I liked juiciness of your game. Playing it was fun. Also, nice usage of theme. Good job!

Simple but really cool game, love the sounds they make when they reach the top. I like how you made it so that game sometimes speed ups for a while and then slow downs, it makes this simple game a lot more intense.

I don't know what they say when they get to the top of the volcano but I imagine they scream, "CANNON BALL!" Haha Loved it! Great job volcano brother (i made a volcano game too)!

It seems like a easy game in the beginning, but pretty soon it becomes very challenging. Nice entry, thank you! P.S. What are they saying?

I found it strangely Zen, and the portrait play area you've gone for would make it a great mobile game!

@sauski it's actually developed with Corona SDK (Lua) which is a development environment for mobiles, very easy to make a mobile build. It's a possibility with a post-compo polished version.

first I thought ok I just dodge the fireballs pretty easy and then there where soo many people xD
a very nice twist to the old "dodge something" style games.

I scored 27 :) Very retro, indeed. Shame you didn't manage to submit it to the compo.
