Jump from ledge to ledge for as long as you can to escape the growing pit of lava below you! Sometimes you'll lose your grip, sometimes there just won't be a ledge to grab. Don't fall!
People who've played have given some great suggestions to improve it, so I've started working on my Post-Comp build!
Really digging the atari-look graphics / sound! Found the game itself pretty hard, I think having the platforms break makes it a bit too easy to die. The controls themselves work well with the 2 button layout, but holding down the button for 6 seconds each time you die is too long. Kudos for putting this together in a 48 hours, and nice work overall! 'v'
Neat little concept. A bit on the hard end, and the only thing that really bugged me was trying to jump straight up and accidentally moving one way or the other.
The random platforms sometimes make it so it's actually impossible to progress. Also when jumping, hitting the keys at an odd time sometimes changes your jump angle.
I guess it's because it's random, there's sometimes a situation where there's no way up? Also I couldn't figure out the controls. It seemed you could accidentally change direction while jumping up.
lol! Actually quite a fun game; however the 'hold for 3 secs to start' function puts me off playing over and over. I like how the whole software itself is controlled with 2 buttons.
Nice ! The idea is really good. The controls are not smooth enough I think and restarting the game is a bit too long, but I like the general feeling. Good job
Echoing other people but I like this, but I think the combination of completely random platforms along with the destructable grips, along with the speed of the kill plane rising means that because I'm not psychic I will have no chance to make up for picking the wrong option.
I like this - it makes me think a lot of GIRP (by the creator of QWOP). The only problem is, vertical jumps are next to impossible - maybe it would've been better to have one button toggle directions and the other jump?
I think it would have helped a lot to have an immediate restart instead of waiting so long to restart. It would make a difficult game like this less frustrating. Like how Super Meat Boy allows you to restart immediately. Nice job, though!
I really really enjoyed the style of this game, I would refer to it as "old school" in a good way :). Great audio/graphics. I also really liked the countdown when you hold the escape to exit the game. That was a lot better than a "are you sure" or just exiting. I may steal that for my future games :)
Nice compo! Maybe you should avoid plateforme to be completely random because sometimes, you get stuck. Jumping straight ahead is also difficult, but the concept is cool. Good job
I really like the music and art for the game, but the controls made it almost unplayable. you could have used some sort of non random to make it easier, like left arrow key could only be down or left and right arrow key could only be up or right. You could also have put in some checks to ensure you didn't roll and get the same direction twice, or couldn't have the same direction stored on both buttons.
Whoops, commented on the wrong game by accident. Real review here: Controls were hard to use, often when I tried to jump up I would change the direction of my jump and end up jumping to my death. Maybe if you used a slight delay in the input of changing movement and in that time if both keys were pressed, not change direction

Sidenote: You seem to have uploaded the dev version of the application. That's why the file size is so large.
Good job
