Kyaaa! It seemed like a typical schoolday until something different happened! Aliens have attacked the school and the remaining survivors (me) are hiding underground. There are moles everywhere and I hate moles! Can I make it out of range of the alien's laser that fires every 10 seconds!?
Great title! Art style worked great for this game. Reminded me of Canabalt's style. I thought the game was pretty easy and I flew through it.....only to unlock the UP mode. Not quite as easy! Well thought-out rewards adds a lot to this package. Also, your level design is superb and all the little details are great (like the moles hiding right before the lasers fire)! This is one of the top games I've played for this comp.
Nice work on putting those different modes. It really makes a lot. And I was able to really appreciate the level design on the 'up' mode. Great work on that. Graphics and sounds contribute to create a great mood, I'm a fan of the laser sound.
The pacing of each mode is great. By the time I was at "No Checkpoint Mode" the game was really intense, and every mistake and close call was a treat for my nerves. A lot of frustrating and challenging fun. Loved it!
Giving this game anything less than 5 stars would be a disgrace, Farfin this is a master piece well done! Im going to play a few of your past entries after the compo, really impressive stuff and glad to find your games!
Platforming felt really nice. I had no trouble jumping on those vertical paths (which is something many get wrong!).
The laser idea was quite nice and made me pay attention to where I should hide... but what I liked most was the moles burying themselves to hide from the light! This enabled me to have some breather.
Another great decision was the camera only following when you are touching the ground and the death by going off screen. This made the game harder, since I had to plan carefully also based on these aspects.
The graphics were simply, but quite nice! The animations were specially great!
And you've made me play this four times!! Since the game was short, I tried every mode. =D

The jelly-like splat of the character on platform landings is pretty cute.
I was a little bit disappointed after the "c" thing. :P
(didn't expect anything but a great game from you)
the mood is amazing - great music too
Its very simple and addictive. I like that there isn't procedural generation and the descend has an end =)
Good job !
fun + mood.
