I'm not really sure why all those people are chasing me. Gameplay itself is pretty fun and challenging at times, although it's easy to get stuck in a spot where you trip several times.

It was fun and I liked the art, however on higher difficulties I experienced frame rate drops making it very difficult to play

There's no way to get out of credits and back to the main menu if credits is clicked from main menu.

Audio in menu would help.

The collision on the coins could be extended forwards a bit - sometimes when I expected to be able to collect them, I couldn't.

The pause picture was nice.

The theme could have been stronger (was it, you only get one box of fries?)

Sorry, for quit the credits, press "ESCAPE". Yes, the theme is the fries, you have a unique box of fries, and a hungry horde chase you.

Pretty tough to judge those jumps, but that might just be me. Nice illustrations, I want some fries now!

Cool game though.

Nice artwork and audio, but those stares... Only suggestion I can think of is adding shadows to all the terrain features, so you can better judge where they are. Good job!

Nicely done but hard and a bit slow

Really funny game :P
One of the best things is, that the following guys can also fall over obstacles - at least it's fair that way ^_^

Game is pretty fun and innovative, however sometimes it's almost impossible to avoid some obstacles, but otherwise very fun game ! :)

Nice game. Great job on the main character drawing and animation. It's fun to see those enemies trip in a background :D Music is also nice fit. Well done!

Loved this game, the whole theme had a cohesive feel and I thought the animations were pretty good.

18. Dec 2013 · 16:28 UTC
Haha, it's funny to see that chubby guy running!
The collision detection is a bit off, and the game starts to really slowdown after some time.
The graphics and the music are good, although the music gets too repetitive after some time.
Overall 4/5.

Was hard to see where things were placed with the perspective, I missed lots of coins, but overall it was a fun game!
And now I want some fries, damn..

Haha, funny! Like the interpretation of the theme, only one packet of fries! The scrolling was pretty unique as well, I haven't seen that in many games. Good job.

There is a strang thing with the "3d" effect but the game is really fun !

The game lagged quite a bit for me...
It was good to see that the enemies would fall over obstacles as well...

No one will take my french fries! That's a fun!

Nice game !! I like the way the graphics shrink down, it really give you the illusion that you are getting away. The way the ennemies get to the player is really well done too. It's a little bit scary to see them come closer everytime I get stuck or stumble on something. Great work !!

Well done :) Good to see a web based LibGDX entry.

Didn't get the theme here, but the idea was very nice! Idk why, but the game started to lag horribly the more I fell though.

Best part: fat guy falling! ;)
Should be a little faster

Diptoman : The theme is the french fries!! You only get one :D

Nice drawings :)
Not sure how it fits the theme, but it was fun to play! I also like the fact that the opponents are actually falling the same way the hero does... it somehow equilibrates the game a bit more given how hard it is already :D

22. Dec 2013 · 12:20 UTC
It is slow, maybe you would like to reduce the number of hunters, besides that it plays very well. But after a while it gets repetitive..
Brings back memories of Rambo III, i think. :)
LibGDX rulez!

This is a pretty neat game. I really loved the falling animations and how you handled the depth perception.

I am not used to play this view, so it's a little hard for me :D

Some awesome music there! I might have to pick your brains on how to pull out a great track like yours, in the next LD!
Gameplay is fun, maybe a moving obstacle might be cool?

Incredible visuals, very amusing characters … what the hell was actually going on there?!!! I really couldn't empathise with the player character though - I wanted those poor starved hoards to get the chips/fries! Fun entry with superb sounds and simplistic gameplay
thebrainfuse
28. Dec 2013 · 19:15 UTC
its fun, but collision detection and coin sounds are hit and miss... also the overall pace feels too slow for me...

It's really hard to know when you'll collide with something

I don't think I saw other game like this, so, very innovative!
A thing that really bother me is the sound of him running, it looks like he's walking. For me, if it was just a speed up version would make a great different, other than that, good job! :)

Lovely animations. :)
Nelien

It was a fun runner overall, but it suffered from a lack of diversity and was hampered a bit by the 3D effect which made it very hard to judge what objects I was going to collide with (including coins) and which ones I wouldn't. I also found it a bit too easy. But again, overall, a well polished entry.

Well, art was nicely drawn but not sure about the theme or the gameplay... the jump over obstacles & dodge cactus part was fine. :)
Sebastian

Great animations on the player, would have liked to see a special smack into cactus animation though. I think more could have been done in terms of sound effects, but what was there was nice. The pacing of the game was maybe a little on the slow side, but overall I think it was a pretty cool game with some hilarious graphics.

Really nice art - I found it clashed with the sound though. Also, just an FYI, but I found the performance to be very choppy on my Surface Pro.

Really nice animations. Not sure how it relates to the theme.

Collision detection is a bit off I think, but except that it's quite interesting game and surprisingly fun too! Love the perspective and graphics.

It's fun to play. The concept, graphics and music were really good. The game became quite laggy on my computer after about 30 seconds.

I think fat guys chasing fries would be more fun than those skinny guys :)
🎤 van noctar
05. Jan 2014 · 12:37 UTC
Anvoz : Yes, at first it was thought to do that. However, the two versions were similars. But this version is a contradictory effect of our society.

Hilarious, i love the falling animation of the dudes chasing you. the gameplay is a bit tricky because you can't always tell if you are going to hit the things on the ground. Nice work

Great gfx. I liked the idea and gameaplay, unfortunately I got very low fps (using web version). Congrats.
