I like the mechanics of losing control of your character because of the "powerups". Some of the jumps feel a bit too finicky, though.

I think that the dynamic jumping was a really nice touch to the very simple controls!

Pretty hard, but I like the concept overall. Watching your character get distracted with the magazine and get hindered by the various obstacles was quite funny, and fit the theme well.

Level design could've used a bit more polish as some jumps are incredibly difficult (especially with those deadly burgers in the way), but a solid game overall.

This one did not really do it for me. I tried a couple of times and my problem with it is the speed. Things just go too fast for it to be fun. I could not even hit jump fast enough much of the time to reach some of the easier platforms. This is not helped by the fact that you may also need to measure your jump height. As a runner,I think it functions well enough and the power downs do work well to fit with the theme and I think would make it fun and challenging if the rest of it was paced better.

definitely needs a bit of polish but i think this game is pretty great! Good work! Very challenging

Ok, that was incredibly hard!! But I beat the game. Fun concept, but the controls are a bit frustrating, timing the jump right after another jump. Nice challenge though. Good job man!

That's a really great game actually! Could use some scaling, the windows a bit small and it's hard to see. Over all it's pretty solid. Nice job!

So, the game mixed things I like - weebs - and things I don't like that much - 'jumpin/runner' game. But hey, why shouldn't I give it a shot.

The graphics are interesting, I like how protagonist gets fat after hamburgers. I didn't manage to beat the game of course (I'm terribly bad and button mashing and precise timing), but I enjoyed it for the part I was able to beat.

Enjoyed the humor of the game. Responsiveness felt a little off sometimes, like I would jump on a platform, then jump again after landing and he wouldn't jump, but instead just fall off. Also, that one checkpoint, that was just unfair. This is the one I'm talking about

Funny concept and great implementation of it. I thought it was hilarious. It's also very punishing if you don't have bot-level input. It has no ledge forgiveness which makes it near impossible to complete, especially since it has lots of very difficult platforming sections right at the beginning.

Honestly, you need to have an IQ of over 160 to understand this game, because its game mechanics are really complex compared to the same games on the market today. It demands an inexplicable wit from the player as he demands good hours of reflections and thoughts on how to pass certain parts, as it is a totally challenging and complex game for the small minds of the modern world. 9,5 / 10 because Ana pisses me off

good ao menos

Good graphics and use of the theme. Nice job.

ryuzaki-mrl 2017-12-05 05:03

@natsu and I appreciate the feedback. Sorry for the rushed level design.

Some small fixes were made. I guess these aren't against the rules: - Fixed UI glitch when you get a game over while the camera scrolls back to the last checkpoint. - Fixed problematic checkpoint near the end. - Adjusted manga read time.

Loved the idea and the use of the theme! Super funny concept! :D Well done!

The game was challenging and kept me entertained. The fact that the game is 'persistent' between deaths gives a nice strategic element to it (maybe running into items early is a good move, to clear up the path for later).

Thank you for making R a quick restart option even during current runs!

Suggestions:

**Controls**: I did feel the controls were a bit 'laggy' tho, it could use some work there.

**Interface**: mention that Z jumps in the starting window! :D I had to come here to read the instructions

Solid meme my dude

cayleblucas 2017-12-12 12:18

Really nice game, Love the idea :)

jynspielt 2017-12-12 12:22

I wisehd for a mentioning in the game that you have to use z to jump. And also didnt now that you can restart with r. The gameplay though felt great. Had fun challenging me and it was not too frustrating. Maybe some more visual feedback when your timer gets closer to zero would be nice.

haha, cool game. Pretty unforgiving at first (cause of the small platforms) but after a few more tries I had it down! I finished the game and had fun.
