    I left a comment on YYG. The game is so beautiful, like a cross between Frozzd, Pazzon, and Oi. I love it! Very nice programming. :D

    I loved it. Simple graphics, and smooth gameplay. The music was especially wonderful I thought. I guess you would almost call this game an ambient platformer yes? I guess if I was forced to come up with a quick way to explain the game, that would be it.

    Really wonderful whatever it is.

    Your website has been hacked. Take a look at the source code, it’s flooded with links to movies and such.

    @Core Xii, I know, currently working on it. Thanks.

    This game has a great feel to it. It definitely left me wanting more. I was afraid that it wouldn’t be interesting as the character design and concept are similar to things you’ve done in the past, but this works so well. Thank you for the great experience, and as always, I look forward to your next effort!

    @ortosian: thanks! why isn’t this video linked right next to the download link? I always look for a playthrough video before investing time in a game download. Cryptic stills can only wet your appetite so much.

    Beautiful visuals. Shame about the short length of the game.

  10. I don’t get it. It’s like a dumbed down version of Frozzd, with different graphics. What’s with all the hype?

    You used Flash to make those graphics, right?

    Awesome Game ! Like you promised, it’s very similar to Oi ! Thx :D . another release anytime soon??

    I really liked your prev games, but this one only makes me annoyed with that “kill yourself to 0 lives left” method. And it has to many similarity with Frozzd.
