This was good enough to recommend. I think the strongest point was probably how it was a pretty easy going game. It's a bit too easy, but also too hard at times. It is simply killer to make it over that one jump where you have to go past a wide area and over a small spike area. It would have been better if you could kill the clocks by jumping on them. Of course, we here on Newgrounds have a wide appreciation of clocks, I guess.
The voice seemed to be the same whenever he said, "Ouch". There could have probalby been more detail. I would have liked it more if you had some easier jumps to make. You would be surprised at how frustrating this game can get as there are in fact a fair number of obstacles. It's not that special, but still decent.

This is a pretty nice game in my opinion. I kinda liked the colourful graphics, even though the drawings and animation are a little bit simplistic. The music is alright too. I think the tune is kinda catchy although I doubt I can bare listening to it for long.
What I didn't really like was the "screen to screen" exploring rather than having the camera scroll with you. Actually, that in itself isn't a problem, but on some screens you are suddenly right in front of a gap or have an enemy right in your face. I think that's a little annoying and it makes it quite hard to time your jumps. It would nice if you made the level lay-out so that you can at least see where you end up and be sure that you can safely walk into the next screen.
Lastly, personally I kinda like how it's a bit on the short side. There were a couple of screens where I died quite a lot of times and if the game had been much longer I think that would've only made it more and more frustrating. If you're ever going to make a sequel I think keeping it short and sweet is fine.

This is a fun platformer game. The graphics are nice. The controls can stick sometimes, but are mostly decent. I like the bonus speed for reaching the end. Will there be a sequel?
I will think about the possibility of sequel. This will depend on success of the current version of game.

This game was short, but pretty fun. I didn't find it particularly difficult; that isn't to say I didn't die a few times. But check marks were fairly common, and the jumps weren't too difficult. I like that you get a little faster each time you play- on the other hand, I wish the screen tracked you instead switching from screen to screen, making it impossible to see where you are jumping in several paces. I think, for the time it was made in it's a pretty good game, with an interesting concept. I think this could be a fun longer game.
