Fun entry, clean graphics, reminds me of my time in high school !
The theme and graphics for this are pretty cute. The platforming controls could use a little work, but nice job.
I like your interpretation, but it lacks a bit of variation. After two attacks you simple know when and wherethe pen will strike again. Just some random factors and maybe "new attacks" would have been cool! Still very cute!
I enjoyed this ^_^ I think if a little more was put in it would be a really cool complete game. I liked the whole feel of the pencil eraser and stuff.
I really enjoyed this game, well done!
The idea is very unique and fun :)
You should include a game mode where you are the pencil. That's what I thought was going on at first :P
Cute, fun little game! Some audio would have helped bring it all together.
Thanks all.
I'll update the game with tweaked controls and some sound later this week.
Original concept was that once you have destroyed a page, it would tear away revealing the next level and next school subject. The last level would be on the manilla back of the notebook where you have a boss fight with the pencil.
This was a very different take on the theme, and indeed on a platformer. It's complete and well thought out.
My wife made a "Mum plays..." of your game: http://youtu.be/ikVR1T6hCzI
This is really neat! I played it several times before I really got decent at it. It is a little awkward getting stuck between numbers sometimes. Very nice work!
Nice game, but I sometimes stucked in Math :DDD. Check my game too: President's bodyguard simulator.
Yo Kep! Just played the post jam version with the refined controls and can say that you've definitely made it a richer experience! Final thing I'd suggest is a quick tutorial page that explains how to move and head-butt the letters. Nice job again, I really dig the style. I was actually able to outrun certain death this time, hah!
Hi :) !
The pencil follow animation is cool, we should see it more !
May be the pencil could be closer when moving around before it tries to erase the character ?
Just tried the post-jam version. The music and sounds really add to it. My wife is sitting beside me now raving about how good your game is becoming - and how original it is too. A good game just got better.
cute idea. collisions get a bit sticky though. i would often get stuck and then erased >_<
This is a great idea. I wish you could dodge the eraser in a way that it would erase the math problems. This would add a neat upside to dodging the eraser smoothly in the right positions. Good job. fun to play.
Many thanks to everyone for playing the post-jam version. I very happy to see people enjoying the improvements.
This is my 13th game of the month in a row and you can play all of them from my One Game a Month profile here: http://www.onegameamonth.com/HellscapeGames
I'll be participating in the Global Game Jam in about a month, so find me on social media for updates.

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. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
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.
Pretty cool game, won it :P
There seems to be a little bug though, if you jump and stick to a platform's edge, you sometimes get stuck.
