A game centered around a little character who was given an acid spewing thing by his best friend (or something like that)and is on a quest to destroy his enemy. This game is pretty simple in concept - you need to reach your enemy by dissolving the walls and floors of your world.

Note: If you get stuck, or the character doesn't spawn (I haven't observed this bug recently, but it happened), or whatever, press 'r' to restart. Also, you can double-jump.

The gameplay was intuitive and the controls were pretty smooth. The difficulty lvl is balanced. It had classic flavor and in contradictory to the ending screen I didn't see any bug. It is a pretty fun game.
I like that you can affect the environment. It plays nicely in the H shaped screen where you have to make your way up through the collapsing platforms.

The only bug I can think of is that for a split second you see the second chat screen before the first.(minor)

Hey, didn't work AT ALL for me on my windows box (32bit Windows XP Sp2). Will try to comile it later under linux!

Weird. I'll see if I did something wrong when I was building it for Windows, although I'm pretty sure that it works on some windows machines.

Decent little player mechanism, with tuning this could be really great!

Hard to manage the jump and double jump but fun enough to keep me playing some times :)

When I run the program, its process instantly becomes a zombie. I tried using compatibility settings for XP, same result.

I'm on Win7, 64-bit.

Sorry I couldn't play =(

Same as eli, I'm afraid. The game starts up and does absolutely nothing besides loitering in the process list.
