Senilescape
You are an old gangster, locked up in a prison for 42 years, and you suddenly find a way to get out of the cell. Your goal is to escape and stay beneath the surface so you don't get killed.

Fun, fast and skilled platformer :) Nice ideas ! I got a few lags after playing a while, might come from the browser though? Using chrome.
Good luck for the votes !

Dude, well done. Really well paced and exciting game: really the core mechanic is pretty standard, but the tunes, the lighting, and the pacing makes it really fun! And the spike death sequence is so good I did it 5 times in a row just to watch it.

Really hard but fun and dynamic. It looks great and the music is cool.
Somfunambulist28 Apr 2014, 21:06
Really fun, the music perfectly compliments the manic gameplay.
HartLaboratories28 Apr 2014, 21:08
Really great job! It is well polished and fluid.

nice blood splatter effects

Really enjoyed playing this game! That damn helicopter! Love the music and the graphic style.
alvarop29 Apr 2014, 05:57
Couldn't get the game to run for some reason... huh

7elephants29 Apr 2014, 17:18
Great game, congrats! Loved the intro :D
thx4nothing29 Apr 2014, 17:26
I really like the music :D
BoTreats29 Apr 2014, 17:28
This is great! That song!! Looks awesome, lots of fun, and keeps explicitly reminding you how on track it is with the theme.

AugustSnow29 Apr 2014, 17:31
Great game! loved the play with above\beneath the surface, running different risks

radmars29 Apr 2014, 17:41
bahaahah! fuckin' great. Super tight controls, great audio & gamefeel~ lovely little details in the death animation, and infuriating meat-boy-y level design. T.T aweosme.

Amazing
BoneDaddy29 Apr 2014, 18:02
Daring! Amazing! I loved this. I think it's the best I've played so far. I can't think of anything critical to say. I guess the controls aren't my favourite (too slippery I guess) but the game is just great. I loved it, and I beat it. It felt amazing, the feeling of running away is great. 10/10

I'm a sucker for platformers and I hadn't played one from this round of LD yet, so I'm glad I started with this one. Really well executed all round, although I too thought the controls were a bit slippery at times. Nitpicking though, great job!

Great pixel art, genuinely exciting. Took me many many goes to get through level 3 and by level 4 it was way beyond my skill to complete. Enjoyable though.

Aaants30 Apr 2014, 17:35
Great game! There's a heroic amount of work for 48 hours. You'd get 6 stars for effort if there was a category for it!

rnlf30 Apr 2014, 19:53
Greatest soundtrack. Made me almost rage quit a few times, especially in the first helicopter level. It feels like the controls are a bit off, that old fart doesn't seem to jump exactly when I want him to. Old bastard.
Really enjoyed it!

A lot of fun very well done. The game puts you under constant pressure below or above the ground which guides the game along nicely Overall polished to a shine love it!

gikdew1 May 2014, 10:44
One of the best ones out there!

mrfriedfish1 May 2014, 10:49
controls takes getting used to but it's fun nonetheless... great game! memory problems aside you can continue developing it...

timtipgames1 May 2014, 10:53
Great game, but extremely difficult for me towards the end :) Lovely graphics and audio!

Zccc1 May 2014, 13:11
Amazing, altough cheap at some places! Very well done.
Simon@LD1 May 2014, 13:42
Saw this game on the TimTips-stream, really enjoyed it!
Rad Star1 May 2014, 14:22
Loved it. Nice music, cool pixel art, fun to play. Well done!

Kerdelos1 May 2014, 14:22
Nervous gameplay and nervous music, I love it ! I also love the fact that some time you can just go up and dodge the helicopter. The only criticism I can make is that sometimes the controls are too reactive and it's hard to control the character.

Lyje1 May 2014, 15:53
Seriously good platforming physics - solid tight controls! Really enjoyed this one and I kept wanting to be a rebel and try and chance it with the chopper. Nope!
sP0CkEr21 May 2014, 21:51
high marks for fun and theme - great job!
alvarop2 May 2014, 16:01
You... I like your game.

GagaPete2 May 2014, 20:20
Pretty intense game. While I wrote this comment I switched the tab to the game to play again five times. Awesome game, nice music and great graphics.

Yword3 May 2014, 13:23
Very cool music and it fits the game perfectly! The gameplay is very fun and addictive too!
Snoother3 May 2014, 14:09
You really nailed the tension. The music and platforming just perfectly suit the premise, which in itself is a pretty good take on the theme. Well done.
Cake&Code3 May 2014, 18:21
That was a lot of fun! I got to the third level where you can choose to go above the surface or beneath ground and while the surface was random change of getting hit by the helicopter it was a lot more fun :)
jujule3 May 2014, 20:30
I wrote down your name because I saw one of your posts during the compo. I'm glad I did. Solid game: perfect controls, good grpahics and good music. Jolly good fun.

Noah Ratcliff4 May 2014, 17:07
Wow! Really well done! Art, music, and gameplay are just phenomenal.

BadgerPriest6 May 2014, 02:08
Oh wow, this is amazingly polished. I wish I could get past the third stage, but my reflexes just ain't good enough.

You are featured in today's episode of "Ludumdare to Believe" by the Button Masher Bros! Check it out at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsYGv849RzM

I saw your game in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsYGv849RzM. Good work, but I cant play it, just a white screen in the link.
But, what I saw in the video was a nice game, good graphics , sounds and verry funny.

Really difficult, but beautiful and polished! Go Haxe!

jsmars8 May 2014, 06:58
Really great game here! Nice job! Great graphics and challanging game and great music! Really hard tho, but that I like!
rincewind_cz8 May 2014, 17:18
Yep, very polished game in every category :-)
ActionRemix8 May 2014, 19:23
Some of these sections seem impossible. :|
More checkpoints, or easier jumps would help.

Really cool game. I'm not sure if I agree with the character sliding, it made the controls rather annoying. But other than that the game was really, really good!

gre11 May 2014, 15:41
Very cool graphics.
Nice rushing game.
Very fun take on the theme.
Nice platform challenges.

Really funny :), I enjoy it!

Pitoum14 May 2014, 18:43
Wow! Nice speed platformer! Well played :)

Franklins Ghost18 May 2014, 07:38
Fun fast paced game which was really difficult once you started being chased by the helicopter but great to play.

Jeremias18 May 2014, 21:19
Addictive platformer. I love the art style but it's quite hard to play. I wish you had implemented a "skip level" function, so I can see more of your levels :D

Ashley Coulter20 May 2014, 07:35
Needs WASD control.







Good Luck!
