This game is really cute! It feels like something out of an old arcade game. I really like the design of the reaper and all the little enemies. The lighthearted music is also very fitting. As for the gameplay, I enjoyed the use of screen wrapping. Needing to screen wrap to build up enough speed to squash the enemies is a clever idea. Overall, I enjoyed this game a lot. Great work!
nice graphics, has that old school feeling to it, also those ladybugs!!! if I had one wish was a Restart button to when I see that it's becoming impossible to complete, instead of waiting for the animations to complete. there was a lot of this Capture.PNG
@djlink, you can press escape to exit the game at any time. Probably should have put that in the description ;)
@jessefreeman ah silly me, thanks, and congrats on the game, really well done :)
Thanks @djlink and @superpokeunicorn for the early feedback. Had a lot of fun making this one. Hope a lot of people play it!
The wrapping mechanic is super cool. My only issue is that when you finish the game the clouds movement is too slow. It's not in tune with the pace of the rest of the game.
uhm, i have a difficulty to run the game on windows. Black box, no sound, no response for any input :(

I have the exact same issue as @titos2k on my Win 10.
@titos2k and @my-sweet-whomp, can you try installing .net? I'm still a bit new to bundling a MonoGame project and I have a feeling that the dlls are missing since the Windows build is so much smaller than the other ones. I'll do some testing on my end and see if I can fix it. Here is a link - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653. I'll try to make an installer that automatically downloads it too.
@jessefreeman installer says that i already have this version of NET in the system
@titos2k ok, thanks for the heads up. I'm flying home today so I'll take a look tomorrow and see what I can do to get it working for those having the black screen problem. Sorry about that :(
Awesome graphics and audio! Neat idea on running out of space too. I'm also on windows 10 but haven't experienced those problems mentioned above, if that helps at all.
Awesome job, game ran perfectly for me!
Reaper Boy Color! I like it!
Love the graphics and the wrapping mechanic, but I feel it doesn't fit theme all that well. Fun platformer experience nonetheless
This is a gorgeous game
This is so flippin' cute!!! I really liked the gameplay, I wasn't expecting a sort of vertical gravity platformeer but I really liked it! The music was cute, the graphics were cute, it was nice that death wasn't the end and I really liked the level timer in the form of clouds creeping up the screen. Also, Reaper Boy is just an adorable name and so very merchable.
Unfortunately I can't make it work in my Windows 10 computer, it stays a black centered window and nothing happens. A pity because I loved the graphics and the concept.
A fun game with great visuals. Well worth a play! My only feedback would be that it can be a bit frustrating when the cloud covers your view too much to continue and the player has to wait for the level to end to restart. But this is a minor gripe.
Fantastic game Jesse and CastPixel. Felt very much like a old school retro game. Amazing art! I like the mechanics of the game a lot. Got to level 10 and like 35k points? Great job!
Critique: Wish it would have told me what key to start/play, and instructions for how to play. But once figured out it was great.
Really great game. Really beautifully art. Game mechanics is a bit confusing at the start but its easy to get use to. Would be nice if there is a controls / tutorials page.
have same problem like titos2k
Amazing stuff. Everything fit into place pretty well. I don't really have any criticism other than the slightly odd controls.
Mac user here, downloaded mac build tried to run it but it's just a black square, nothing is going on. Tried several times. Pressed all the keys. Nothing.
I couldn't make it work for windows 10 - 64 bits. :(
Fun little game with cute graphics, and also surprisingly "physics-based" with the portal-like fall to death :sweat_smile:
Would be nice if I could select the levels instead of restarting from the first one though. Somehow when retrying after I died on level 10 the game said I have completed the game.
