I like the color matching gameplay. Wish there was a little bit more to it. I liked the comic book style artwork and the voice acting. My best score was 47.

bombjack 2017-08-07 20:18

fun and tense game. good job!

christina-antoinette-neofotistou 2017-08-09 15:23

Super excellent! I got vibes of ikaruga, but cuter :D It's so hard to design a good one-button game, and you totally nailed it! The art was spot on, fresh and energetic, reminding me of roller derby and scenesters.

Kudos!!!!!

Simple, but well made 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=qYbvh0qo8Vs

linky439 2017-08-13 11:11

Simple but effective game! ^^

I like the art style, and the game is addictive. It looks pretty simple, but it ain't that easy to go far! My best score is 54. The audio is nice too. Congrats on the good work :)

tiberiusuciu 2017-08-14 00:29

Very well made it. It was psychedelic but thats what made it mroe challenging.

Maybe there should be more challenges in the level, like walls or something. Regardless, I enjoyed your game!

Great Job!!

mrerdalural 2017-08-14 12:09

Simple and fun I like it! Thank you for making this game!

drachmor 2017-08-14 19:20

I really liked the art style, and the audio was decent too. I didn't really see the theme represented all too well or originally, but it was pretty fun nonetheless! The gameplay was simple, yet fairly addicting. Maybe some more mechanic variety would help the game along (but you made this in 2 days - I get it). Overall you did a great job!

belga54 2017-08-16 13:07

Thank you for the few funny minutes you gave for me ! Really interesting challenge, simple but cool ! I liked the characters animation. I dont see the theme here but still a good game !

thefudster 2017-08-16 18:08

Really well done. I managed to get a 49. It gets really crazy when it gets fast. I enjoyed it a lot. It's quite quick and simple so there isn't a lot of depth but it's well done and feels polished.

oxrock 2017-08-17 17:47

I like the art and audio in this game. The gameplay is pretty simplistic but I think it would work well on mobile platforms. Even though you're running to get batteries, I don't feel that it fit the theme very well. You explode from collecting the wrong batteries as opposed to ever actually running low on power.

luthwyhn 2017-08-18 06:33

Someone else already said it, but: Nice Ikaruga vibe to the experience, and nice artwork. Very fun little game :)

rikoclon 2017-08-18 15:03

The game-play actually works really well. Using the same art with different colors makes the game challenging, causing you to hesitate and second guess what color is where. it was difficult but fun! Great use of well done assets! I enjoyed this entry a lot!

frogcheese 2017-08-21 14:33

Cool game with a mechanic that was a lot harder to wrap my brain around than I expected it would be. Having to keep in mind where each character was versus where they needed to be seems like such a simple thing but I managed to mess it up half the time anyway. Great job on the graphics, too - simple and to the point. My one gripe is the music, which I quickly found grating. Thanks for putting in a mute option for people like me.
