Lox is an arcadey hybrid Platformer/SHMUP.  You must run and jump along the ground while battling flying foes.

that kongregate link just links to the main page.

not very deep but a fun 5 minute time waster.

if you jump on top of an enemy you get stuck and it insta-kills you, is that intended?

[Alec S.]

You're able to jump off the bird if you land on top of it.

ah ok. don't think I'm a fan of that mechanic, every time I jump on something it seems to kill me.

fun though, it has that canabalt feeling "just one more round" ends up being 20 rounds.

This is fun stuff dude. I dig on the ever-so-slight amount of ass one needs to haul if you want to chain kills, especially in the beginning.

Not sure if I'm a fan of the bird-riding either— my brain just expects to take damage every time I land on one.

Glad to hear that!

As for the bird riding, it was meant as a little mechanic that the player discovers as playing that they'll possibly be able to turn to their advantage, and which gets more important as the game progresses.  Plus it gives you a safe way to collide with an enemy if a collision is unavoidable.

Lox is now also on Newgrounds:  http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/612116

Help it get a good rating coming out of Under Judgement!  

[deathtotheweird]

hmm it says I don't have permission to view that page.

Whoops, wrong link.  Here's the correct one:  http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/612116
