I WANT MORE LEVELS!

Very good game. Simple and very addictive. I liked the random map generator which made a little bit of variation into the game.
SirJavaGaming13 Dec 2015, 19:39
Nice little game. Maybe you want to add some levels and upload it to Google Play?!
David13 Dec 2015, 21:35
Very addictive, i played like 20 times until i really finally got to the final step. Love the simplistic graphics, they work very good! The randomness makes it interessting over time. I would love to see it out the on the market, adding some more different obstacles/ block types and I think it´s ready for the market!
Awesome game all in all!

The concept is good, it looks good, but I think it could use a bit more than 2 types of dangerous stuff. Also, the difficulty curve could be a bit steeper. I think it was a bit too easy even at the top. I think, at the top, there should be something dangerous on like 2/3 of tiles to make it very challenging to get to the very top.

Nice game, reminds me of a mobile game I played though... mountain jumping game..

Devark14 Dec 2015, 05:33
Simple, clean and polished - love it! The obstacles were a bit annoying to wait for though, considering the aim is to get as low a time as possible, other than great work! (santa hat was a nice touch).
makiki9914 Dec 2015, 08:56
Really great game. Really fits the two button theme, really nice graphics, sounds are okay, could be a little bit louder. The Santa's hat is a nice touch.
Boberro14 Dec 2015, 12:56
At the first time I got to 82, never again got further than 50...
I love the sounds. Or the sound. Anyways it's a nice touch.

I loved this game, the way the pitch changes the further up you get is great. The traps were a nice frustrating addition and this game has officially made it into my book of "beat" this game when I have time!

Graphics were nice and minimalistic, audio was good, I had a blast playing and overall it was a great entry.

Thank you, hope to see more of your games in the future!
Zetym14 Dec 2015, 17:04
Good game, feels polished and the graphics fit together really well
nonetheless14 Dec 2015, 17:17
Lovely game, simple but great sounds and visuals, solid idea, and the hat. Great work! :)
Chubb133714 Dec 2015, 19:04
Nice little game! I like the increase in pitch, as well as the tension you feel when you're standing on a fading block, waiting for the spikes to go down.
Yamzho14 Dec 2015, 20:13
Very nice entry !

Awesome idea! Make more levels, more challenges and maybe add some music to improve the mood1 ;)
MikeTsunami15 Dec 2015, 00:07
Addictive and simple! Could definitely see people playing this on mobile! I'm hooked!
windwarrior15 Dec 2015, 00:19
Liked it :D, very awesome. If you want some sort of score attack tho, you might want to create levels (not generate), so that you can poke fun at your friends for the score you got on a level... OR, make it endless so rhat the random doesnt affect too much. OHH this game is soo full of potential, finish it :D

Nice game! The isometric view and then using left and right arrow keys was sorta tough to get used to though. Overall nice job.
mukult15 Dec 2015, 00:54
Nice addictive game...
Like the art style! :D

Amazing. Best game I have played for the entire Ludum Dare 34. Kudos on a job well done.

Great Game! I would pay for a full version
tvheeswijck15 Dec 2015, 04:19
Decent endless runner for a jam build. Sound and graphics are both quite good, but it's a little lacking in character otherwise.
banana4life
banana4life15 Dec 2015, 05:47
perfect minigame... but desperately missing sound
Ingon15 Dec 2015, 06:07
Really well made. Different interactions and engaging sound.

The shifting in pitch as you get higher is so rewarding. I love how you've put in a timer and a score counter, alot of people don't. The art style is clean and precise
qwetro15 Dec 2015, 07:03
Excited but not with great fun. Nice graphic and sound.
x92rwzb15 Dec 2015, 10:10
Very good game but it needs more levels.

great game, adding something like, tile will fall if you aren't fast enough, will be great i think

Drtizzle15 Dec 2015, 12:30
Really neat concept!
This could be a really good game when you put some more time in it. It's easy to grasp, and could be made more complex with some more work.
Love the graphics!
Ingon15 Dec 2015, 14:04
Really well made. Different interactions and engaging sound.
Pietdagamer15 Dec 2015, 16:54
Mechanics are introduced at a nice pace, and I really like the simple aesthetic.

Cool idea! Would love to see it expanded upon!

Such a simple game, and yet I replayed it so many times. It was more difficult than I thought and quite enjoyable. I was not expecting that level of fun. Nice job!
Ben Allen15 Dec 2015, 21:15
Really awesome game! Would love to see it expanded upon. It's super simple, but it works well and is really satisfying to play.

Cool game! Very simple and adictive! Got about 80 Score at 5-th try =)
I'll check out later if there are more than spikes and empty cells. Good job anyway!

Pretty cool game! It's really addictive. Simple and fun gameplay with a certain "just one more try!!!!"

Almost like flappy bird in that regard.

Add music and polish it a bit and you might have a mobile hit! I'd pay some money for it!

Really good job!

Played on Android
Justin Mullin16 Dec 2015, 23:56
Awesome. It's so simple, but perfectly executed. I love the sound, and the art fits exactly. I don't think I'm brave enough to hone my time down, but I can definitely see a draw to do so that's not present in many LD games. Nicely done!
Ithildin
Ithildin17 Dec 2015, 01:03
Brilliant game! Minimalistic graphics, sound and gameplay blend perfectly here, it's really addictive. If you keep working on it in the future (please, do!) it would be cool to add other tile types, as some people have already mentioned.

Congrats!! :D

Very nice game, really enjoyed playing it, finished it in 44:72, a high score board would be great!

Very well done buddy!

Really addictive and pleasing in gameplay and visuals :) nice game.
simon.parzer21 Dec 2015, 22:04
Amazing. Classic "why didnt I think of that" thing. So much potential for your android app as well (backgrounds/themes/players, competitive scoring, complementary handcrafted levels, additional obstacles/falling onto platforms/multiple routes...). My only critique for this compo would be that you dont explicitly use the time as a score when finishing which is very easy if you play slowly. You could have e.g. made it so that platforms behind you start falling down. Congrats and nice hat
Wicked700021 Dec 2015, 22:04
Really good game , great job keep it up!

herniewise21 Dec 2015, 23:15
Get me an iOS version!
SHLFStudios21 Dec 2015, 23:44
Yes, please...more. I kept losing the level at the very begining before I even pressed a button on a few rounds, but that didn't keep me from playing this a billion times before I made it through.

clean sounds and crisp controls plus the simple gameplay make the whole experience very engaging. Great work!

The level was just the right length. Long enough so that when I beat it, I felt like I had accomplished a large amount, yet short enough that it wasn't a big hassle to get back to where I had left off. The sound effects really added to the game's experience and the graphics were nice. Good job overall!

Just wish there was some music :C
_benhumphries22 Dec 2015, 04:03
Wow! Something about this game is just amazing! I can picture it on an iPhone as a game to compete with your friends in. Simple, but phenomenal!

P.S. I like the jumping sound a lot

Drauthius22 Dec 2015, 10:06
Interesting game with more depth than I initially thought.
Galvesmash22 Dec 2015, 12:54
The game is great! You could add some background, a music to it and more levels!
Amazing job releasing it on mobile!
Benjamin28 Dec 2015, 18:16
My best Score is 44:70 ! good execution and nice sound design. I would just make these spikes kill you only if more than 20/25% visible.
Studiosaurus30 Dec 2015, 15:06
Great game! most fun I've had with an entry so far! The only problem was that when you tap really fast the game doesn't register the presses. So it's impossible to get the Really fast times.
GeorgeBroussard4 Jan 2016, 16:40
Awesome. Reminds me of many of Ketchapp's apps on mobile. I'd polish this up and head to mobile for sure. Nice entry.

Nice! Definitely looks cool on mobile devices too! Fun game! ;)

Absolutely incredible. I don't really have a single complaint! Simple, addicting, good feedback while climbing. This is something I'd play more even post Ludum Dare.
