No I shouldn't and I won't , because I'm a badass and a trend setter , I take risks and stand out in a crowd ; I'm a hero , I'm a villain , I'm morally ambigous in a rad way and you can't do nothing about it.

Awesome game!

You're like Miyamoto. Or Miyagi.

Finding it slightly hard to get past the second question mark level. I think I'm missing something.

Ok, I got to level 13 but I have to go get Tactix from the airport soon.

Fun, but towards the later levels I felt like the guy moved just a little too fast. I know it's supposed to be hard, but the slightest tap of the arrow would send him careening off the edge, which was annoying since there's barely a pixel width of space where he's safe from the spikes.

Also the music made me want to shoot myself, but I pushed M so it was ok.

Overall I had a good time though!

Pretty cool, I have trouble jumping without any sense of inertia. I don't know how stuck you are on that, but I'm used to inertia like Mario Bros or N+.
RonBurgandy2010's Destructoid Blog
I would have rathered use space for jumping, that would make it a hell of a lot easier for me. Nice job though, even though I never made it past the third or fourth screen due to the difficulty of jumping. The music was fun too.
bluexy's Destructoid Blog
hahah, fun game man :) the hardest level had to be the all black block level. i must have died a half billion times just starting off... the rest seemed easy after that. albeit you forced me to try again with all those invisible walls hahah.

at first i thought that last all spike level was going to be murder... but luckily it's super simple when you find the right path.

what's arrayprinter? is it some flash doodad?

Level 3 killed my boner
wanderingpixel's Destructoid Blog
Pretty good, but some of the puzzles felt a little too cheap.

What program did you use to make the game?
Fyrebrand's Destructoid Blog
Well. This is definitely addictive, and fills me with rage and a feeling that I must defeat this maddening game. But, alas, I have finally been beaten. I think I see what has to be done, but I just will not do it. I came to a level where I just got a heart, and walked through the door. I don't know what that meant, but the next level after that was all I could take.

You asked for some negative comments/criticism, so... my advice and/or request would be to make the jump button something other than the UP arrow.
Also: I don't know about this whole invisible platforms/roadblocks and pixel-perfect jumps deal that seems to progressively dominate the level structure. I enjoyed it more when the challenge stemmed from trying to figure out the puzzle of how the level was laid out, but not when I knew what to do and just couldn't do it because of the godly precision required of my clumsy keyboard-addled control of the character.

But, I had fun!
Fyrebrand's Destructoid Blog
Sorry, one more comment:

The heart. I don't know why I got a heart, or what it did. Is the player not supposed to know until later? Does it mean anything?

Also: THANK YOU for infinite lives. This game would not have worked without that feature.
RAB's Destructoid Blog
yeah fuck level three

jerk
Mxyzptlk's Destructoid Blog
You destroyed my brain.
protoknuckles's Destructoid Blog
I'm not sure how to get past the last 3 spikes in level 3....
Also, I'm not sure what the later levels are like, so I can't completely judge, but level 2-3 seemed like a weird jump in difficulty (although I think you were going for that), as a player, I'd like to learn the controls a little more gradually, and have a little forgiveness as I learn.
Cadtalfryn's Destructoid Blog
It's pretty challenging.
Stella Wong's Destructoid Blog
lulz level 3 what is wrong with me?? :O

I must say it was fun and felt like I was jump floating for a little bit. I would have to press up and tap the directions if I wanted to be barely on an edge of the platform.

Great goodness I'll try again when I'm not exhausted.

@Kendal Lew
I agree

@Fyrebrand
The heart is there to confuse the player.

Jonathan Holmes's Destructoid Blog
Totally stuck on level 3.

Great game though.
Kris S's Destructoid Blog
Not bad, music started to turn me insane though and I had to mute. As said above you should definitely swap jump to space and for me personally wouldn't mind being able to use a+s.
Thank god for infinite lives eh :)
DaedHead8's Destructoid Blog


I got stuck at this jump. I tried it a bunch of times before giving up. I liked the music, the controls were workable. I just wish I didn't suck so I could see more of the game. haha
Scary Womanizing Pig Mask's Destructoid Blog
This is not Legally Blonde The Musical The Game :( It's still pretty slick though ;)
grafkhun's Destructoid Blog
The screenshot up there is the level I'm stuck on. I getto the bottom most leve that is possible, but can't make the jump across the 3 spikes to the left. Music got irritating, so I put on some Perpetuous Dreamer, made it seem not as hard actually.
grafkhun's Destructoid Blog
Wow, I just figured out how to beat that level, just go on the edge of the blck squar with the one spike, then go up, now there's another ? mark level, with one spike and more invisible platforms.
themizarkshow's Destructoid Blog
Pretty good game! I'm playing it to kill time at work... the jump/move mechanics seem a little loose (it seems more difficult than it should be to move just a bit to the left/right and jumping feels like you are kinda floaty) but its fun nonetheless.
manasteel88's Destructoid Blog
Did the same thing Deadhead8 did...f'ing jumps too loose
manasteel88's Destructoid Blog
still pretty interesting game for how little I played.
Holyetheline's Destructoid Blog
I got stuck where Daedhead8 did.

Jumping and movement feels nice but I didn't have enough inspiration to play beyond where I got stuck/annoyed.
sohnvonben's Destructoid Blog
I got stuck on a much later level where you had to jump across a few blocks to the end and when you fall off you don't restart and have to navigate your way back up on invisible blocks, did not want.
Soggy Toast's Destructoid Blog
Great game but I'm stuck in the same place as Daedhead8 and Holyetheline. I didn't like how easy it was to accidentally move though.
