Cool idea, and the animation is great. Really hard game though.
Maybe it's too difficult, but it was challenging enough for me to stay and beat it. Nice work :)
Woah, quite challanging. I totally hits the theme in my eyes, as you only need one button. Awesome, but there is some music missing and the game is to hard, but overall I really liked your entry!
Really fun game took me about 10 tries to beat and it really fits well with the minimalism theme!
Great animation quality!
Aside from this, it's interesting but requires a lot of memorization. It's also too hard to time the blasts properly.
Really difficult and kind of aggravating. I liked the graphics.
Wow, really brilliant idea and greatly executed! Job well done!
Interesting game bro, i like it! :D ... its also not that hard... for me xD
If anyone has troubles with the game, i was able to find a walkthrough online! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N-bW8EKWfA. Great game though, 5 stars, loved the graphics!
so hard -- some more hints or maybe some checkpoints would be great -- nice effort and i hope you add some more to it
I loved the idea, but sometimes it required some awkward shooting, especially right on landing from a jump.
Kudos for making it go right-to-left instead of left-to-right!
Cool game! Very neat concept. Well executed. Easy to grasp yet hard to master just like the Ninja-Do ;)
I love it, Here is my feedback, Maybe make the guy at the beginning flash "NOW!" so you know that is the time to press the button. Maybe make the end of the screen kill you,and the bomb will always make you jump. I just hating dieing to learn.
Full points on theme and innovation. This game really made more out of less.
Enjoyable. At first hard, but then I noticed the subtle cues as to when to throw the stars.
Nice take on the single button platformer. There were a couple bombs that were extremely challenging, and I got within view of the end numerous times. One complaint/critique is that some of the bombs seemed excessively picky about when you had to throw your star at them. A slightly larger blast radius would probably alleviate that, but then again it might make it all too easy also. Hard to say.
I think this would be an amazing infinite platformer, though I can imagine those are much more difficult to create.
It's really hard to catch the right moment, but interesting concept for sure

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Really hard, but at the same time cool game. It would be easier if there were checkpoints, or there just might not be any at the parts Ive been.
