The Pickups by Chorlo
Find and pick as many bottles as possible while you stay away from the evil skeletons. If any skeleton catches Penny, she will lose al her bottles. Mike comes to help sometimes, take the chance to give him the bottles, he will keep them safe.
Bottles are heavy, the more you get, the slower you move!!

I think perhaps an arrow to show the direction Mike is in would be nice since it can be hard to find him when loaded with bottles! Otherwise, perhaps some upgrades and/or powerups would be cool.
Nice job! I enjoyed it :)
The game itself was fun! I think it would be a lot more fun if Mike would spawn in the same position each time, so when I see his icon appear I know where to run back to to drop off my bottles. Right now it's only random chance that I run into Mike, so it's a bit frustrating. I loved the music an sound effects also. Great entry!
It is difficult to run with more than 7 bottles and it is much harder to find the guy with more than 5 bottles because we have not time. My solution, wait at the midle of the world to kill all skeletons, when the guy appear, run as fast as you can to find him and get the bottles around him. Maybe need life to completly avoid the skeleton s. I think the diminution of the speed is not a good solution for fun.
Ps : Sorry for my english, i'm french :p
