Spike

very fun game most of my deaths were spawn kills. did 3 levels.
you shod realy make it idiot proof. maybe a half a second invunrabilety after spawn.

What an infuriating and fun game! Ingenious concept, a bloody take on unfinished swan. And the upbeat music fits very nicely, in an exasperating sort of way.

Hey!

This was short (because I could only get to the third stage) but was very fun! Nice concept, well executed. I agree a little with yoel_r, because sometimes you die right at spawn if you move too fast… maybe if the hitbox was a liiiiiiiittle, just a little more forgiving, it would improve a lot.

Sweet if sort of sadistic game, only made it to level 3. Actually pretty fun, once you get into it, although there is a certain amount of luck involved in basically iterating through all possible unexplored paths until you get the right one. Liked the music it fit nicely.

Reached level 13!

The gameplay is pretty effective, with those scary spikes, a pitch black scene where you can explode any time, and a tune that seems to mock you as you progress :P

After some levels, progress starts to get mechanical though, as in "pick a path to try, walk until you die, repeat". The excitement of running for 4+ tiles without dying is the main thing that kept me entertained. I'm quite proud of this level in particular:

I don't mind the spawn deaths, they require you to be ready anytime to release the keys so it adds a skill factor. The game mostly lacks a "high score" spot in the title screen, so you can share proof of your achievements. You could probably add support for it directly in your engine!

Made it to level 5 :)

Nice game. The graphics are nice and the idea to "paint" your way is cool. I also like the music very much and you intro is really badass! Great Game!

Nice game with simple, yet effective, graphics, a cool idea and good music

Played this for the 1st AKJ tourny. Great tactical game, it helps if you play a few times to learn the shapes of the dungeons, but having a stab (yey) at guessing the path is pretty entertaining. The death commentary is glorious.
