OMG THIS GAME IS SO SMART Also loved the little cutscene!! The 2D 3D mix is really cool! Overall obsessed with the concept and art is cute. poop gecko guy :')

The gameplay and atmosphere feel amazing in this game.

the opening cutscene is outrageously good! The art is cute, the sfx fit nicely with it, and the gurbled dialogue is great, too. Love the interpretation of the theme using cast shadows. Very creative. I did have frame rate issues in the game scene, and I found I could mostly camp out in the foreground and didn't need to move to shrink my shadow too much. The bgm stopped looping at one point as well. But it's a very cute take on the theme and really nice art. Really great presentation.

Oh very interesting this games, it's fun 👌

Can I just say calling your game "for your life" was genius! Love the twist - so simple and so satisfying!

Submitted

Pretty Creative game!

I love the twist! It is suprisingly hard at times ;P

Submitted

Awesome idea! I like the gameplay. Very Simple, well-known game with a twist. Love it <3

Good use of the classic broken internet game on chrome with an extra scaling twist in positioning of the shadows. You made me feel bad for the little exploited lizard. Good thing I've switched to Firefox as my browser.

I love this idea so much and the execution was brilliant aswell! 

I really hope this game does well!

Submitted

Very cool!

Damn, what a smart reuse of assets. Even though many props were made in advance, the game itself plays so well!

Submitted

I think this was a really creative idea.

Loved the twist on the original game!! What a fun way to turn a 2D game into a 3D (2.5D?) one. Quickly challenging when you realize you need to keep tracks of ALL of your surroundings. Good job!!

Submitted

The concept of this is so good, great execution as well. Loved the cutscene and the music picked fits really well too. I like how chaotic it gets focusing on 2D and 3D at the same time. Great entry!

This will be a trending game. Can not believe it's made in 48 hrs. The idea makes me laugh. Would love to see your comments & ratings on my submissions.

Really cool take on the theme! Fun to play with lots of polish and the intro cut scene was a super nice touch.

Submitted

A third dimension to not having internet! Love it!
