Fun, fast and skilled platformer :) Nice ideas ! I got a few lags after playing a while, might come from the browser though? Using chrome.
Good luck for the votes !

Dude, well done. Really well paced and exciting game: really the core mechanic is pretty standard, but the tunes, the lighting, and the pacing makes it really fun! And the spike death sequence is so good I did it 5 times in a row just to watch it.

@alvarop: Did you wait a little for it to load? The filesize is quite big...

This is great! That song!! Looks awesome, lots of fun, and keeps explicitly reminding you how on track it is with the theme.

bahaahah! fuckin' great. Super tight controls, great audio & gamefeel~ lovely little details in the death animation, and infuriating meat-boy-y level design. T.T aweosme.

Daring! Amazing! I loved this. I think it's the best I've played so far. I can't think of anything critical to say. I guess the controls aren't my favourite (too slippery I guess) but the game is just great. I loved it, and I beat it. It felt amazing, the feeling of running away is great. 10/10

I'm a sucker for platformers and I hadn't played one from this round of LD yet, so I'm glad I started with this one. Really well executed all round, although I too thought the controls were a bit slippery at times. Nitpicking though, great job!

Great pixel art, genuinely exciting. Took me many many goes to get through level 3 and by level 4 it was way beyond my skill to complete. Enjoyable though.

Great game! There's a heroic amount of work for 48 hours. You'd get 6 stars for effort if there was a category for it!

Greatest soundtrack. Made me almost rage quit a few times, especially in the first helicopter level. It feels like the controls are a bit off, that old fart doesn't seem to jump exactly when I want him to. Old bastard.

Really enjoyed it!

A lot of fun very well done. The game puts you under constant pressure below or above the ground which guides the game along nicely Overall polished to a shine love it!

controls takes getting used to but it's fun nonetheless... great game! memory problems aside you can continue developing it...

Nervous gameplay and nervous music, I love it ! I also love the fact that some time you can just go up and dodge the helicopter. The only criticism I can make is that sometimes the controls are too reactive and it's hard to control the character.

Seriously good platforming physics - solid tight controls! Really enjoyed this one and I kept wanting to be a rebel and try and chance it with the chopper. Nope!

Pretty intense game. While I wrote this comment I switched the tab to the game to play again five times. Awesome game, nice music and great graphics.

Very cool music and it fits the game perfectly! The gameplay is very fun and addictive too!

You really nailed the tension. The music and platforming just perfectly suit the premise, which in itself is a pretty good take on the theme. Well done.

That was a lot of fun! I got to the third level where you can choose to go above the surface or beneath ground and while the surface was random change of getting hit by the helicopter it was a lot more fun :)

I wrote down your name because I saw one of your posts during the compo. I'm glad I did. Solid game: perfect controls, good grpahics and good music. Jolly good fun.

Oh wow, this is amazingly polished. I wish I could get past the third stage, but my reflexes just ain't good enough.

I saw your game in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsYGv849RzM. Good work, but I cant play it, just a white screen in the link.
But, what I saw in the video was a nice game, good graphics , sounds and verry funny.

Some of these sections seem impossible. :|

More checkpoints, or easier jumps would help.

Really cool game. I'm not sure if I agree with the character sliding, it made the controls rather annoying. But other than that the game was really, really good!

Fun fast paced game which was really difficult once you started being chased by the helicopter but great to play.

Addictive platformer. I love the art style but it's quite hard to play. I wish you had implemented a "skip level" function, so I can see more of your levels :D
