Great idea. I like the way you get an actual game out of it rather than a message saying "your game has been shipped" or something similar.
Glitches aside, it's a very fast paced game and would be interesting as a player to try and make sense of the food and sleep and coffee elements.
The actual game itself is also quite good, and better than many similar games.
The controls are precise and crisp and if you lose it's definitely your fault.
I found the thing about the broken directions a clever innovation. I had been avoiding the walls for a while. But eventually it struck me. Just what will happen if I go for the walls? Will it crash? And so I tried and I found I popped out on the other side. So I thought, ok now what? They can't catch me now right? Wrong. The enemies keep spawning regardless of whether you kill them. So gradually a crowd is chasing you.
Also I'm a huge fan of the axis aligned rectangle as in-game graphics. And by having a solid square as my avatar I can easily see where I am on the screen.
My best score was 44 points.
I think the graphics and sound on this game are fantastic. The colour palette is very pleasant to look at and consistant.
So what I noticed is that a few strategy elements gradually start to show themselves. Firstly you can turn quickly by following the character around with the mouse, or if you plan to face in one direction you can put the mouse near the border of the window.
The graphics in this are breathtaking nature scenes.
The concept of the lag greatly increases the challenge and makes the infinite lives all but necessary.
As I played I started to think it's probably a good strategy to get the distant eggs first since the last egg you get will be under the most lag. But it's so tempting to get the nearest ones first.
I like the general feeling of this game, the whole nature is fun thing. I have not seen the end, but I did reach a score of approx 80,000. And I found a secret in the game.
A realistic depiction of reality.
The highest score I got was 5699. I like the way it records the high scores, and for that matter the menus are extensive.
I like the graphics. They're very crisp and play to the strengths of high resolution. Also the scrolling is very smooth.
I like the graphics. They're very crisp and play to the strengths of high resolution. And very bright and saturated. Also the scrolling is very smooth.
The ball physics seem accurate.
The controls are minimal and the game tells you what the controls are.
The game suffers in originality but succeeds in execution.
The graphics benefit from a distinct contrast between the cactusman and his surrounds. He is colorful saturated green and everything else is a shade. He is a cactus and everything else is bland.
The whole game takes no longer than 8 seconds. There is potentially some replay value in trying to determine how quickly the levels could be completed, like speedrunning it.
I like it. I hope this becomes popular.
This game is awesome. I got a good 23 minutes out of it.
I found Rodgert to be the most powerful character. But I think Tom is interesting in that his chest bumps can remain between rounds.
I beat it in about 23 minutes of play. Haw haw haw.
Best game intro ever.
