Umm, Noooo. First you need to make the graphics not make me want to not play it. Try making the ground #222222 and #333333, and making the background a pale, or cyan-ish blue.

Look how much better it looks (ignore all the brokenness, that's cause it was a jpeg when I edited it. Save in .png, not .jpeg)

Disagree. All of the graphics are great, except the blob plane which doesn't really fit with the rest. Game is great too. I wanted to beat it badly, and now I kind of want to buy VVVVVV. Fun for what it is.

A few things:

First off, I personally believe that the graphics are a bit too distracting; I can see you tried to be innovative or different, but when my eyes are confused as to what I'm looking at, it's no good. Full-screen is probably not a good idea for a default setting, not everyone likes that.

Also, I don't know if it's due to the site you uploaded it on (I quick played the game personally, assuming it would be a more efficient way to play)or the way your developed it, but the game has some serious lag when it starts up. I would suggest looking into that.

You have a good idea, just work on the kinks a bit.

I'm having a problem with my eyes where too much movement at once causes several uncomfortable problems. I gave your game a try and while the movement felt right, I couldn't continue due to the aforementioned problem.
For me too potentially enjoy this game, it would need an option to calm down the screen a bit. Maybe an option to halt the frantic flickering (if there is, sorry, just quickplayed it). I also think the player character could use some more contrast against the background. I sometimes spent half a minute looking for the character.

Otherwise, I really can't say that much about it at this stage. As I said, the movement feels right. Just the right amount of momentum and air control.

Oh man I really like this game - aaah it's really disorienting and gorgeous.

the game was a bit too hard for me, i had to give up due to the difficulty; i love the visuals but feel you can do more with them than a platformer and insta-death spikes (which has been done better by other games such as vvvvvv and so on). as an experiment with a visual style though this game is a success. i also don't like up being jump (rather than a key like z or something), it makes platformers much harder to control for me. that was also my biggest problem with radix's enough plumbers game.


cyan, you're kind of a jerk even when you're giving constructive feedback. if you didn't even play the game, it's best not to criticize the screenshot. if you played the game you'd notice that it's a lot different than the screenshot, motion/movement makes a huge difference: the static staying still would make it hard to play, but because the static is in motion, it works well.

I liked it, the spike-hit effect/sound somehow made me flinch every time, it was really annoying but in sort of a good way?

Gotta admit that the screenshot doesn't really give it justice ;)

I liked the fog level a lot. The last level was pretty frustrating, but I got it eventually... Cool game, very stylish and bizarre.

Oh man, the hit sound makes me so frustrating.

Very short game, not really hard. I may have died 20 times. I love how the game fucks with your vision.
