why oh fuck why do people choose to use 2 random keys on the keyboard for the jump and attack buttons
I find myself constantly pressing the wrong button by mistake and jumping when I should have attacked
also this is another game by a girl who blatantly wants attention, so she makes her avatar the main character, surrounding the character with sickeningly "cute" bullshit
You can change the controls to any keys in the option menu, but Z and X are standard jump / attack controls in many retro-style games, like Cave Story and the ZSNES emulator.
The main character is not based on either of us, and I don't think we're the ones looking for attention. =P
Well this is certainly a fun little game.
I have to say, first off, I wasn't affected by the optical illusion in play here. Could be that I never identified it.
This is perhaps one of the most simple games on Newgrounds I have found in a long time. The controls are easy and manageable, which really affects the difficulty of the game, going from beginner to expert as you progress. [Especially when landing after a triple jump; can't even count the amount of times I got hit] This right here is gaming at its core.
I found it cute that you chose Death to look like a fox, as well as the three foes you can head hunt as well. The graphics were simple, and I love the feeling of nostalgia they evoke. The girl's expressions were well thought-out, which I think adds to the cuteness of it all, despite it's rather grim premise. Kudos to you.
The music was catchy and well done, and on more than one occasion, I wanted to just bop along to it, even if I was constantly running and slaying animals. I especially love the little parts that sounded reversed, which really added a nice touch to the game and helped convey the feeling of a bad dream or nightmare. You could say it sort of spurred me to get all the medals. Although reversing music may sound weird, given the song, I think you guys pulled it off stupendously.
Overall, the game was very nice, with a simple, achievable goal over time. It had enough appeal to keep me playing, and I shall say it is a gem of a game, truly unique amongst others.
5 5 Fav
Loved every second of it!
Thanks so much, we really appreciate the glowing review! Some of those 0/5 people were getting to me, but comments like this remind me why we do this. =)
Nice Game. It was, how some say, 'cute'.
Well anyways, a little add-on the the ending thing:
To get the ending get all the medals BUT the medal Sunlight as that is the medal when you GET the ending.
That confused me for a bit and I sat for a while getting to 673m then I finally realized that WAS the ending thing.
Anyways, nice game 5/5.
Really fun, simple game with great animation and music. The only complaint I have is that, when I finally beat Death, I was too busy rolling my eyes and being grumpy that I'd just died to see the moment Death died. ): While I like that you don't see your victory coming, I wish there'd been a slightly longer 'victory' animation, like with her speeding up again and turning around to face him. Then I wouldn't have missed it.
I actually got visually disoriented after playing this game, I think I'm sick or something
thanks for reminding me to put that in the FAQ. it's an optical illusion that some people are getting when they play for too long, called the 'waterfall effect'. wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_aftereffect
don't worry, it's harmless. =)
