Really liked the game, you had a very interesting idea there. The only thing that made it a bit worse is that the arrows moved the page.

Thanks for the feedback and I did not realize the arrow keys moved the page and I did not have much time to test play it.

You have a very interesting concept, however this follow through was a bit poor. The checkerboard pattern, along with the browser scrolling when using the arrows keys, really hurt my eyes, brain, and soul. I got stuck around lv 5, I dont think its possible to beat it. 

The enemy chases the pig, but there is no way to run away or juke. I tried going down and going up. When going up, you have to constantly keep scrolling the webpage to even have a chance of winning, which gave me a migrain. The concept is really interesting, maybe try uploading this as an app, cause on browser it just doesnt work due to scrolling. Also please include a full screen button in you itch, as that might also fix scrolling issue. 

I'll revisit this if above is fixed, purly beacause the theme/ idea is sooo good, but the follow through is just too poor to be playable at this moment.

I like the idea of moving everything else but the player, and the difficulty gradually slides up.  The arrow keys move the browser, so it does get annoying trying to scroll back.  The checkerboard background is really tough on my eyes, and text that blends in to the background does not help.  There's also a point in around the 5th level where the enemy moves a little too fast for you to avoid.

THE ADVENTURE OF TINGY Ups and Downs

Ups:

  • The concept of moving everything but the character is cool and works well in practice
  • There's a decent amount of challenge in some of the later stages
  • The audio is pretty funny which I like

Downs:

  • The colour palette of the game makes things a bit hard to see. More contrasting colours would have been ideal
  • Use of the arrow keys to move made things frustrating playing in a browser, as moving the in game objects up and down made the browser scroll up and down

Overall, a charming game with a novel concept that works well!

I think this fits the theme perfectly! It's a really clever idea. However, I agree with some other comments that the color scheme makes it really hard to see and read the text. I thought the music was a bit repetitive too. But a really good start here, with some polish you'd have something really cool!

I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)

This game is really fun (needs a few bug fixes though)! I like the graphics, design, idea, and music! I do also think that you should make it (in whatever way that may be) so that it doesn't move the window around when you're trying to move the character. Also when I figured out how to (theoretically) do the second level I couldn't do it because I can only move the thing a few times in one direction, after that it resets the level. Keep up the good work!!

The concept is very cool, but the game itself is a little bit buggy and also the colors you've chosen are difficult to see over that background. Keep up the good work!

Instead of using the arrow key wasd keys would be nice

I like the idea and aesthetic a lot, but I think its a bit hard to read what is going on and the enemies don't move with the background which makes them impossible to avoid.

I liked the concept of not controlling the character!

But the arrow-keys scroll the browser and it's kinda annoying.  Also the pink text was hard to read!

agreed (for all of that)
