Helepolis : Make It To the Siege by olkeencole
A silly but fun take on the helepolis, the ancient Greek unwieldy siege tower of yore. Try to get to siege without destroying your mighty weapon in the process.
You'll have to dodge rocks, trees and ancient ruins. You can smash most things, but not without penalty.
At each juncture, gain a new tower stack for your helepolis increasing the challenge to maintain its structural integrity. But make it to the end intact and victory will be yours!
I suspect that it is pretty difficult and tricky. I tried to make it easier, but physics is hard to tune correctly.
Tips:
1. When going through the arches, try not to move too much and go right thru the middle.
2. Trees aren't too bad, but try to smash them head on.
3. Try to avoid pillars as much as possible. If you must hit one, just hit ONE.
4. It should only take about a minute and a half to get to the end, but that is if you don't smash into anything.
5. And finally.....you don't actually need all the tower stacks at the moment. I wanted two ends, either one where you get smashed if you don't have enough tower stacks or you smashing the castle. Right now, only the latter is in there, since its hard enough as is.
A LeftArrow = Move Left
S RightArrow = MoveRight
Good luck!

It is an excellent time killer for lines, waits, and... um... bathroom trips.
Lovely game!
But overall this was a good amount of fun (fun enough to play a bunch of times).
Others are right about this, you need to make a mobile version (with gyroscope controls, if possible).
The music successfully sets the tone for an intense and hectic ride, which would be appropriately complemented with characters running around in circles instead of standing idle, as well as volcanic ashes or other elements falling from the sky. I am looking forward to see this game expand further on!
It would be nice to hear some destruction sounds when crashing into things.
When you run over trees, you practically feel how they are crushed. Little rocks are unexpectedly bumpy though =)
Cons: I got stuck and couldn't get off a rock, but that's all
Pros: good idea, simple game, simple modeling loved the game, minimalism.
Cons: as wr4th88 mentioned you can get stuck.. camera is very close to me so i can't reach the way (maybe if the game gets harder it would get a little far).
