I missed your game during the review period (thought I'd got everyone I followed from yesteryear(s), doh). Was a cool concept and implementation. Neat little package and not too difficult - I mean sometimes it was tricky to get a heart across but our intrepid cheater doesn't lose lives so often :)

aww thanks very much! :) Just checked and realised you were the one who made Stall last year, which was one of the best I think!
Glad you enjoyed playing! I do try and make my games beatable for Jams :), though some struggle with the controls still. But it's great to hear you made it to the end :)
Thanks for playing!

Thanks! Much appreciated!
Was trying to get the player used to the game a little before adding in the spikes :), then more spikes,.. then mooorrreee spikes! :D.
Good to know you found the controls easy enough. Some found it to hard, others to easy :).

Glad you enjoyed the game :).
Art wise, I was grabbing assets from a few sources, so perhaps not the best at blending together :).
Thanks for playing!
Gotta have some floor spikes :D
Side and rood spikes later.
Some found it to hard, some to easy, others squeked through. The Freeplay mode is there to help get used to the controls a bit more, but generally jokes in Gamejams only want a quick one play, so perhaps that mode was a waste of time.
Thanks for playing.

Theme, Life in 2D,.. so my game was based on being an Extra Life,. in a 2D game. I thought I was being quite clever :P, maybe not :D.
Thanks for playing. Sorry you found it a bit busy. Does get a bit manic towards the last wave :).
Max hearts was there as a sort of control to not stock up to many hearts in the easier levels. Regardless I did toy with keeping track of that for scoring, but decided against any form of "high score" for this game.
the other "Game modes" were just a bit of story flavour to tease with. Making 3 more entire games on my own would have been too much in the time I had :P.
Glad to hear you beat the game though :). Helps balance out those who struggled with the controls completely and found it to hard.
Great job on finishing it! Yeah the last level is a bit nuts, but if you've mostly stocked up on lives before that, it doesn't matter if you don't make it during that wave. Had to go a bit all out though for it :P.
It's a tricky one controls wise. For me it's a piece of cake now, and I can sail through most levels fine, I'm very in tune to them (obviously as I've played it loads while building). Some people found the game to hard and couldn't get to the end, others found it to easy.
I hoped added in the Free play mode would give people chance to play around a bit with it, but in Jam games most jokes don't want to play one game for too long anyway :P.
Anyway, thanks for playing and the feedback.
