First Ludum Dare ! Hope you guys enjoyed it !

There are 8 levels with walls, ennemies and laser beams at the end ! It's kindda hard to beat the last levels, but you should try it !

You are a prisonner that has decided to escape a futuristic prison. But who cares ?

This is a runner where you only get one button to warp the character ! Space to warp.

I really enjoyed doing it. Thanks for playing !

Cool concept. The controls are so-so, but I liked the idea. Maybe add some warp effect to make it look better?

AlanZucconi16 Dec 2013, 04:11

It reminds me of Velocity Ultra! :D Did you ever played it? :D

the splash screen graphics are great, it would be cool to carry over more of that look into the game - that monochrome look is neat.

Hey thanks for the comments ! Alan I never played VelocityUltra no :)
mcapraro yeah I am satisfied with the graphics (idea came from a pixel art I saw) but actually it took me too much time to make ! If I had to do it again I don't think I would spend as much time on the graphics, but more on the level design.

I like the environments!

Cool graphics, fun concept, nice take on the theme.

Good Job!

The art looks great and the mechanics work well, good game!

nerial16 Dec 2013, 18:23

Interesting art ! It could have been nice to be able to choose in which lane to go.

I like it, though the warping felt pretty laggy at times. Enough to make me run into walls a lot more than I thought I would.

phi616 Dec 2013, 18:27

Game mechanic is solid and fun. But I thought I was going to die when hitting the walls. Instead you carry on - so that was a bit underwhelming. Then again, I really wanted this game to be tough tough tough like Canabalt :) Overall, warping is a great concept and I think you could pursue this idea further!

Nice concept! I think if you put sound effects to game maybe be better... :)

Nice runner

Good Job!

Nicely done with impressive artwork.

Cool graphics, are Flashback style. The game is very entertaining and you could make a version for mobile phones!

Nice looking game. I think the gameplay would work better if the warping was more responsive, especially the times where you need to warp 2+ times quickly.

Manou17 Dec 2013, 16:10

Best addictive game so far, good job.

TobiasNL17 Dec 2013, 21:09

Pretty good, liked the lane switching. the warping itself felt a bit slow though, but that could be me.

Raphyauthor18 Dec 2013, 12:24

Thanks for the nice feedback ! By the way, the game is hard, especially after the level 5 or 6.

madflame99118 Dec 2013, 12:34

The art looks great and the game mechanics are good. However, the order the lanes change might use some tweaking in my opinion. You could also try to make the warping more responsive.

Nice graphics. Cool game.

DanielSnd18 Dec 2013, 20:48

My first impressions on the game :)

MRvanderPants19 Dec 2013, 09:51

I love the vertical spawn mechanic in this game. The run animation was very smooth too!

rnlf22 Dec 2013, 01:47

Nice idea. Controls seem a bit laggy.

Muciojad22 Dec 2013, 11:45

Quite good game ;) I saw background's connect points, I think you should repair it because it looks a little ugly ;) Controls are some unconfortable, and a shame that there is no music ;) Anyway, I think is good game like a first LD entry, I wish you good luck! Cheers ;)

Nelien23 Dec 2013, 23:31

Really liked the graphics style; I think that runners should feel a bit more fast paced though -- the downside to hitting a barrier didn't feel like enough of a disincentive.

The linux version deosn't run. It looks like you mistakenly packaged the windows one in the linux download

archaeometrician26 Dec 2013, 03:26

Cool idea, the graphics are well done. It's a nice game !

csanyk30 Dec 2013, 15:50

No sound:(

It seems there's no consequence for getting stuck on a wall, either.

Keep polishing!

Raphyauthor1 Jan 2014, 14:34

Thanks for all the comments !

For the ones saying that there is no consequences getting stuck on a wall, can you please play for more than one minute ?
There is limited time to finish levels and there are deadly walls (ennemies) starting after a few levels...

Pretty awesome warping mechanic. Also you should definitely do an endless/survival mode.
