Amazing ahaha :D.Great idea !

jasperarmstrong 2018-08-13 00:56

Nice game! Especially nice considering you made it in 2h30m. It's simple, fits the theme well, and is unique. At least I've never seen a game in the url bar before.

jimbly 2018-08-13 00:59

Heheh, great take on the theme, and very unique! My score: 17.

alexei-jilinskiy 2018-08-13 01:01

Unique and really original game, cheers to you!!

rvenson 2018-08-13 01:02

I've never seen this before. This game is awesome

kiotikid 2018-08-13 01:02

HOLY CRAP! I LOVE THIS IDEA!! Its very simple. Love the animation and I definitely have never seen a game played in a url bar. Very limited space indeed!

jakub-kazimierski 2018-08-13 01:02

Really unique concept!

panda 2018-08-13 01:05

On point! Well done!

niker107 2018-08-13 01:14

As everyone else has said - a very creative idea, and I like that it's executed right in the browser. I was expecting it to be a 2D game emulating a browser. One criticism I'd say is I think the player should be able to jump over the Os if they're 2 points away, not only 1.

guilhermoni 2018-08-13 01:16

Simply genius, really well done.

stephen-coley 2018-08-13 02:40

This is the most clever and innovative entry I've played yet. It took me a second to get the hang of the jump, but after learning the timing the game really shines for what it is. Not to mention the premise of your screen space being taken up by the sponsor is pretty funny. Kudos!

nats 2018-08-13 07:36

It's very original !! Never see nowhere. Congratulations! ^^

mshopf 2018-08-13 14:45

This is a one-of-a-type. Never seen anything similar, extremely original.

Of course, there is only oh-so-little you can do with this concept. But kudos to the idea! Also, the AscII art works astonishingly well.

vincent-knauss 2018-08-13 23:54

Wow, this is my new gold standard for what the innovation category is for

2018-08-13 23:55

This is fantastic. Nobody would suspect you could do that, and it's actually fun.

ectucker1 2018-08-13 23:59

I love the animation of the player. It's way smoother than I would have though possible.

I was never quite sure whether I made a jump or missed it, so some more feedback could be useful there.

cpone 2018-08-14 00:01

The whole idea of this is absolutely nutty. The fact that you managed to create a game using the URL bar is impressive as hell. The game is fairly difficult at the moment as you need to be incredibly precise with your jumps but overall the game is pretty cool.

andreas-roschal 2018-08-14 00:47

That's one of the simplest and most creative game ideas I have ever seen at a game jam. Great work!

deathray 2018-08-14 01:50

5 stars for innovation! That is really a creative solution. Now I'd like to see a game jam where the theme is to make a game entirely in one line of text.

artbohr 2018-08-14 01:51

Very original idea, pretty impressive, nice one!

wicked 2018-08-14 03:06

I had no idea this was possible, bravo! I super dig that runnning animation too, well done!

cosmiccrystalgames 2018-08-14 03:13

Haha this was fantastic! Well done!

neurobomber 2018-08-14 04:21

Wow! In all my years of web development I never even once thought of doing something like this! Super clever!

svntax 2018-08-14 06:28

This is such a clever idea.

wowods 2018-08-14 10:08

Best idea ever for this theme... With only 150 minutes on your hands, you got the idea and finishing this jam, I salute you sir...

rob-white 2018-08-14 10:57

A very clever idea. Good job!

raccoon-js 2018-08-14 17:37

NICE! That was a great ides.

bloodyaugust 2018-08-14 23:39

Very fun idea! Definitely the most innovative entry I've seen in a long time. I really enjoyed seeing this!

As a fellow web dev, perhaps check out [replaceState](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/History_API#The_replaceState(%29_method) as an alternative method of changing the URL, to do so in such a way that doesn't kill my browser history. Perhaps in the mean time, you could add a warning to run in Incognito mode?

Also, did anyone else's eyes get severely fucked from playing this for a while? :laughing: Looking away from the URL bar induced a weird double blue patch and tiny Guitar-Hero effect for me.

pace 2018-08-15 01:17

I love the creativity of your take on the theme!

crafty-mine 2018-08-15 12:36

Great job Really creative game

team-on 2018-08-15 18:28

Ahaha! The most innovative game of LD42!

miltonnh25 2018-08-15 19:29

While being a simple game, it really shines for creative use of the theme, and is the most unique game I have played in this jam so far. Good job.

lereveur 2018-08-15 20:05

I have a not-so-wide resolution, so I had to make some clean in my Firebox bar, in order to get a long enough URL space to play the game. But it totaly worth it! It's amazing to make a little game like this in so little time, and yet make it fun to play! :thumbsup:

swift 2018-08-15 21:39

Wow. This is brilliant. Super clever.

potatolain 2018-08-15 21:46

Dang, I was entertained with this before I realized the constraints you worked with. This is _incredible_ for 2h30m. I don't think I have much to say that hasn't already been said, but very clever interpretation of the theme, and definitely something I've never seen before. The fact that you packed it into 1kb is also really impressive!

Thanks for an entertaining game!

ps: Semi related thing you might get a kick out of: someone got [defender running in a browser's favicon](http://www.p01.org/defender_of_the_favicon/) a while back.

webthingee 2018-08-16 01:31

I have never seen anything like that. nice!

randomphantom 2018-08-18 09:08

Incredible stuff!

laminariy 2018-08-19 17:08

This is genius! My record is 41

dray 2018-08-20 12:16

this is such a brilliant idea !

syrapt0r 2018-08-22 21:19

Pros: - Maybe the best take on the theme I've seen yet - Worked surprisingly well - Awesome sponsor message

ddrkirbyisq 2018-08-23 05:35

Yesssssssssss

djack-d-donovan 2018-08-24 14:08

By far the most original idea for this LD. Great work!

meatpudding 2018-08-27 01:19

Dear drludos I would like to leave a comment on your game but first a word from our sponsors

matank 2018-08-28 15:39
