This version is pretty buggy and the game is pretty short ... I'm really sorry about that ... the new files got corrupted and I lost half the levels :( ... Please don't be too harsh to the game while rating ...

Have fun and enjoy !

Controls : W to jump , D to roll , S to stop rolling + Dash down quickly ...

P.S : You can't land while jumping ...

I'm not trying to be harsh, but I legitimately could not figure out what the heck was going on. Some instructions would help a lot.

Liked the game mechanics and the variation of the levels made it interesting. The buttons felt really unresponsive - it was like I had latency issues. Unfortunately a bug which made me fall through the ground when I tried to jump stopped me from playing any longer.

It may be because of your browser , please play on Chrome ...

Cool concept, although requiring the user to press a key to land safely takes a bit of getting used to.
So i was spamming 'D' alot and discovered a bug which lets you hover in mid air, done at the correct point I was able to fly accros everything. :P

Very cool concept, and I think the graphics fit perfectly with the theme. I agree with _Rilem that I had to retrain my fingers to do something when landing, but that's not a bad thing. I also found a few game-breaking bugs:

-Camera lost focus on me, and I rolled off screen
-Stuck in a wall
-Hover in mid-air

They usually occurred when hitting multiple keys.

What zatyka said. But a very great idea. Liked it!

It was a bit buggy, but overall I enjoyed the game! Worked great in Firefox too! Good job.

finally figured it.. but sometimes the rolls just vanish in between rolling.

Went couple of spikes ahead :)

I had a bit trouble with the controls but overall the game looks good and is pretty minimalistic :)

I don't know if theres any audio at all or if my browser doesn't play it :/

I really liked this regardless the bugs pointed out. The idea of having to manually designate when you land is interesting and has a lot of weight behind it. Lead to some pretty cool challenges.

I hope you stick with this idea beyond LD, you could do quite a bit with it. It reminds me of The Impossible Game with a twist.

Liked the general concept, at least the parts I figured out.
Must confess I didn't get it all.

The collision bounds often times are unexpected. The collision detection in general seems pretty unforgiven. Maybe it is the controls, I'm not sure.

i like the idea, but i kept falling through the floor or floating in air.

I liked what you were going for here and the base visual design. The control scheme and switching states just frustrated me, though.

Good game! Interesting idea for a platformer. Took me a while to get it but then it was fun!
Riccardo Stucchi2 May 2013, 14:11
I've found the same bug that M0N0QUARTZ has told before. Btw i like very much the concept of the game, an "impossible game" but with more keys to press and, for this reason, less boring. I enjoyed play it! Good work!
P.s. Maybe the "D" key is a little bit "lamer"

very Funny.

You should adjust the jump velocity in relation with obstacle placements. And add sound. :)

I had fun playing it. Cool waves. Great job!

Good concept, but a bit buggy. I managed to float through the sky across most of the level.
bvanschooten2 May 2013, 19:11
The game look attractive, only I got stuck in the 2nd level. Could not make the jumps, kept dying for no apparent reason. Is this a bug? I did not get any sound on Firefox.
onzephyr3 May 2013, 03:23
liked the concept. visuals matched the concept and fit the gameplay well. controls took a bit for me to get used to but I managed then it all went pretty smooth. Nice game.

The shape mechanic was pretty good, but you were right about the game being buggy. I randomly respawned at the top of the level and breezed through. No audio either, feels like it should have some.
wzl4 May 2013, 12:18
Interesting concept. Took a bit to figure out, but i like the gameplay that emerges. Awesome that you added that many checkpoints too! would be rather frustrating without them!
And BUGS :D sometimes i was rolling around midair, and then later on when i pressed right and up simultaneously it totally went nuts!
Good game though!
