Nice work, the game is pretty fun to play. Would have been nice to have a way to turn off the music though, it was quite loud.

Collision stuff is broken on "roofs" bro

Re Gins && ccglp comments: this might just be a problem with the web version as it uses web gl. Try the jar instead.

A lil bit glitchy, but I enjoyed it :)

Unfortunately very buggy. Holding down space and fire allowed me to jump through the platforms.

Gravity is way too fast. Strongest element was the music which sounds like late-80s arcade and Sega Genesis music.

I also had those green lines appearing between tiles in browser and some animations would have been cool, but otherwise great little game :)

I agree with a lot of the other comments, a lot of bugs. Sometimes I could jump through platforms or hang on the side of or under a platform. Also I saw an ant walking in the ground.

really glitchy collisions, if you hold UP key beneath platform, you will hang in air and after time phase through the platform above you, jumps are crazy fast
also music is really loud
also got some GwtApplication exception..

Very hard, I got slaughtered by the insects. Music was pretty good, although very loud. Controls were very hard due to the extremely fast gravity.
A bit glitchy altogether, but still not bad for a first entry! Now I'm going to give it another shot and try to beat it ;).

Has potential, but needs work on collision

Don't know why everyone loved the music, all I had was a very noisy electronic-bee-like sound so I think i'm missing something.
Game was bugged in the end, i killed the ant queen but couldn't reach my friend

Ahh the bees!

Odd vertical green lines when scrolling. I played the game with headphones and the sound effect of the bees was very disconcerting and added to the mood considerably.

Slightly buggy but nothing game breaking. Good pacing. I could my pal but could not rescue him before I died.

Collision is buggy and WASD control not works in the same way as arrows





The music was nice though, and I could see some neat ideas.
I'll try it again later on my stronger computer, maybe if it doesn't have the framerate issues, the collision bugs won't appear either.
