Enjoyable game, considering first one was deleted.
This is absolutely fantastic! Love it!
Neat game, graphics are great.
This was boring and unoriginal. Not my cup of tea.
I used to play these types of games ALL the time when I was a kid, I really enjoyed it.. could've been more balanced, but I'm not judging based on "shoulda-coulda". This is so far one of the most fun games I've played!
Very moody, great audio, a neat little game!
I like the audio and graphics, neat.
It was challenging because of the extremely difficult controls, I enjoy the graphics, it added a lot to the mood, the lava makes you stress to not fall into it, so there's definitely some immersion on there!
Interesting idea, not really my cup of tea, sadly.
It was alright, the mood was fantastic, but the lit sprite ruined it, too clunky lookin, luckily minimal time was spent in lit areas.

Game looks great as usual, however nice it looks and how smoothly it goes, there's very little replay value on there. There's no achievement feedback except for how many points you got and if you made the goal (which is incredibly hard, actually too hard). It quickly becomes boring although random placement, a really effortless addition to make this the *fun* game it could've been would be progressing onto new "levels", small variations in landscape, maybe some basic NPCs as hinders, upgrades or such, just something that tells you your effort is worth it! (Some new stimuli goes a long way!) You had loads of time to spare, so I don't see why you wouldn't try to make the game less minimalist, objectively speaking. On the other hand though, you made this game in a lot less than 48 hours, so it's still a tremendous achievement, but like I said, some very minimal additions could've made it that much more enjoyable because it's a fun concept. :)
So to sum up:
+ Graphics (incl. fx)
+ Humor (dry)
+ Overall feels and looks somewhat high-end.
+ Creative
- Overboard difficult to win.
- Painful controls
- Buggy collision resolution and world ticks.
- No rewards, variation or some sort of dynamic.
- Can't restart the run if I know I won't win.
- No replay value
