A simple escape game. Move left and right (A/D) to get to the green grass.

The little character was found online via google. I will upload the source to github. The bad textures are mine.

Its really good, controlls are easy to learn, and I like the idea of sliding.

Sadly, there are only 3 levels :(

MAKE MORE!

Fun! I like the idea of having to escape from the cage. I'd like to see more complex levels playing with the mechanic.

Nice game, but way tooo short...
I just understood the controls,and than it was over...
kalthose24 Aug 2015, 01:00
The controls felt good and the monster looked solid.

More levels!
K1llercake24 Aug 2015, 01:01
I really like this. Awesome idea and good gameplay.
With lots more levels, better graphics and gameplay this would make a pretty good (big)game.

Neat! If only there were more levels - or score, or something to try and achieve!

Pretty cool, I wanted more levels, maybe other obstacles!
RadioLemon24 Aug 2015, 01:06
Fun to play, but it is too short for how much fun it was.
polskais124 Aug 2015, 01:10
I love the idea! Make some more levels for this!!
Cosine24 Aug 2015, 01:11
The controls were sooo satisfying! Especially the animation of the bug when you moved!
Parappa24 Aug 2015, 01:12
Good controls, nice concept!

Fun fun fun!

But needs way more levels!

Simple. Did it's job. Mechanics felt great. Not a bad minute of my life. ^^
Dizzyman57224 Aug 2015, 01:14
That was a pretty nice game! The controls felt very nice and made things quite fun. :)
Peach Pie Productions24 Aug 2015, 01:15
Hey man great job! I like the physics and the level design. The game flows really well. Good entry :)
dpulrich24 Aug 2015, 01:24
This is a really neat idea! The game itself is very nice and the controls feel responsive, but it'd be better with some sound. Next time, you should download SFXR and use that to randomly generate some sounds (such as a happy ring for beating a level, or a quiet thud when you hit a wall). And of course, it'd be great if there were more levels. Nice job!

I like the way how to control ^^
and the camera is really smooth
but a littlebit short
TheZiggy24 Aug 2015, 01:38
Great concept, but obviously missing some levels and it's a little bland. But great idea! Fits the theme nicely as well.
lonewookie24 Aug 2015, 01:38
Good, concept and the sliding is fun. I think this would make a nice game if fleshed out more. :)
SvenFrankson24 Aug 2015, 01:39
Wanted to be a winning bug. Now just a whiny one.

Very good control of the player!! nice job
watupdb24 Aug 2015, 01:45
I really liked it. The game-play definitely made up for the initial impression. Wish it had more levels, but the few levels were really fun.
broiledvictory24 Aug 2015, 01:47
Fun while it lasted! If only my guy wasn't phasing through the walls, I could see potential in a game like this where it touched up in the assets and audios! Good job!
Arcadonauts24 Aug 2015, 01:47
This feels like a really solid tutorial for a good game. Now that the compo is over, you should consider expanding it to a full game.
okeedokeben24 Aug 2015, 01:50
Super fun in such a short time. Love the feel and speed of it.
Josh H24 Aug 2015, 01:52
Interesting concept! The first time I played, I went off the screen and had to reload. Once I figured out you were supposed to hit the ground, I was good to go. I was a bit disappointed that there weren't more levels, but what is there is fun.

DarkCart24 Aug 2015, 01:55
That was fun, despite being short. Good job!
PushpinderSingh24 Aug 2015, 02:01
Was fun but the levels were too easy and quick
panda
panda24 Aug 2015, 02:01
Excellent idea, I love it! And the snarky text is the perfect blend of humor and tutorial. When I left the game sit for a bit while I was doing something else, it appears my bug sunk through the floor.

It's cool, neat little sliding ramp platformer. I like it!
Ybalrid24 Aug 2015, 02:05
It's fun but short :/

I like the idea of the ramps. There is a "Sonic the Hedgehog" kind of fee with them
tsjost24 Aug 2015, 02:13
Interesting and fun concept, very sad to see that it's so short.

* Text disappears /way/ too quickly, grammatical errors doesn't help
* I was able to jump outside the green floor and start falling forever
mrjorts24 Aug 2015, 02:25
Fun! Controls well. The slidy momentum idea is good, but there aren't enough levels to really get the feel for it.
Resonious24 Aug 2015, 02:37
This is actually a pretty cool puzzle game. A more fleshed out version of this could be super interesting.
BROWNY_0924 Aug 2015, 02:46
I liked the feel of this, I wish there was some more levels. Great job!
ThisIsSinclair24 Aug 2015, 04:24
Definitely interesting.

Just wish more levels!

Good job!
Daniel X. Moore24 Aug 2015, 04:30
Pretty fun mechanics, would be cool if there were more levels and interactions, maybe spikes and elevators?

On level 2 I was able to jump over the entire grass area and fall forever :P
jstclair1324 Aug 2015, 05:01
Neat game! Controls are easy, but left me wanting more levels.
Seth Paxton24 Aug 2015, 08:19
Nicely done, enjoyable and entertaining. Adding difficulty and maybe some wall jumping would make this a cool platformer in the future.
armanb2124 Aug 2015, 09:05
You should make a mechanic which makes players want to play more- like a scoreboard!

HiddenDepthGames24 Aug 2015, 09:08
first of all, I love the physics! Really nice job there,the sens of speed and momentum is relly nice. I also like the feel of GFX alot as well. Would be great if the camera panned in the direction you are moving so you can see more.

peterkirk24 Aug 2015, 09:09
I was having fun with that. It ended far too quickly.
Leopoldine24 Aug 2015, 09:42
Good idea the system of sliding but i think theme is not really respected
We need more level ; )
drakekin24 Aug 2015, 10:40
Nice, but short. More levels would have been nice.
bombjack
bombjack24 Aug 2015, 11:10
very fun and original :) I really like the monster :)
Pedrito7324 Aug 2015, 11:19
Cool monster and physics, a good starting point!
Yamzho24 Aug 2015, 11:30
I wish there was more levels ! The idea is good !
Cruzer_AU24 Aug 2015, 11:41
Quite enjoyed this. pity is wasn't longer.
kirilllosev24 Aug 2015, 11:49
That's a nice controls! I would like to play a full version with more levels and better graphics
adsilcott24 Aug 2015, 13:16
I liked the gameplay. Wished there were more levels but it was fun while it lasted. Also I wished there were some sounds or music.
Boehrsi24 Aug 2015, 13:52
Nice one. Funny and a fast and fluid concept. Like it.

Really fun idea and I liked the dialog that went with it. I really really wish there were more levels. This has a lot of potential. Great work.

Sliding is fun. Mooaaaar levels! :)
em3plum24 Aug 2015, 16:13
this is fun you incorporate more levels this would be a fun game that could rival games like candy crush and angry birds

Kubees24 Aug 2015, 16:32
Controls are nicely smooth, but it is soooo short!
wavegunner23224 Aug 2015, 17:05
controls are amazing. the art is fine. It is short but its a ludum dare game so i can understand why. my biggest problem with the game is how easy it is. once you understand the controls it gets pretty easy and as i have already said it is very short. All in all it is a very very good ludum dare game 9/10
Vincent Sai24 Aug 2015, 18:39
Great game!
afisicos24 Aug 2015, 19:00
Really nice games. I love the end, please i want more levels.
Stepmaniafin24 Aug 2015, 20:37
Fun game, found a bug though (haha) when you manage to jump over the green area, you seem to get stuck in to the void?
vlaminck
vlaminck24 Aug 2015, 20:48
Super fun! I was hoping for more levels but settled for playing through it 3 times :)

Nice work!
oskardevelopment24 Aug 2015, 21:20
Cool monster game! I like how you took use of the movements in such an innovative way! Is there another ending than "The monster never wins", or is that the real end?
Perkovec24 Aug 2015, 22:03
Nice game. I like it! But i want more, much more! It has a good potential.
Shina6924 Aug 2015, 23:09
Too easy and too short.
Tango17225 Aug 2015, 09:38
Fun game, I like the idea.
Pusty
Pusty25 Aug 2015, 15:29
This needs more level! :D
hammerfrenzy26 Aug 2015, 03:27
Really wish you'd had enough time to start exploring more level design! Fun idea, I enjoyed it.
bouletmarc
bouletmarc26 Aug 2015, 21:35
good controls, good concept, can be a fun/funny game, but I think it miss some stuff, did it really have only 3-4 levels ?
Biruts31 Aug 2015, 16:57
Very nice project guys, i really love it, please check our game too and if you liked it give us a vote. Look for Road to hell and enjoy.
Almax2731 Aug 2015, 22:03
Very slick controls, same there was so little content :(
NebulaOrbit9 Sep 2015, 18:55
Good idea. Found a bug where I could move through walls if i ran too fast though.
DrZanuff9 Sep 2015, 23:46
Hey Man!! Very nice idea. Very nice game, but somethimes the controlers is very difficult, but it is a very nice idea to work on. Keep up.
