Fun and simple

Pretty fun, neat idea, and nice graphics. Simple, but enjoyable.

One major problem; wall climb doesn't seem to work at all. At least, I never saw it do anything.

Also, a minor problem (which I'll spent most of this review on, naturally =]) is that double-jump is activated by holding 'jump'. Probably intentional, but I found it annoying. I never held 'jump' to double-jump, and I doubt many players do. My reasoning runs along these lines; a normal jump will get you past any single obstacle. The only time you would double-jump is if your first jump put you in danger of a second obstacle--so, double-jumping is always a decision you reach after your first jump failed. Players are unlikely to be planning a double-jump when they first press 'jump', and so having double-jump activate from holding 'jump' serves only to irritate those players (like me) who intuitively hold 'jump' when in the air.

Thanks a lot for writing a small review (hey, i can't call that a comment xD).
It will be really useful in our future game development.

Fun

Not that much action in the game, but i'm getting real good at pressing the "up" button :P

Great feeling running towards the colour tho!

Soon you'll become an "up button ninja" ;)
Thanks!

Fun, Some Small Bugs

I have never played Canabalt, so for me the colors is a fun twist to the side scrolling running games. It's a simple and fun game, perfect for killing time. Controls are responsive, which is really important for these kind of games.

There are just 2 things that I wanted to mention:
1. The shrub area of effect is actually larger than the shrubs themselves, which makes it a bit frustrating to try to gauge the actual area you need to avoid.
2. While I did mention that the controls were responsive, they were too sensitive at times. The llama sometimes performs double jumps if I tapped the jump key a fraction of a second too long.

Overall, great job. The artwork and animation is decent. The progressive gain of color is good.

frozencoin responds:

Thank you for the review!
1. Yes, the area of effect is actualy rectangular. So it is larger in corners than it seems to be. That is just to increase the game performance.
2. Well, there is such thing especially when your jump strength in not upgraded yet. It's mostly like feature not bug))) Otherwise controls would've been not as easy as they are.
Thanks once again for the review. We are willing to get more reviews like this one.

Nice

A nice game with uprgrades plain and simple but I really liked it. Something known with a nice twist!

Thanks a lot ;)

simple and nice

Eventhough I'm not much into reflex based games, this one made me play until unlocking the colored mode. That means it's a good game.
