Thanks for the feedback. The idea of the game is, that the 32x20 playfield is a screen ;) i didn't want to represent the player as moving object at first, but wanted to show the position of the player by intensifying the pixels color... plans didn't work out. So you have a player object which is running on the screen pixels :D"},{"author_name":"kaype","author_uid":"25076","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 4:30pm","epoch":1418142300,"text":"http:\/\/puu.sh\/dnE7Y\/222599390d.png\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I can't seem to get past this part.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Otherwise, the game is pretty fun and I like the way you went about the theme! Great music too.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The movement is a bit jittery, but works.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice game!"},{"author_name":"atombrot","author_uid":"7738","time":"Dec 9, 2014 @ 9:08pm","epoch":1418158980,"text":"Hmm... From your screenshot it looks like the player went just past the goal (which should not happen). I have some suspicions on why this might be, but not yet sure about it, as I could not reproduce the problem. Hopefully I can find the bug :D"},{"author_name":"Lynx","author_uid":"44477","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 3:27am","epoch":1418181720,"text":"Neat concept, there was some frame drops\/lag with audio when I would move too fast the block animation would freeze up and the sound would be off but that may not be your fault"},{"author_name":"Murchurl","author_uid":"44531","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 7:03am","epoch":1418194680,"text":"Visually appealing!

Had trouble on the one which was like a grid, there where so many ways to go it was confusing, but thats not a problem. Sweet! :)"},{"author_name":"atombrot","author_uid":"7738","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 11:45am","epoch":1418211600,"text":"Thanks for the feedback guys :D If you get stuck and you want to try out the other levels you could try out the desktop version (requires java). You can run that version with levels from an external folder. I added an example cmd file to launsch and a folder with the existing levels for the game. You remove the levels you can't beat and then start it :D A little readme is provided in the zip package."},{"author_name":"psydack","author_uid":"38916","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 1:08pm","epoch":1418216580,"text":"I just dont like how the main character is, he just does not fit in the whole thing. \r<br\/>But I LOVE all the categories!"},{"author_name":"renatopp","author_uid":"15241","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 1:10pm","epoch":1418216700,"text":"Nice game with great style.

Would have been better if you could 'fall off' in order to restart when you get stuck though. I didn't realise you could restart by pretting R until I came back and read the instructions. Quality visuals and audio."},{"author_name":"Forge","author_uid":"47598","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 1:18pm","epoch":1418217180,"text":"Audio really makes the whole mood of the game here, fantastic. For some reason I'm stuck on the level with the key, after opening the door pixels the blue pixel doesn't trigger completion. Apart from that, love it!"},{"author_name":"IcyLava","author_uid":"36159","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 2:21pm","epoch":1418220960,"text":"I couldn't get past the key level either, the goal doesn't seem to have an icon on it at that level.

Thanks guys. I'm also not that happy about the player, but all other things would not work out (mind I'm very bad at making graphics or chosing colors).\r<br\/>\r<br\/>As for the issue. I followed a hunch and tested the entry in firefox and I had the same issue. Hope I can fix it, but at least I can reproduce it now. I hope I can upload a fix in the next few hours..."},{"author_name":"atombrot","author_uid":"7738","time":"Dec 10, 2014 @ 5:01pm","epoch":1418230560,"text":"Ok, i put up a fix.

The gameplay reminds me a lot of a game called Sensitive on the C64, which had a similar 'move over falling tiles' concept, so it also had like a bonus nostalgia feeling for me.
