Nicely done!

Super cute! I loved that you used the PICO-8 to make art. It makes the game so much better for me.
When the crow double-backed on me, I got a bit frustrated since I didn't see it coming, but overall I liked how the DNA changed me as I went.

Good graphics. Really fun game. Liked how the audio evolved as the game progressed. I also liked that the player didn't just stop when I released the key, that made it a bit harder too. Great game.

Enjoyable game, but the lag at the end of pressing right was pretty frustrating to me. Made it feel imprecise.

Nice job!

Great little game! Took a few tries to learn timings, and cursed a bit when I died before climbing the tree :)

That's quite cute. also incredibly art for me :p

Nice pixel graphics! I apparently don't have the reflexes to even get past the first two horizontal birds. =P

Very, hard, and the complete reset on death is super harsh.
Some cute ideas though, and the music is nice.

Nice game. Simple but funny!

love the music!, the mechanics are simple but solid, very hard and challenging game, good job!

Catching game with cute graphics. Liked it :)

Fun game but was there music? I couldn't hear anything...(Fire Fox)
Loneshark15 Dec 2015, 17:49
Ignore my last comment about the music as I'm having issues with my sound card in general. I'll re-rate you.

This “sliding” is so evil.

Nice game. I liked the development of different body parts. I wish there where checkpoints along the way.

Really great music. Enjoyed the game, the character did "slide" more than I expected when you release the key though. Loved it though :)

Love the concept and the music is perfect. Really great idea to use the "dna" to grow the abilities of the player. Nice work!
AndyBrown16 Dec 2015, 17:22
Fun game, but I didn't have the patience to get past the jumping section. Checkpoints at each powerup would have really helped with the flow. The music was great though, and I loved the concept!

The jumping section is bugged, and sometimes makes you unable to move right before the end. Otherwise, nice graphics and pretty good gameplay.

Neat!
Justin Mullin22 Dec 2015, 04:18
Very cool. The fairly significant momentum/slow deceleration on the character adds a lot, I think. I liked the frequent new abilities, and though the difficulty was pretty reasonable, though it's definitely annoying to restart from the very beginning.
scorched22 Dec 2015, 17:01
The game is cool until you get legs! After that it is hard to avoid even the very first spikes!
HeyChinaski23 Dec 2015, 22:42
Great game. Really enjoyed it. Loved the low res art and the use of both themes :)
Congrats

Cute little game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/EztdlDzFrUE

Hehe I liked this it reminded me of games on the c64. I liked the upgrades and the simple addictive gameplay. Nice job!

Nice simple idea, the space key changing kept it from getting stale.
Wish it didn't take so long to get back where you were after you died, it started feeling a little frustrating.

How I miss checkpoints... ;-)
Cracking music too!
