Brutal game, took me more than ten tries to even see the second level, the first one was almost the hardest one. With better tuned controls it could even be flappy bird like addictive. Awesome ending too :)"},{"author_name":"peejaygee","author_uid":"35368","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 10:38pm","epoch":1398724380,"text":"I actually managed to get to the bottom without dying and didn't cheat either.."},{"author_name":"gikdew","author_uid":"18806","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 11:09pm","epoch":1398726240,"text":"Awesome Game!

It was super fun to make! I find it easier to just make really dumb games during these jams than trying to get too serious.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'm surprised so many of you beat it so quickly. I don't think I've even managed to fully complete it without cheating. Speaking of the god mode, seems like bouncing on the moleman heads can cause that craziness to happen that Sichuan mentioned. Definitely a bug, but I'm going to leave that in because it's hilarious."},{"author_name":"DannyG59","author_uid":"30075","time":"Apr 28, 2014 @ 11:57pm","epoch":1398729120,"text":"hahaha it happened to me a few times too ! Also I like playing &quot;capture a bat and take it with you&quot; in god mode. Seriously hilar game, great job.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also if you say you beat it your a liar! haha"},{"author_name":"jugglerrob","author_uid":"24814","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 1:15am","epoch":1398733800,"text":"Wow. This is brutal :). I've been going at it for 20 minutes and still can't get past the 3rd section, but I like that.

Nice!&quot;\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Boo yah.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Really addictive, has that flappy bird aesthetic to it, at first I was like &quot;oh god this is too hard&quot; with the bats, I generally only avoided them from pure luck. Eventually I got the hang of it though, especially after the Moleman area. Maybe the bats should come later?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice procedural generation in Unity too. Did you use sprites or quads or what?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked the character's expressions too, and the burning up and skeletonising. Audio was sweet too, atmospheric and didn't get repetitive.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice one!"},{"author_name":"RyanNielson","author_uid":"13891","time":"May 20, 2014 @ 3:14am","epoch":1400555340,"text":"Thanks for the kind words Alex.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Each row was basically a prefab that consisted of two tiled sprites with a space in between.
