Dang it man, im really impressed!
gameplay is smooth as, and quite original too. as Mr GuyUnger above said; juicy as rock
Superb job.
Really liked the music.
Your games are always an absolute joy to play man. I don't know how you get the graphics so juicy, but you have a real talent for it, and you do text like no other. That's such a weird thing to say, but it's true. Like, how do you get dialogue windows that look so good? I think you just have my sense of humour too.
The game is awesome, I dunno what engine you used, but if it's easy to port to mobile, I mean.. you already have a game here, and it's that kind of addictive "you only need one button" like Flappy Bird. This could do really well with minimal effort on your part, you'd probably just need a longer music loop or something and that'd be it.
And obviously, fits the theme perfectly. Awesome man.
You've put some crazy polish in this game, congrats!! =D
(it's definitely going into my permanent folder of LD games =D)
I really like the simple controls, even my grandmother could play a game like this.
The animations are awesome !
And the gameplay is so smooth !
Good job !
Man this game is so effin' good! Addictive, great art, great sound, amazing gameplay, incredibly simple and efficient...
Gah that was so rad! Thank you for allowing me to play this!
I didn't realize it was one button controls at first, so I was trying to direct myself underground and kept popping back up. Once I realized that, though, it was pretty fun!
Great job! One of my favorites.
I lose pretty quickly, but it's still fun for me and feels great. Good job!
PS: I love how he's still active in the ending sequence, getting points for everything that hits him, haha.
It's certainly quite polished for a jam game, but it quickly got repetitive. First time playing it was fun, second time less so. Great job nonetheless.
I would be really interested into how such a graphics effect is achieved. I wanted to look at the source but it's apparently a gamemaker file, and I don't feel like downloading gamemaker.
