Cool game, the art on the human-size items really reminds me of cool spot and is sort of nostalgic to me :o

Cool idea. :v:

Really enjoyable game, well executed too :)

Very good game!

nice game and platformer, the jumping felt a bit too "low gravity", but for the rest it is really nice :)

**Overall, I thought it was a nicely executed game!**

Some notes I had: * Jumping mechanics are a little funky (jump height is small, and "jump off wall" extra key is hard to get used to) * Music is nice

Overall though, it's a good start! Thanks for participating!

Overall great game! Love the music and graphics! It took me few tries to know where is not bottom , I use to jump of the platform assuming there is a bottom but I died so there should have been some way to know if there is no bottom,jump wasn't perfect but not bad! otherwise the concepts is good too!

The sound and the graphics are pretty nice. The controls were okay, but the wall jumping was kind of more in the way than it helped most of the time. The camera switching direction was a little bit jarring as well, but I got used to it over time.

A classical platformer, as a person who enjoys platformers, i enjoyed this game :) although in such a humorous setting (bugs and stuff) i would love to see some explicit jokes about bugs (pc bugs, usual bugs and stuff like that)

Overall i hit your game a solid 4, because i love platformers :)

The wall jump mechanic seemed very strange to me, and I think the game could have done without the death drop, because at times it was hard to tell if I was jumping down to platforms I couldn't see or if I was going to fall to my death. Other than that though this is a solid platformer with an interesting take on the theme. I really like some of the environment art details, like the human junk scattered around.

I could only find 3 friends during different plays, and I could only save 2 at most. :D Anyway, really great game, and I think you got your 20th rating from me. Your game is fun, I liked the graphics and the music; however I don't really know how it fits with the theme – maybe the more radiation you have, the worse it is...? The controls are a little clumsy, especially when it comes to precise jumping. Bonus points for having an HTML5 version. Keep up the good work! :)

@megabrutal - the more radiation, the worse you get. And the more 'friends' you are saving, the healing is distributed making the more friends you have the worse the healing power is. Thanks for Playing and Rating!

Wasn't able to get to my fourth friend because I had to go through the staircase of doom twice, which was a challenge for me because of the automatic wall jump ability. The scenery was cool to look at, the realistically sized objects were nicely drawn and the sound of saving a friend was funny as well. Although I get your execution of the theme, I find it a bit strange to be playing a roach which should be quite resistant to radiation.

Life under radiation is no piece of cake. I had fun, the bugs are cute :) One thing though, the camera movement a little disturbed me while moving. God job !
