But there some few points I don't understand. The first part, is it really useful to land on the right or left ? It was quite long when you retried. (I played a lot of rounds because this is an addictive game :D)\r\rWhen you land too much on the left, you will be stucked under the start platform.\r\rYou are not really rewarded by the maximum not you will get. I had 45 hits and had only 280 coins because I had to much speed so I didn't collect them. However, If I have 25 hits, 24 seems the best but I did not manage to get that amount exactly. I had 480 coins. I think your collision is a bit buggy. Plus you don't any coins above a certain height. That's why having a lot of speed is not rewarding.\r\rHowever, as I said, this game is great, I really love the mixin genre and it had a great esthetic !"},{"author_name":"postmodestie","author_uid":"8113","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 6:36pm","epoch":1387391460,"text":"Nice execution, i like the circles closing in, and the gfx style in general.."},{"author_name":"Masadow","author_uid":"22572","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 12:53pm","epoch":1387457280,"text":"I'm just passing back to tell you that your game is very cool, and I really would like to see perfect version on Kongregate or whatever :)"},{"author_name":"Masadow","author_uid":"22572","time":"Dec 19, 2013 @ 9:25pm","epoch":1387488000,"text":"https:\/\/github.com\/masadow You will eventually find my mail address ;) I don't use twitter"},{"author_name":"rnlf","author_uid":"30930","time":"Dec 20, 2013 @ 5:33pm","epoch":1387560480,"text":"Finally found time to get Windows up and running to test this one out.

I implemented the core mechanic based on a Quick Time Event idea, a la God of War.\r\n\r\nThe game is very hard, so read this carefully and also take some seconds to see the the tutorial screen inside the game. The same screen is also as an screenshot on this page (last screenshot).\r\n\r\nTUTORIAL:\r\n1) Move the player with left and right arrow key, I suggest using right arrow as soon as you see MadBlue ;)\r\n\r\n2) On the quick time event, press the respectively arrow key at the moment the circle close\/touches the button icon, when the button can be pressed, it will become white, watch it carefully.\r\n\r\n\r\nPlease, leave your feedback about your experience, and perhaps your best score.\r\n\r\nthank you!","title":"Onions Only Chance"}
