Loved the presentation, the weird voices (great intro!), the sounds, and the central concept. It was like a game representation of introversion.
As was said, very Super Brothers Sword and Sorcery, but with some cool ideas in its own right.
Could have used more length and more integration between the smartphone and the rest of the game; they felt a bit disconnected from each other.
I like how the polar navigation made it feel a little like you were bending spacetime by cutting through the middle. I also liked how the next level is constantly fading into view.
Good pacing, with tough challenges followed by a little room to breathe. I made it to 27! So close!
It would have been nice if the music changed as you progressed. And less twitchy gamers such as myself wouldn't mind some heart refills here and there.
Great job.
This was really entertaining and a wonderful "gamification" of a common experience. The over-the-topness sold it. The controls were a little loose and hard to get working in points, but overall very enjoyable.
Most of the time I didn't really know what I was doing, as the jumping was hard to control deliberately, but after I just held the up key and wiggled around I eventually made it to the goal.
I liked the little splash of humor but I couldn't find any "actual" ending to it. The game part of it could have used more depth and/or clearer controls, however the actual experience of ascending to space was surprisingly compelling. Keep at it!
Harder on a tap-to-click touchpad!
The link sends the user to a Dropbox download page, for a single HTML file. I assume it's intended to run from Dropbox instead of being a download. Let us know when it's working, I'd love to check this one out.
I kind of made it into a game of "launch yourself into the ground at as high a velocity as possible". Fun!
That was a really enjoyable quick experience! The precision digging and timing challenges toward the end had just the right balance of challenge vs. pure panic.
I liked the twitch necessary to track the ridiculously fast witch. Overall the game was a bit too simple, however, and only held my attention for a few plays. Needs more variation, in levels and in witch behavior.
Plus, a bit of personal bias here, I'd rather play the witch >:D
Thanks for the input! There are audio cues that hint at several possibilities, but they don't play during the intro dialog. They only play afterward, when the cursor shows the item name text, which is a bit unclear.
Oh and one tip for players using the web version: Since I didn't get mouselock to work for the web version in time, it's a lot easier if you use Q + E instead of the mouse buttons.
Thank you everyone for the feedback, I'm glad people got a lot out of it and that the mood I was going for came across!
I recorded them by using OSX's text-to-speech feature. I originally planned to use them as placeholders and replace them with real voice acting, but I ran out of time and the synth voices worked strangely well anyway.
Great game, love the concept. The main thing that would have improved it IMO was a "detonate bomb" button, and tighter movement controls to compensate for the time dilation. Great work and tons of fun!
The time limit on rooms was an entertaining twist. The bosses felt a little too easy; all I had to do was min/max my stats and they hid in the corner. Very simple but also enjoyable.
The aesthetics are lovely, and it's refreshing to see something like ballet appear in a game. The play itself seemed a little thin (pardon my language) and felt like it dragged on for too long. I enjoyed the ramping up of activity toward the end, and the overall concept was great.
The premise is really sweet :) Wish the enemies arrived faster and there was more room for error (life, lives, etc).
Tough until you get the hang of it, really love the concept. Worthy of expansion!
Some of the audio felt like it cut off too quickly. Great concept though. The more advanced shape-matching bits started to get real interesting. Oh and cool font :)
Silly fun with just enough depth to not be 100% mindless :D Great job. I encountered a bug at the end where I couldn't complete because one of the guys lost his bounding box and became invincible/stationary. (Played on OSX Yosemite in Safari.)

Haha that is amazing :D Thank you for playing!
Thanks laxeot, I did a lot of last-minute coding to try and get the text input clean, it could still use work!
Ah the TRS-80! So many memories!
liquidmedia, it should be just typing for about 3 minutes. If it went beyond that there was a bug. What version were you running?
@rodobodolfo, what OS and browser were you using?
@lissar, aaronjbaptiste, MjSpeCter, Blobby101, thank you so much! Glad people have been moved and/or found humor in it, either way that's pretty awesome.
mrexcessive, if you're up for trying it again, remember to use the privacy screen (TAB)
Thank you all for the comments! Really appreciate your insight and experiences playing.
Thanks everyone who voted for getting me in the top 15 for mood, and for the fantastic feedback!
I like the single wiiide scrolling screen. Interesting aspect ratio for a game. The ending threw me off a little because it happened quick and could have used some more visual clarity. Great buildup though.
Great experience! Short and sweet with some lovely aesthetics.
That darn cat! Cute and enjoyable experience, a little tougher on touchpad vs. mouse as swatting the cat seemed to require dragging and not just clicking :D
Proof that multitasking is dangerous. Reminds me of how my dad used to drive, with a cup of coffee in one hand and newspaper in the other.
Virtual augmented reality. Meta meta meta meta meta meta meta
Off to a great start! Best of luck next time around :D
That's an ooooold school modem, love it. Accidentally kept typing DOS commands like dir /w.
Attack might be missing due to time constraints, but I think this is proof we need a dungeon parkour roguelike.
Thanks everybody for the wonderful feedback! Hopefully I can squeeze in some time to finish the story.
