Simple mechanics that still offered a decent amount of challenge.We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #36. We made the same thing at the previous jam.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free) \r<br\/>So we can include also your game in the video ;) \r<br\/>p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description.

Especially the tone used in the nipples. So innocent... By the way, if you manage to put enough distance between yourself and the wheel, you'll see that the shake is not at all constant, but a well placed indicator and a clever way, imo, to build up the tension."},{"author_name":"akildoruk","author_uid":"113654","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 8:27pm","epoch":1472588520,"text":"and p&uuml;re... innocent and p&uuml;re..."},{"author_name":"RafaSKB","author_uid":"90983","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 11:58pm","epoch":1472601180,"text":"That's a very fun game!

Sadly, here, the jumping is not crisp. Also a problem, I am not sure how the people who scored higher than me did, but personally I never jumped, so it's a game of hold right, tap (guy, little rock) or double tap (big rock) and just hope the rng don't give you too many big rocks in a row.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It feels like with different rocks, guys that jump at you and can chase you, free movement, jumping and an axe to swing, there must be ways to have richer interactions (though possibly not in 72h! Maybe explore things further in a post-jam version?)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked though that the hit box of the axe is tiny, because it gives a good feeling when you swing the axe with good enough timing to break the rock or stun the guy without slowing down."},{"author_name":"MrErdalUral","author_uid":"110286","time":"Sep 1, 2016 @ 11:22am","epoch":1472728620,"text":"@Spinach - Unfortunately we could not test the game on mac.

I don't prefer runners personally on a PC, since it only appeals to the skill (so there is no take-a-decision process for a player). Just a bit fantasy - you could add stamina bar to break this mindless key spamming and make jump-or-hit choice more important. Some special abilities could stretch the gameplay a bit, e.g dashes, high jumps, powerups and may be some random platforms?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Just some thoughts."},{"author_name":"RafaSKB","author_uid":"90983","time":"Sep 2, 2016 @ 12:12am","epoch":1472774820,"text":"@MrErdalUral You're right, I didn't see the &quot;Fantastic&quot; setting note in the description and went with the default one, which was &quot;Fastest&quot;.
