I loved this one. It seemed a simple endless running game at first, until I let a positive word hit the character.

It's very encouraging and we're considering building this out into a fuller game. :)\r<br\/>@jmborden: Depending on the words that appear, it might take a few hits for the character to react. It's on my todo list to add a momentary reaction when any words hit, right now it just affects the character's overall mood. Also I noticed that when you die while jumping the animation can get stuck. I'll post a link to a fixed version when it's done!"},{"author_name":"drschizzo","author_uid":"8354","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 3:47pm","epoch":1429717320,"text":"good idea. the jump could be a little bit faster"},{"author_name":"Null DIES","author_uid":"52933","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 5:22pm","epoch":1429723020,"text":"Simplicity and depth are a hard to achieve combination in a game.
