Holy crap. Is this even possible to beat? (I really dig the animation)
I loved the gameplay and the colorfulness! may I ask how did you manage to stay concentrated for three consecutive days on a solo project?
Polished, heh ? Well don't look at the source. This is the worst anti-optimized flash junk I ever made.

@brogrammers : well I didn't plan to work on it for three days in the very beginning, so the two last days were just some kind of perpetual rush :B It was hard to stay focused even though I managed to sleep a few hours every night, but motivation wasn't an issue, so I managed.
But the point is that even if I worked alone, I wasn't on my own. Tyu (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/author/tyu/) and Pereubu (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/author/pereubu/) were with me the first two days, and having someone to laugh with when high on caffeine is a huge help - even if it can make you lose the focus, of course.
hahaha funny graphics and i like the concept, i like music too but....My fingers hurt!!!!
The decent into absolute absurdity was awesome. Took me a few tries to figure out you had to press space to jump on the train. I kept outrunning it. Good game!
The graphics are really good, but the gameplay is finger-hurting.
Very simple concept awesomely well exectuted. Loved the whole humor and graphic style. The death animations are just hilarious :)
Nice Art but how can you get onto the train, i was even faster than the train but then it overtook me again and i lost.
Nicely done. At first I thought that I have to run a race with a train, but it turns out that I need to grab that ladder.
One of the better 2-buttons-run game I ever played. Controls works fine in the game, but sneaking is really hard. Anyway is fun and polished!
very artsy. too bad im not good enough to beat this ;_;. I like the more unique approach on controls. reminds me of quop or the nes olympic games.
Oh yeah for thos who don't get the theme thing : each session of the game lasts 10 secs or asks you to be quicker.
love the art style, and the ending is fantastic. very unique game. great job!
Very cool. Graphics are awesome and the idea is rather unique
A nice little finger workout with a really cool story and art style. Great stuff!
You sure know how to have me playing your game. Well whatever, it's worth it.
This game is incredible. Loved the humour, the graphics and sounds and the gameplay.
Unfortunately I couldn't beat it, that last sequence I just can't reproduce on my keyboard (maybe I could do it if I had a flat one), but I had loads of time none the less.
Oh dang, I didn't think about the flat keyboard vs not flat keyboard thing. It must be much harder without a flat keyboard 3:
Guess I'll upload an easier version this week end for the people who, for any reason, cannot beat the game.
Just couldn't make it past the first screen no matter how fast I went. Out-ran the train and it said 'too slow'. Looks good if I can get past that bit.
*whispers in your ear* you have to press the space bar once you are at the ladder.
Haha, wow that is some game! The controls and gameplay were crazy - which I think was intended - but it was really fun to play! Really humourus too!
The graphics and animations were simply fantastic. Really impressive.
Fun, amazing graphics and music! It *may* be a bit too difficult. Despite the explanation given in the comments(that each game section lasts 10 seconds) I feel the theme is not too strong with this one.
The game is quite well crafted though. The level of polish this game has is breathtaking. Top entry!
Thanks for the feedbacks Tim, I tweaked a bit the easy version according to them. Now there's no excuse for not getting the spacebar thing anymore. And it's easyer to understand what to do when facing daddie Goddie. Just Sayin' Hehe.
Superb graphics, especially the character design!
The music in the beginning is nice, but pretty short - it gets annoying over time, especially because you have to start again when you die.
Sadly, it's also a bit too hard for me. That combined with the restarting - I didn't get far :(
Could you make a gameplay video so that I (and maybe other inept folks) can see what comes further? I want to know what happens!
Lovely graphics and congratz for the plot, the Miss Sheriff is a beautiful character. Also like the mashup that is the music.
I uploaded a video playthrough, it'll be ready in less than an hour. The link is already at the top of this page.
This... is genius.
It's so completely unexpected! I love it!
LOVE.
IT.
Everything's great.
Also. DAT ENDING.
Keep up the awesome work!
The graphics in this game is amazing! Love it! I featured it in my video compilation series of LD27 games, if you would like to check it out :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyApng3Bq-c

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.
Haha, this is awesome very stylistic art and quirky vibe going on.. loved the splash screen! xD Wish my game looked this good, really nice gameplay mechanics and animations (particually the blood on the game over screen). Rated this one very highly. :)
