Crazy game, but fun enough for me to play it a whole bunch of times. They should write on that dudes tombstone, "If only his neck, were as strong as that helmet."
This is fantastic. Really like the movement idea though I am terrible at it. :D
The sound when you break your neck gives me the shievrs for some reason! Still, I like the idea, really fun and simple to play.
This is gloriously dumb. I love it.
Excellent work! :D
Awesome! Loved the slow down/decapitation when he dies. Really nice graphics (but I'm a sucker for voxels.) Difficulty seemed to ramp up too quickly, never made it very far at all. With some tweaking, this could be really cool!
Very excellent game! I could only get a few meters but was reward each time with gore!
Lol, pretty funny, I really enjoyed the pixelated blood and rocket propelled miner. It could really use a good theme song, but overall it was good :)
omg. I loved it. you really need to add screams when his head falls off. great job.
Interesting, decent graphics, nice concept. Could have been polished, maybe some better audio and music, but overall enjoyable.
Can't really get the hang of the controls, so I can't really rate the rest of the game sadly. I really like the death effect though, haha. And of course the neck snapping.
Fun to play. Loved the movement style and the fact that is score based.
Not entirely sure how the mechanics actually work but I enjoyed it all the time! Pretty addictive :)
Great game, that neck snapping sound is creepy :)
I imagine this would make a great app.
Bunch of really cool stuff! I like how the game mechanic is so simple yet challenging at the same time that requires the player to actually focus :D
Kudos to you!

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
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.
That's really quite addictive! Great concept, great graphics and two game modes which are each good in their own right. The only thing missing is a soundtrack, but I'm not sure whether that would ruin the ambience.
