That's really quite addictive! Great concept, great graphics and two game modes which are each good in their own right. The only thing missing is a soundtrack, but I'm not sure whether that would ruin the ambience.

Crazy game, but fun enough for me to play it a whole bunch of times. They should write on that dudes tombstone, "If only his neck, were as strong as that helmet."

This is fantastic. Really like the movement idea though I am terrible at it. :D

Nice graphics and exciting gameplay!

The sound when you break your neck gives me the shievrs for some reason! Still, I like the idea, really fun and simple to play.

This is gloriously dumb. I love it.

Excellent work! :D

Awesome! Loved the slow down/decapitation when he dies. Really nice graphics (but I'm a sucker for voxels.) Difficulty seemed to ramp up too quickly, never made it very far at all. With some tweaking, this could be really cool!

Very excellent game! I could only get a few meters but was reward each time with gore!

Lol, pretty funny, I really enjoyed the pixelated blood and rocket propelled miner. It could really use a good theme song, but overall it was good :)

Beautiful lighting, but why is my avatar so floaty?

sP0CkEr229 Apr 2014, 05:36

omg. I loved it. you really need to add screams when his head falls off. great job.

Interesting, decent graphics, nice concept. Could have been polished, maybe some better audio and music, but overall enjoyable.

Can't really get the hang of the controls, so I can't really rate the rest of the game sadly. I really like the death effect though, haha. And of course the neck snapping.

Fun to play. Loved the movement style and the fact that is score based.

Lyje29 Apr 2014, 15:46

Not entirely sure how the mechanics actually work but I enjoyed it all the time! Pretty addictive :)

Great game, that neck snapping sound is creepy :)
I imagine this would make a great app.

Bunch of really cool stuff! I like how the game mechanic is so simple yet challenging at the same time that requires the player to actually focus :D
Kudos to you!
