If i had a nickel for every game ive played on newgrounds that involves a bird wall-jumping alway from saws, Id have 2 nickels.

anyways, rome designs are pretty solid. I really liked the vertical ones.
i kinda wish this had a level editor

i need more of this

Action Platformer flash. Graphics are all pixel art all the way. Controls could be tighter and more responsive. Needs to be much longer.

I like it. It's pretty fun.
Here's my stats.
Time: 18:07.317
Collectables: 29/29
Deaths: 161
The controls are great and the levels are simply yet fun.

30m 28s with 29/29 collectibles and 347 deaths! That's 28s short of getting a D, but I'll take it. Very fun, though I would really have liked a regular indication of total levels + the level I'm on. I've no idea what this game even feels like without having done the tutorial first, but I'm glad I tried it right away.
