I like the graphic design, the mood and the music. The game was a bit too difficult for me though, I didn't get very far.

Seems to have have a problem with the level generator, quite often I got a level that was simply not possible.
Great game otherwise!

Simple gameplay but nice visuals. But unless I'm missing something, it's possible to get stuck because there's no way up through a new level sometimes

Yes, this is bug in level generation, but i cant constantly repeat it %( Just sometimes generator get crazy and start spawn lines everywhere

The music seems out of place to me. I was expecting something more dramatic for this. Otherwise good job!

Neat game. Nice job with the lightning! Could have used the 'W' key to jump, though.

Nice game, it was really fun, and the sound and music was great. Personally I don't like using my left hand to move in a platformer, so I used my right hand with the keys and used my left hand to push space :p At least you didn't use up or w for jump.
The graphics are also excellent, overall a very good entry.

Some of the pieces felt a bit unfair and when chained together, require some ninja skills to perform, but fun take on the Xjump style of game

Oh, one thing to change is a better indicator of at which point you start taking damage from the evil whatever thingy.

Great game! Hard to beat! :)

I love how nonchalant this game is about eternal evil. "Oh, btw..."

The red blocks didn't really affect gameplay all that much, since you always have more than enough health boxes. But great visual style, and well balanced difficulty (which isn't easy when you're procedurally generating levels, so nice one). Good game!

Very playable platformer. Makes effective use of simple graphics to create a nice mood.

Really liked the visuals and the gameplay was solid and really enjoyable. Nice use of powerups. I did beat it pretty fast but it was still great. All hail the almighty sun god.

Fun game though I agree with PTSnoop about the red blocks not mattering too much. The visual style is nice if a bit cluttered.

Cool game :)

Difficult but definitely enjoyable! The overwhelming amount of power ups was kinda weird making it hard to focus on the path to follow, but overall, the game is cool :D. Cheers!

Great visuals! I wish the arrow keys were mapped to a/d though. It's difficult for me to use spacebar to jump while moving with the keyboard like that.

I really loved the light effects and the difficulty curve is pretty good. The core gameplay is simple and enjoyable, well done! :)

Not sure where the theme was in this one. I'd say the graphical style, but the lighting and particles were quite advanced. :P nice platformer, reminded me of 'Monsters (probably) Stole My Princess'. Not bad.

Nice lighting effect. Why not also allow the arrow keys?

Cool lighting effects, and a pretty solid platformer!

It seems if you hit the bottom side of a red platform, you die. Is that supposed to happen?

game was hard because of using space for jump -- try something else -- like the idea -- nice effort
🎤 Zaelza
16. May 2013 · 07:08 UTC
yes using space for jump is hard. You can use leftmouse for jump
