Good but...
It starts too slow and the music gets boring.
Reviews for "Hurdle Turtle: Flash!"
good game
its a nice game wasted like 10 minutes on this game
Cute but
It's kind of difficult to tell when you should jump, and the game eventually started moving so fast I couldn't mentally keep up. Good for people with quicker brains than mine.
Fun game, great music
I enjoyed the game play and the music, awesome retro throwback. However I found the hit boxes are a lot bigger than the graphics. The walls are the worst of it, you can be noticeably above or below them and still get hit. Poor hit detection really ruins games in my opinion. You'd have yourself a top notch game of this caliber if the hit boxes were better and if the screen zoomed out as that guy below me mentioned. I'd buy it on XBL if those changes were made.

Thanks for the review! :)
As for the hit detection on the walls - don't forget the game is isometric, not flat.. and the turtle himself is a flat sprite, which means you have to take perspective into account when dodging.
Basically, if you (and by you, I mean the turtle's feet/shadow) are below the middle line, you won't hit the top walls, and if they're above, you won't hit the bottom walls, and I made sure it's quite accurate in that way.
Controls were glitchy
For some reason the controls would sometiems glitch and the turtle would go into infinate flip mode or rush to the front of the screen and not move. otherwise great game!

You're the first to mention this issue and I haven't been able to reproduce it.. has this happened in any other game with the same buttons? This reminds me of a laptop I had with a sticky keyboard that did similar things with some of the keys (most notably the sticky w key caused my party to wipe in a hilarious WoW incident) ;)
