While it seems "hardcore" to some, it could cripple the game experience for others. I think you could make an "easy" and "hard" modes, where the player density is lighter on the first.\r- It's simple and addictive.\r- I find it great that you placed a barrier on top before the game starts. It gives the user a chance to learn the controls and space to make mistakes.\r- Song is great, but since you didn't created it, take as an inspiration for the next games.\r\rYou should seriously consider making a mobile version; it's addictive, simple and the gameplay fits nicely with phones and tablets!"},{"author_name":"zedutchgandalf","author_uid":"18216","time":"Apr 30, 2014 @ 8:22am","epoch":1398845820,"text":""a 5 minute infinite" how does that work? :P\rPretty cool!

Nice subtle nod to Flappy with the font too :) I'd like to see some mystery removed from the colour-coded block types to avoid having to rote learn how many hits they will take. Either a simple number on each block indicating how many hits it has left, or use a series of 'cracked block' sprites to indicate the same thing. Alternatively you could show how many hits it will take, without updating the number displayed as hits are depleted so as to require more attention from the player."},{"author_name":"alexdantas","author_uid":"36899","time":"May 5, 2014 @ 2:03am","epoch":1399255080,"text":"Hello, there!\rFYI your game was featured on this blog post:\r\r(9 Gems from Ludum Dare 29)\rhttp:\/\/alexdantas.net\/stuff\/posts\/9-gems-from-ludum-dare-29\/\r\rThanks a lot for making this awesome entry :)"},{"author_name":"mcapraro","author_uid":"28472","time":"May 6, 2014 @ 5:40am","epoch":1399354500,"text":"simple yet challenging! nicely done"},{"author_name":"shadow64","author_uid":"35058","time":"May 7, 2014 @ 3:39pm","epoch":1399476840,"text":"Great work. I found the controls to be a little too precise (if that makes sense) there were times that I wasn't landing where I thought that I would or was maybe a pixel away. I also don't know about the wrap around world. I think I would've gone with rigid walls, personally.\r\rThe music was really happy but not annoying - which is incredible considering how short the track is and how often it loops. And the programmer art wasn't terrible! ;)\r\rI played the game multiple times and got to about 30 as a high score before deciding I'd had enough. I think that you might want to give some instructions about the colors, but it was sort of fun figuring that out too - just a thought.\r\rSolid design, I could definitely see you improving the art and adding some faster levels\/higher difficulty\/obstacles to round out the experience.\r\rThanks for sharing and good luck!"}],"images":["ld29\/35234-e75fc154f455810b5bfa968fff2cf0b7.jpg","ld29\/35234-e04d379fa5f49216718df2858ff0b5c7.jpg","ld29\/35234-84ce2bd0fd7ae416081a36742ffaef72.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/dcoyeinteractive.itch.io\/descent","text":"Web"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"18660","g_author":"35234","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"18689","g_title":"Descent","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"344","g_commentcount":"26","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/35234-shot0.jpg-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/35234-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/35234-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Descent is a 5 minute infinite vertical jumper made under 48 hours for Ludum Dare 29.
