Let's cut to the chase:
- an astronaut cyclist
- jumping speedily
- on platforms through space
- connecting two worlds
- with toxic fuel strapped to his back
- while trying not to explode!
Instructions:
Space - Jump
Left/Right - Move
R - Reset
Our first EVER LD ... we loved it! We'll post more later...
Fun game :) The graphics are really nice, and that explosion when you hit something looks awesome. I like the platforms change on replays, keeps it interesting.
The bicycle was pretty hard to control, but then again that might be the point. I liked the way gravity changed as you made your way up/down the level, and the graphics were great.
Liked it. The gameplay seems heavy and old-school at first but then you start feeling how accurate you have to be to time your jumps on your bike's wheels and its feels good to me. Nice implementation of the theme by the way. Hope you'll polish the game a bit more (like improve walls left/right transitions, add in game instructions, musics, etc.) and release it for real. Good luck with that.
It's BEAUJIFUL. Seriously, nice art. Sound effects are fun too. Simple gameplay, with a nice 'twist'. The death animation made it feel forgiving when you missed a jump. Good job!
I liked this a lot :) First off, the explosion was brilliant :P The biker and astronaut were very nice as well, good graphics. The sound effects, I enjoyed, background music would have been nice though, it gets a bit repetitive. Very interesting idea with the gravity changing half way through, that was not expected :) Moving from one side of the screen to the other could use some cleaning up, but otherwise, everything seemed to work how it was supposed to.
Nice looking and interesting idea, my only issue is that the controls are very slippery, and jumping kills your momentum. The random levels can make almost impossible jumps too. Other than that you did good.
Haha, this was a blast to play, and nicely tuned for ramping difficulty! Lots of cute and well done touches, like the adjusting gravity and the death star in space. Nice work!
Really like the clean cartoony look of this! Controls felt a bit weird (with the sudden change in horizontal speed when jumping in the first half of the game) but it played fine nonetheless.
I loved the background art; it enticed me to progress to the end. The explosion was pretty funny as well. The reverse of gravity was pretty awesome. One thing that bugged me was the loss of horizontal momentum on jumping. But add in some music and this would feel like a finished game, nice job!

On my first attempt, there was a jump I just couldn't make - next try I didn't have that problem, and had a blast.
Simple gameplay, with a nice 'twist'. The death animation made it feel forgiving when you missed a jump.
Good job!
