This was actually weirdly hilarious. Your head getting bigger from coins is an interesting spin on the coin idea, and the implementation sort of made me laugh. The controls could use some work, they're pretty slippery right now. The music and sound effect for dying were on point though, great audio overall :D

Hahahah that explosion sound is hilarious. I really love that you've flipped the convention of collecting coins to avoiding coins! Of course the first round I played (even though I read the instructions) I collected the coins and then exploded my face on that corner. Years of gaming has given me an instinct for collecting coins that I'm now going to question on every new odyssey I explore ;) Great work! See you next jam.

I like it. Nice take on the theme.

Good game, you nailed the theme, good one

Great music and well done on fitting the theme! It's a shame there are no checkpoints (that I could reach anyway...). This is a fun game though.

Nice concept, but the controls feel a little sluggish (that can be intentional, though)

Pretty good concept, the art is simple but really good, the gameplay is very fun, overall it is a great game !

Awesome concept, cool music. It was so satisfying to beat!

Thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it! Maybe you are right about the controls that are not that well adjusted. It used to be way more bad at early development stage, though! :grin: It would be nice to hear how many of you have managed to play it through. @tvance: Actually there are some checkpoints, so you just need to try harder :wink:

Cool! I like the concept of the growing head. Wish there was a bit of risk/reward associated with having a head too big but sometimes you wanted it anyways but that could always be added later. Good music, very challenging. Really glad there were a few checkpoints - wish there were a few extra checkpoints.

Love the idea! It's a very funny concept. I love how big his head can get. But I think it needs more frequent checkpoints as I got stuck on the red blocks after the elevator which I probably could have done with more checkpoints.

Very good idea. Good level design even if it's hard. Cool sound effect when the head explode.

Funny idea!

Ahhh a good old rage game! Used to love these a few years ago, this one as an unique charm to it, I like it! Very nice idea!

mipelius 2017-12-08 06:04

Ok, maybe there could be more checkpoints, but I kinda like the idea people getting nervous hitting their heads against the wall again and again :grin:

liquidream 2017-12-08 12:56

Friggin' hilarious - especially that "slow raspberry" sfx when you die! :D

Great game and concept. Quite difficult, but enough to make you come back! That funky music was also great. Good luck! :D

Found myself trying to go after coins every once in awhile even though I knew they were bad for me. Enjoyed the soundtrack a lot too!

tim-eriksen 2017-12-10 12:48

Cool game! Good adaptation of the theme :) The music was nice!

thebillington 2017-12-10 12:49

Genuinely great game. Got stuck for ages on the elevator, brutally difficult and bags of fun!

volatile 2017-12-10 13:45

This game had one of the best implementations of the theme I have found so far! I seriously wonder how you came up with this idea :grin: It is a bit frustrating sometimes (because your head is really sensitive and the jumps are just a bit too high for comfort) but nevertheless it is a cool game.

potatolain 2017-12-10 17:48

This is a hilarious little game - I think my only real frustration is that I can explode my head with zero coins by simply walking into a wall the wrong way. The head explode sound cracked me up. Great entry; thanks for sharing!

AUHGHEGHERGFSADWs! TOO HARD! XD But really good game!
