This is as devious as it's fun. What a great job you did! =)
Takes a little time to get into it, but after that it's very good. Nice job!
Great effort, congratulations!
Interesting concept, way to go. =)
Quite strange, but somehow compelling. Good! =)
A real wonder, can't even understand how you did this in such a short time. =)
Mmm... well, how can I put this... mmm... no, I'm speechless: this game is just too cool. Great job! =D
Quite hard, but going on is actually rewarding.
Neat, you should keep working on it and you could be on to something. =)
Quite a lot of fun, congratulations! =)
Good job, congratulations! =)
Simple and funny, good job! =)
Definitely a good start, now I'm curious to see the extended version. =)
Interesting and original. Gratz!
Quite a lot of fun, congratulations! =)
Love the graphics and the retro-look, and the mechanics definitely work. Nice effort!
I'm afraid I have to agree, the game is really hard. I didn't have enough time for tests, and by playing it again and again it appeared as not-too-hard to me in the end. I'm sorry. =|
Thank you very much keely, I'm really happy to know you liked the game even if it's kind of imbalanced.
I really raced to complete it in time, so it's great having some positive feedback. As for the theme, I just made a tiny gameworld as I didn't have much time to think about it (I started working on the game quite late in the compo, since I had to work).
Thanks again. =)
Savestates, huh? That's a nice idea, it's a pity I didn't think about it. Thank you for your feedback! =)
Nope, it wasn't my goal. I just didn't have enough time for accurate playtesting. Sorry. =|
Yes, the game needs checkpoints. Badly.
But I didn't have time to add them, I had quite some trouble finishing it on time and making it work. This is just my second solo game, after all. =)
@moop :
Thank you very much for your feedback. =)
The falling blocks appear slightly different from the regular ones, but I'm afraid it can't be easily seen. My fault, of course, but I'm as far from a graphic artist as the Earth is from the Sun. =D
@Pixelulsar :
Great, I'm really glad you liked the game! =D
As for lives, you're right: next time I'll insert multiple lives for the player. Thanks!
@azurenimbus :
Thank you very much for your complete feedback, I'm happy to know you liked and appreciated the game. =)
And I also played and rated your entry, it's cool! =D
@Lidfrid :
Yes, I guess some kind of respawn would have been perfect. I'll have better 'luck' next time. =)
@Kassoon :
Thank you very much for your feedback, it definitely hits the right spots.
Regarding the hitbox, I actually made it smaller two or three times before settling for the final one, but the lack of space around the little man is still responsible for many deaths. =P
@KunoNoOni :
Thank you very much, hope you'll manage to complete the game. =)
@cantorfew :
Which browser did you try it on? I didn't receive any complaint about slowdown so far, so maybe I could run some more tests on your browser of choice.
And, believe it or not, I never played I Wanna Be the Guy. =D
@Jhelle :
Thank you! The screen is actually too small for higher-res monitors, you're right. And yes, it would have been better with checkpoints. =)
@Datamosh :
Glad to know you liked the game, even if it's definitely hard. And yes, Pitfall was a big source of inspiration. =)
@SLiV :
The arrows can be seen before they're launched, just look for their tips protruding from the walls. I agree that everything is very tiny, though, and so they can be difficult to spot. And thank you for your feedback. =)
@naufr4g0 :
Thank you! =)
Getting quite some comparisons to Rick Dangerous, one day or another I'll have to start working on the Rick Dangerous-inspired game I planned long ago. =D
@basspenguin :
Thank you very much! I'm happy it reminded you of a ZX Spectrum game since that was what I was aiming for. =)
@jwolf :
You sure have a point there, thank you very much for your kind feedback!
@DalsGames :
Thank you for your comment! I should have definitely added sound and animations, but I ran out of time. =(
@cadin :
Just proceed slowly, and you'll be able to see the arrows waiting to spring! =)
@Hazematman :
Thank you! I'll make sure I have more time for playtesting next time. =D
@someone :
You're right, I really regret not having enough time to add checkpoints. =P
@jimmypaulin :
Thank you very much for your complete analysis, for your appreciation and for the idea of porting the game to coin-op format. =D
@rvmook :
Yep, we all agree on that. Including me. =)
@rvmook :
I'll try, but I haven't got enough spare time lately. =(
@Make A Game :
Yep, the difficulty level is definitely off. That's the result of lack of time and a general misjudgement on my part. =P
@vrld :
Thank you very much! I'll try and also go for 'fun' next time, I promise. =D
@homnom :
Yep, it is. =(
Hope I'll have more time for balancing the game, next time. =)
@noddy2006 :
Thank you very much for your comment!
It hits the right spots and actually makes me want to go on with compos like this, despite being a noob. Thanks again! =D
Great! Just great! =)
