That art-style and UI really gives nostalgia, I love it. I couldn't actually complete a level, because the UP arrow didn't work. :( I will rate you in Graphics only and come back if you fix it. Great entry!

I don't know how we can't make focus on the game, but maybe if you zoom out the up arrow will work (sorry for that).
Thank you !

Very nice graphics, fast controls, the game is just beautiful! I liked all the details which make it feel like an old Game&Watch.
I had to scroll up for the butterfly part because my screen is not that big ^^

At first i was like "whoa, this is cool", ten seconds later i was like"err.. what am i doing here?".

So to explain that, i really liked the idea of the DS it was really cool, the problem is that i had to scroll the page to be able to see the top part, which takes off my focus on the game. Even though you explained the objective of the game, it was still confusing but it may have been my misundertanding of the rules. The only reason i did not played more was because of dying in the butterfly stage and having to continue from the start. That is really frustrating.

So the innovation is fantastic, you just need to work the game design a little more.

Thanks for all your feedback.

CzarSilvestrini : we hesitated long about the respawn, but we thought that to start again from the beginning was closer to the original G&W.

After the judging time, I think I will make a post-mortem version with a - I hope - better game design. And a game that fit entirely in the page (don't forget to zoom out !).

Nice retro style, but I couldn't use the up arrow, and scrolling up and down is annoying. Could you set up another key instead for UP and Down arrows which are used for scrolling the page content. cool entry btw!

Psychonull : I can do this with the spacebar, but is it forbidden because the time limit is outdated ?

One of the most unique entries I have played. Great job! You really nailed the feel of an old Game and Watch. Awesome!

The up arrows work when you're on the second screen, before, it do anything, don't worry

For information, I replaced the up arrow by Ctrl.
The game has not changed otherwise.

Nice little game, reminds me of the good old games. Had fun playing this, wish there was more to the gameplay though. Good efforts, my man. :)

I like the old fashion LCD game graphics. Definitely needs some old sounds to get the old fashion mood, but well done anyway :)

Cool design and ideas but both game screens don't scale to the computer screen which makes it hard to play
