Jumping. But this game has that too! It's actually really a very good game, though it is fiendishly difficult. Great retro music and sound fx. The gameplay feels nice and responsive.

Awesome! I love the graphics in this one. And it played surprisingly well too (given the theme of the competition). One of the levels lagged incredibly on my machine, though Cry

Wow! Out of nowhere comes one of the best entries of the compo. I have no idea what this game has to do with Barnacles (or even space really) but it doesn't matter because this is a sweet game.

Well, it's certainly a neat, polished little platformer. But how does it fit as a B-Game? Seems way too tidy and the concept doesn't seem like anything outrageous.

Wow!  How long is this game?  A metroidvania entry was the last thing I expected.  Smiley

I really like this one, the retro scanlines and the minuscules sprites, it also very fun and easy to get sucked into. I get major slowdown in some areas, but it's still playable somehow- reminds me of an old c64 game, Black Lamp; there was a room with a dragon that would render the game unplayable on entry, by making the framerate something like 1/32 fps. But we still would try to kill the dragon, because it was cool. Good times.

very nice and polished, almost too polished for a b-game. Wink
