Warning this game is hard - Some comments from down below :P

took me a moment to realize that EVERYTHING kills you, thought it was just the binary at first.

got about halfway before I was destroyed.

I really dig the style and the challenge.

it was (and is) dastardly hard :)

The game is really hard at some point.

grinding my teeth and giving up

Linux and Mac versions UNTESTED. As it is Unity3d, I decided to give it a try. Use at own risk :P

Reunite the screen with its PC.

So here is my first ever Ludum Dare. I like the theme, it really put me out of my comfort zone and I learned a lot.

I did everything myself, except for the music.

I bought Pixel Maker PRO on special and used it with my Galaxy Note 3 and its stylus or pen to create the graphics.

Sleep now, play later :D

Flappy bird maze thing? Awesome! I actually really dig the concept!

There might be a bug here. I can't see the player sprite.

@ben_pxlplz - Which version? Web or Windows?
Jayson
Jaysonauthor8 Dec 2014, 07:38
@ben_pxlplz Web version resolution might be too high, you can't see the player unless you scroll down on some screens.

I lowered it. Please use ctrl-F5 to reload the web player completely.

Thank you for the feedback :D

@Raptor85 - the floor doesn't kill you at least :P

Epicness my friend, got about halfway before I was destroyed. Nice going!

Everybody hates a blue screen... very clever xD

I really dig the style and the challenge. It's good that you can restore your "health" otherwise it would have been insane :P

Very good gameplay, but next time work a little bit more on graphics.

Really cool! Only thing: your highscore does not save. But nice work anyways.

Get one screen in one screen to its screen on your screen :) Hahahaha :)

At least you put in two lives, or else it was (and is) dastardly hard :)

The style is a very nice touch! I also really love the challenge, even though I'm absolutely awful at the game; I got about halfway through before grinding my teeth and giving up, but it was a fun little romp nonetheless!

A sort of flappy bird with a floppy!
The game is really hard at some point.
At first I thought even the floors would kill you, but fortunately was not.

And here you guys see, what happens if you combine Flappy Bird and a maze.

Blue screen Windows SO... KKKK. Its very fun.

Yep, it's hard, but it's not super frustrating. It does take a bit of time to figure out that everything kills you, and I'm really glad that you have a point of health you can go through.

Nice take on Flappy Bird. I feel like the consistency of the flapping makes it much easier than actual Flappy Bird, where you would always start plummeting really quickly without another tap. Health and repairs also make it a little easier.

Wow, that is difficult... Never got past the third tier, but had fun trying.

Web version seems to be offline? At least the site doesn't load for me.
ShellfishGames21 Dec 2014, 14:35
Worked now, it is indeed rather difficult but made it through about half the map, so I feel like I've accomplished something today. Thanks man. :D
Not too bad for your first LD, good thing you settled for a relatively simple concept, it seems you managed to finish it instead of being overly ambitious and not getting there in the end. :)
