Not bad. Hit a bug on the portal level where they are vertical (third level with portals). Dave just flat out disappeared. Pretty responsive, and the cut scene was decent.
Pretty funny idea. I wish the first cutscene was skipabble though. Also I can't get past the straight away when he is 2 seconds away from his house where he runs fast on the straight away with one platform to the left, Dave keeps going through me! Is that bugged? I though standing in the middle would make him jump to platform, but nothing seems to stop him there.
chunkybrewster - Sorry about that... not really a bug, more like a "I was running time and every idea was a good idea" Dave will jump if your standing more right of center. then run fast left a STAB him!
The way "Dave" moves is especially clever with how he semi-realistically avoids the spike or moves back to the beginning. You should develop this further post-LD as it has a lot of potential.
It felt a bit rough around the edges, and the visuals felt like they contrasted each other. Kudos on having an intro, though I did wish I could progress the dialog on my own. The simple gameplay mechanic worked well, and could definitely be expanded on were you to keep working on the game.
I was stuck on the level after he got the milk, where the hint was something about "soaring off the edge". After a while, I moved too far to the left (off screen), and couldn't get back.
It could definitely use polish, but a nice entry. Congrats on your first LD.
Very nice and original game! The cutscene was nice, but since I had to reload the game after the rewind-bug, it would have been nice to have an option to skip it. Well done. :)
Brilliant! I got stuck with Dave next to a wall, where he was unable to go back to the start. However, the game idea and the way it plays is really rather very good. And I mean: Excellent job!
Interesting concept in a couple of ways, never seen anything quite like it! I got as far as the level where Dave starts in a little cave on the bottom right, and has a little gas coming out of him. I didn't know what to do and time ran out.
Thanks everybody for the feedback so far. I will be updating this game soon and it will include a skip feature for cutscenes. I did have the idea it was just in the "If i have time add extras too" category. I will also be fix bugs and other things i added in the last hours so they didnt get much testing.
@hammerfrenzy -- Yeah i caught on that in the last hours but couldnt add because i had to fix all other things like a menu and fixing sound and other stuff like that..... :( will be added in update!!!
There was something classically funny about the musical intro. Really loved that. I like the indignant spike. Had trouble the controls and getting Dave to jump at the right time, but I'm no monster
Really nice game! I loved the idea and how you used the theme. Game mechanics are clever! Very good challenge, well balanced (at least for me) The audio was good, the graphics were simple but nice. Had a lot of fun!

Overall good job!

The intro scene was also good. Poor Dave.
