I like the audio and the visual presentation fits well, too. The game is quite hard but still very addictive! For a post-compo version, I would make it a little, little bit easier by moving the player a bit to the top so he has more time to react. My record was 22. The music kept playing for a while after I closed the game :D
Hm. It says that MSVCR120.dll is missing when I try to launch on Windows.
Crashes for me as well, but I was able to get a good feel for the game before it happened.
woop, pretty fun!
i think the game is still running in the background after i close it, i can still hear the music haha
Ah, I found your game! I think it's really well-designed in a deliciously simple way! Nicely done!
Seems like complete game. Is Android version planning? It would be very cool.
@dector: Is that something you'd be interested in?! :D I'd need to balance it a whole lot more before a proper release though. :)
Same here, account suspended. Use dropbox or hostr or something - some web hosts don't appreciate actual traffic >_>.
@Newt_ @Spaceoff -- WHOOPS! I didn't go over the bandwidth limit, I somehow missed an invoice from my hosting provider. All fixed now!
Cool little game. Seems like it'd be a great fit for mobile. I like the glass breaking effects.
Hahaha I was playing it a lot unitl i gave up. Awesome work, i loved the GUI. Simple and really really Fun!. :D
Doesn't fit the theme that much, but definively that kind of addictive and simple game that works very well.
I had some glass panel not being destroyed when I hit them (but still added to the score, so I guess it's okay), but really well done anyway. :)
Awesome job! great graphics, I was rockin to the music, and really nice risk/reward gameplay. Its allot like the games I make in that regard, could be a great mobile game!
very fun retro-style arcade game with flappy bird like addictiveness
Oh it's really addictive... enjoyed a lot! Web version seems a little buggy( I fall through a grass but sometime it just not counted ), so I tried download version and finally got 21.
OMG this is sooo good I'm going to spend all night playing this!!! <3<3
You really nailed the addictive and frustrating gameplay, and on top of that it's visually stunning and the audio is perfect. 5/5 one of the most fun games this LD!
Super colorful, super fun game! I included it in part 11 of my Ludum Dare compilation video if you'd like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/-vf2U372Ego
really good but so hard - give some more indication where the glass will be - nice job
I love this game. It's a head falling through panes of glass in space. I played a lot of times and finally got to the white screen and will play more. I think the idea of going for or avoiding the glass is great.

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.
