Good job! Very intesting idea and interpretation.
Great art and gameplay!
pour Gecko had to be sacrificed for our enjoyment thoo
I had a slight problem of double jumping from time to time also
4.7 / 5 keep it up!
Very creative interpretation of the theme with a nice execution!
It's well done and smart. The music and sound seem to be a bit of an afterthought in a couple funny ways. The first being after being able to adjust sfx and music at the start (which is nice) you get an alarm sound much louder than the beginning music/sfx prepare you for and the Charlie Brown adult narration having pops and mouse clicks in the recording (just do another take lol). But this is one of the most played games for a reason.
Thank you for the constructive feedback! :D
oh yeah, you're right - to be absolutely honest, we never thought that so many people would play it, so it's kinda embarrassing that we didn't change the SFX or make another recording :'D and we couldn't believe that nobody commented on it until now lol. So, we really appreciate you mentioning this and are considering to polish the audio and other stuff for an after-jam update! and thanks again! :)
I hope I didn't sound too harsh, I would want to know if my audio had some issues like that to improve on. I think you could've used a dedicated sound person on your team as you two seem to have really great talents in art and gameplay that you could focus on more.
Great use of the jam theme!
Clever concept that tottaly embrace the theme! Great production too!
Well done !
nice idea, the idea could be developped further with more obstacle types :) the drawings are very nice !
Man this game is tough!!
The concept is amazing! This was an exceptionally creative game. The execution and design was perfect.
Loved everything about it!
But Poor little gecko I feel for you. He's adorable!
Too bad he doesn't have an attack of some kind... hmMMmMMmm like a stomp attack perhaps? (just kidding) XD
Amazing! The implementation is wonderful with the mixing of 3d and 2d and the reasoning with the shadows is incredible. Excellent work!
this is like taking the game from Chrome when you're offline and injecting creativity steroids into it, love the idea. And it goes well with the theme of the contest!
Nice game design and art style! I like the difficulty increase design, make single run not too long or too short.
I love this! It's a great implementation. I did something similar, but mine was much more basic
Amazing job making something fun and unique with a limited scope! Very nice polish and creativity. Excellent work :)
Cool and interesting concept!
Great twist on an iconic game! I love the beginning animation. Great work!
the artstyle is soo cute and the gameplay is adicting but i found an exploit where you can just campon the bottom of the sceen and jump over everything and the meteors dont hit you.
overall I would have never tought of something like this and i hope you get in the top 100
Such a well executed idea, loved the intro cinematic. Quite difficult but I got 592 points! Only complaint is that I would like to be able to restart by pressing space or something (as to not have to move hand to mouse to retry)
Very cute art style and fun concept!!!
I just played it again, and I have to say that this is the most historically accurate game I have ever played. Good job.
